The Worm Mod
by moffmoth1
The Worm Mod lets players dig up worms and eat them in a NeoForge world for 1.21.1.
What it does
Worms can be dug out of blocks in the world, collected, hoarded and consumed. The mod turns this loop of digging and eating into its core activity, presenting it as a playful take on the sandbox idea that drew players to Minecraft in its early years.
