Trick XOR Treat
Trick XOR Treat adds two sword enchantments that cannot be carried together, one dealing debuffs and one dropping candy, for players who hit mobs during the Halloween season.
What it does
Trick and Treat are mutually exclusive enchantments for swords, so a weapon can carry one or the other but never both. Of the vanilla debuffs, the Trick enchant covers nearly all of them, but it skips poison, wither and the warden's darkness effect; on a hit it can also trigger odd sounds. Treat makes enemies drop candy when they are struck, rolling from a pool of candy types on each drop.
Both enchantments reach a maximum level of 3. At level 3 the effect has a 15% chance to apply on a hit, and each level below 3 reduces that chance by 5%. Candy restores a little hunger and a small amount of saturation, and it is eaten quickly. Some candies attach potion effects, some beneficial and some harmful, and the details appear in the inventory tooltip.
The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for NeoForge only, with a single release, 1.1, for 1.20.1. Installation covers the server and each player's game. It was first published on 2023-10-07 and was last updated on the same date.
Key features
Mutually exclusive enchantments
Trick and Treat cannot be combined on one sword, so each weapon takes exactly one of the two effects.
Trick debuffs
The Trick enchantment applies a random set of vanilla debuffs on hit and occasionally plays unsettling sounds.
Candy drops
The Treat enchantment makes struck enemies drop magical candy chosen from a pool of candy types.
Candy effects
Eaten candy restores hunger and gives a small saturation boost, and some candies add potion effects with both good and bad results.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who run a 1.20.1 NeoForge world and want a themed sword enchantment with a candy reward. Server owners running a Halloween event may also add it, since it works on a multiplayer server when both sides have the mod.

Candy mod is for NeoForge 1.21.1 and is not open source; its license is All rights reserved. Snack Sticks is also for NeoForge 1.21.1 and is open source under the MIT License, with food items rather than enchantments. Tricks and Treats targets NeoForge 1.21.4 and is server-side only, so players join without installing anything.
