What it does

Seven new citrus fruits make up the core of the mod, and they are used to brew new drinks. The citrus tree type brings its own wood set, so the trees can be used for building as well as for farming. Two new workstations handle the processing, and a Citrus Bird pet joins the list of companions.

The mod is installed on NeoForge only and works on 1.21.1. Client and server both need it, so every player on a server that runs it needs the mod installed. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the project has a source code repository, an issue tracker and a wiki for reference.
