Overview

This mod adds Wax Brushes, which can be crafted from a Brush and some Honeycomb. They offer a helpful visual overlay when used to wax blocks, like Create's Super Glue.

The mod also includes a built-in resource pack and datapack that tweaks Super Glue from Create, turning it into a Glue Brush that can be crafted from a Brush and some Slimeballs.

This mod's features were originally implemented in Raspberry Flavoured, via a truly mystifying pair of KubeJS scripts by asof. The port to a standalone Forge 1.20.1 mod was done by evanbones and DavigJ. The original sprites for the Glue/Wax Brushes were done by noelle, with new vanilla-esque textures provided by Kayla_the_Bee.
