Cinch's Sandy Catacombs
Sand is made fully farmable through the use of classic mob grinders for husks!

About this Mod
This is a very vanilla friendly mod that makes sand fully farmable by adding two new features:
- Husks drop sand upon death.
- The Desert Catacombs structure. This is a very large mostly underground structure found in deserts and badlands that contains husk spawners.
Using these two new features players are able to make classic mob grinders but for husks. And since husks now drop sand, sand is now fully farmable and renewable.
But even if you don't care about farming sand this is still a great mod to use for vanilla+ players since the new structure is of such high quality, and designed to be a fun challenge filled with balanced loot. The Desert Catacombs is a jigsaw structure, meaning everytime you find one it will be unique.
Feel free to use this mod in any modpack!
