MK Drinks
A mod about pop, pop bottles, and making cool stuff with them.
About this Mod

To begin, craft a Crucible, using four bricks, one iron ingot, a furnace, and three cobblestone (See JEI for recipe shape.) This block, which must be placed over a campfire to function, is the heart of MKDrinks, and will let you forge sand into specialty glass for making drinks.
MK Drinks is built on Java for Minecraft 1.16.5 via Forge. A Fabric version may become available when and if I learn how to port mods to Fabric and have the time to do so. MK Drinks will not be backported to previous versions of Minecraft but will hopefully be updated for future versions, likely starting with 1.18. Please feel free to contact me with bug reports if you encounter any issues; my ability to quality-test my mods is limited as a solo developer, so bug reports are always handy.
