About this Mod
A decorative mod with a few other immersive shenanigans.
Adds a new block called Shellstone - which can be turned into polished or tiles, new tuff variants, and some items similar to the Goat Horn.
Eventually, this will be an addon for an upcoming mod called Mineral Overhaul, a large expansive mod that upgrades Minecraft's mineral progression.
(NOTE: As of now, the owner of Mineral Overhaul has discontinued, so this project is standalone.)

Plays some familiar sounds
Can be used as an Armour Trim material for a sandy aesthetic.
Shell Template
The shell template can be used with Seashells to get a new design
Covering almost all of the armour, the Shell Template can only be used with Seashells. As otherwise, that could cause some issues with figuring out what other players wear.
Netherite Cutlass (Cosmetic)
The Netherite Cutlass Cosmetic Item can be obtained by crafting a Netherite Sword together with a Nautilus Shell.
However, it can also be right-clicked or shift-clicked to play a few sounds (works with shields). It has the same properties as the Netherite Sword.
