About this Mod

Nooks and Crannies

Nooks and Crannies is mod aimed at enhancing the world while remaining close to vanilla.

Features

Nooks

Oak and birch nooks beside a pool of lava.
Nooks are small hollows in trees found all throughout your world. Look inside the opening and you might find something useful. Saplings, feathers, apples, and nuggets are common, but maybe you'll find something else too...

Loot from nooks replenishes over time.
A comparator will detect when a nook has items inside.

Each flavour of log has a corresponding nook which can be obtained with a Silk Touch tool. Nooks placed by the player will continue to produce items as if they were naturally generated.

Coming soon
