About this Mod
This very simple mod adds a few iconic items from iconic country Scotland! From famous foods to popular plants, this mod lets you include a bit of highland flavour to your minecraft world. Some items can be found through a wandering trader and some can be crafted just from regular vanilla items like potatoes.
This mod is a loving passion project to the home country of its developer filled with silly references and fun items. I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it.
