Description


Crooked Crooks is a mod that adds its own take on a classic from Ex Nihilo (and its many successors): the crook! Our crooks not only has the classic property of multiplying drops from leaves, but also applies it to grass, has the ability to pull mobs, and also herds sheep!
A wooden crook can be crafted with four sticks in a crafting table as shown in the image below:

With that same template, you can also craft stone crooks with cobblestone, bone crooks with bones, and iron crooks with iron ingots! The exact recipes can be seen on the gallery.
Dependencies
As of 1.21.4, this mod requires only the Fabric API to be installed. As for the loader, the Fabric Loader, as well as the Quilt Loader, are available.
As of Crooked Crooks 4.0.0, this mod is fully compatible with NeoForge with no extra dependencies.
Configuration
Currently, this mod has one config option that allows for disabling the Shepherd's Touch effect (and sheep herding as a consequence). It may be disabled by dragging and drop the shepherds_touch.txt file to the disabled folder inside of the .minecraft/config/crooked_crooks folder.
A demonstration of the config system may be seen on this video.
Besides that, it is possible to customize which blocks should have their drops multiplied by a crook through either the #crooked_crooks:multiplies_drops block tag (Fabric, always multiplies by 3) or through the crooked_crooks:multiplies_drops data map (NeoForge, custom multiplier).
The block tag used to determine which blocks are breakable by the crook is #crooked_crooks:mineable_with_crook.
