📜 Essence

Create: Cardboard Things is strange addon that adds 9 cardboard-themed items inspired by the original Cardboard Sword from Create. Each item comes with its own unusual, sometimes surprising behavior. In this mod, cardboard isn’t just a meme — it’s a mechanic.

🎯 Features

Cardboard Elytra – infinite while flying, instantly breaks when you land.
Cardboard Arrow – deals no direct damage but launches targets across blocks.
Cardboard Pickaxe – slow and weak, but unbreakable — perfect for farms or "best friend".
Cardboard Ball – doesn’t knockback, but deals real damage (cardboard’s tougher than it looks).
Cardboard Rocket – used only for Elytra boost.
Cardboard Saddle – a frame for a future saddle.
Cardboard Totem – saves you from death and lets you quickly escape or leap away.
Cardboard Ingot – ever felt like the Cardboard Sword from Create doesn't knock back hard enough? this ingot upgrades that experience on an anvil.
Cardboard Shears – mysterious. Why do they exist? Try them and see.

📝 Description

This mod is a set of experimental items that look weak or silly but hide useful — and sometimes chaotic — mechanics. It started from a simple question: what if more cardboard tools had special logic, like the Cardboard Sword?

The Elytra lets you fly freely, but only once. The arrow does no harm… unless being sent flying counts. The totem? It doesn’t just save your life — it gives you a shot at running for it.
It’s a mod that doesn't take itself too seriously but still fits surprisingly well in gameplay. Small tools, big consequences.

Huge thanks to the Create team — this mod wouldn’t exist without their Cardboard Sword. That one clever idea turned into something of its own.
Special thanks to Skff1 for the Russian language support ❤️

🗒️ Notes

The idea started simply: make more items with "hidden" mechanics like Cardboard Sword. That’s where the arrow and the trident concepts came from.
Sadly, the Cardboard Trident isn’t in yet — it didn’t work as planned. But maybe in the future.
This mod isn’t about balance — it’s about fun. And maybe a bit of cardboard chaos.
