Parched now spawn alongside husks in desert biomes, meaning there&#8217;s less space in the mob cap for husks to spawn, which would harm your sand rates. It&#8217;s been almost six weeks since 1.21.11 released, and none of those datapacks have updated to include the parched, so I decided to do it myself.*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Husks and Parched drop sand and red sand upon death, allowing them to be farmed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":56129,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"desert-monsters-drop-sand","_minecraft_project_id":"VUP1kLlv","_minecraft_author":"Duckified","_minecraft_license":"LicenseRef-All-Rights-Reserved","_minecraft_downloads":45,"_minecraft_follows":3,"_minecraft_client_side":"optional","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"desert-monsters-drop-sand.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":2735,"_minecraft_version_count":1,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T23:28:53.588852Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2026-01-21T02:04:51.044428Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-01-17T07:57:16.857651Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/desert-monsters-drop-sand","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":56129,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-03T02:34:04+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"3abad05d7eaf8cb440d2895a04397d31","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[84,89,137],"mod_loader":[86],"minecraft_version":[41],"class_list":["post-56128","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-datapack","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-mobs","mod_loader-datapack","minecraft_version-1-21-11"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
