Pam’s Desert Craft Mod provides you with three new sets of tools (cactus – wood, sandstone – stone, and glass steel – gold), a new armor set (cactus – leather), sixteen desert-themed plants. Especially, these plants only spawn in desert biomes, glass steel ingots (made from eight glass and one iron to make four), a glass steel window which resists explosions, and a recipe to turn cactus blocks into planks.
With all features mentioned before, you will be satisfied with this mod, I think.
