Description
Introduction
Ameliorate is a vanilla+ Add-on that aims to expand and improve existing features. Featuring new decorative and useful blocks, updated mob behavior, and quality of life improvements.
- This add-on is achievement friendly; it does not require experimental gameplay option to be enabled.
- Mob behavior tweaks introduced by this Add-on are likely to break farms of the affected mob.
- Ameliorate works best on the latest stable version of Bedrock Edition.
- It does not yet support vibrant visuals.
- Feel free to add compatibility to your add-ons.
- Please read the changelog of every published add-on build for the full list of changes.
Features
Blocks
Ameliorate adds a dozen blocks ranging from decorative to utility, the biggest family of which are the compressed block versions of items, serving to remedy inventory clutter and add new decorative possibilities. Some blocks possess special qualities that depend on the material they are made from.
Mob Tweaks
Applying appropriate behavior, compatibility, and tweaks to their AI.
Sample of changes:
1. Horses: Tamed and saddled horses (including donkeys and mules) now stay in place when unridden; mules can be equipped with armor and chests; collision box width reduced to 1.0 for easier navigation.
2. Villagers: Use new paths; certain jobs grant new abilities (e.g., clerics drink milk for negative effects, heal, and turn invisible in danger).
3. Illagers: Can now swim, open doors, avoid hazards (cactus, magma), alert other illagers, and detect threats within 32 blocks.
4. Wandering Trader: Trades include new blocks; reduced walk speed, increased mob fear detection; drinks milk for negative effects, and avoids farmland.
Recipes
Several changes were made to vanilla recipes to make crafting certain items more efficient and less expensive. In addition, alternative and new crafting recipes have been added.
Sample of changes:
1. Door - two instead of three
2. Trapdoor - four instead of three
3. Fence - eight instead of six
4. Ladder - eight instead of three
5. Chain - eight instead of one
6. Candle - four instead of one
7. Rail - sixty-four instead of sixteen
8. TNT - four instead of one
9. Arrow - eight instead of four
Interactions
New interactions have been added for easier terraforming and immersion. From easier pathmaking to block-projectile reactions.
Additions:
- Grass Paths can be turned into dirt by using a shovel, the same goes for the new paths added, just with their block counterpart.
2. Farmland can be reverted into dirt using a hoe or dirt.
3. Crimson Nylium, warped nylium, and their paths can be turned into netherrack using a hoe.
4. Using a water bottle, splash water bottle, or lingering water bottle on dry farmland will transform it into wet farmland.
5. Campfires can be extinguished with a thrown snowball or wind charge.
6. Gravel has a chance to turn into sand when struck by a wind charge (0.3 chance).
