Changelog — Vanilla Quality of Life

[1.3.1] - 2026-10-15

Balance & Compatibility Update

• Mob Head Drops Balanced: Standardized mob head drops (Zombie, Skeleton, Creeper, Piglin, Wither Skeleton, Ender Dragon, PvP Player) to a balanced 1.0% base drop chance (+0.5% per Looting level up to 2.5% max at Looting III).
• Wandering Trader Collector Head Trades: Adjusted head trade offering probability to a rare 2% spawn rate in collector trade pools, priced at 1 Diamond Block + 16 Emeralds per head.
• Shulker Shell Drop Rate: Adjusted Shulker Shell drops to 1 to 2 shells (yielding 2 to 3 with Looting enchantments).
• Boss Leashing Immunity: Removed leashing capability from the Warden, Wither, and Ender Dragon to maintain boss encounter integrity while preserving universal leashing on all 98 standard entities.
• Tree Capitator House Protection: Integrated intelligent leaf canopy detection (isTreeCanopy), requiring leaf, wart, or shroomlight adjacency within the tree structure to prevent accidental felling of wooden log cabins or player builds.
• Domino Ore Miner Ancient Debris Cap: Capped contiguous Ancient Debris chain mining to a maximum of 4 blocks (MAX_ANCIENT_DEBRIS_CLUSTER_SIZE: 4) to preserve Netherite vein discovery balance.
• Durability Safety Guard Threshold: Tuned durability safety guard threshold from 5 to 1 durability point, giving players maximum tool usage before emergency protection activates.
• Stonecutter Woodcutter All 12 Woods: Added full Stonecutter recipe support for Pale Oak (Logs to Planks, Slabs, Stairs, Fences, Fence Gates, and Trapdoors), completing support for all 12 wood variants in Minecraft Bedrock.
• Standalone BP Compatibility: Decoupled the Resource Pack UUID dependency from behavior_pack/manifest.json, allowing the Behavior Pack (.mcpack) to run independently without "missing pack" warnings, while still bundling seamlessly in the .mcaddon.
