This system adds a new progression path tied to Wither Skeletons and destructive terrain clearing. Wither Skeletons now drop Wither Bones instead of normal bones, which can then be crafted into Wither Bonemeal at a rate of 1 bone to 3 bonemeal.

Wither Bonemeal is used to clear natural surface clutter in a 5×5 area. It removes blocks such as grass, flowers, bushes, vines, and leaves up to 3 blocks high, making it useful for fast terrain cleanup. It does not affect stone, wood, ores, or player-placed blocks.

Extreme environments now apply gradual survival pressure instead of relying only on visual temperature effects. Heat builds in deserts and other exposed hot biomes, cold affects snowy mountains and freezing regions, and depth pressure applies in deep ocean or extreme underwater areas.

Each pressure type begins after a short grace period, giving players time to react before the effects start building. The longer a player remains in that environment, the more the pressure escalates, leading to stronger negative effects over time.

This system expands farming with more control over crop growth and a few extra progression mechanics. Supported crops can now be growth locked using shears, preventing any further growth from random ticks or bonemeal.

Fully grown crops now grant a small amount of XP when harvested by hand, giving farming a more consistent peaceful progression path. Rabbits that eat fully grown carrots can also build breeding charge and may breed naturally over time.

The system also adds Poisonous Carrots and Poisonous Beetroots, which behave the same way as Poisonous Potatoes. These can be fed to baby animals to permanently stop them from maturing.

This system adds smaller behaviour changes to existing mobs to make survival feel more dynamic. Breeding two ocelots can now create a Trusted Ocelot, which can follow or sit, suppress hostile spawns in a small area, and lightly harass nearby mobs.

Foxes can now bury items they are holding in dirt or grass, creating a single stash without duplicating items. Dolphins fed with tropical fish will prioritise locating coral reefs before leading players to treasure, while Sniffers have a low chance to uncover rare plants, smithing templates, and pottery sherds.

A Silent Name Tag can also be created by renaming a name tag to “Silent”. Applying it to a mob silences its sounds and hides its nameplate, and renaming the tag again restores normal behaviour. Chickens and Parrots can now also be brushed for feathers, with a cooldown to prevent farming without limits.

This system expands horses beyond basic transport by adding progression, equipment upgrades, recall mechanics, and mounted combat utility. Players can bind a Recall Horn to the last tamed horse they rode, allowing that horse to be summoned back. Only one horse can be linked at a time, the horn has a cooldown, and it only works with horses the player owns.

Horses can now also equip Horseshoes in a dedicated gear slot. Each material provides different stat bonuses, giving horses a clearer upgrade path. Copper offers a small balanced boost, Iron improves speed and armour, Gold gives higher speed with lower durability, Diamond improves armour and jump stability, and Netherite provides the strongest overall upgrade.

Mounted combat has also been expanded. While sprinting at full speed, horses can trample mobs they collide with, dealing minor damage and knockback based on movement speed. In addition, Horse Armour can now be enchanted, with those effects applying only while mounted and never stacking with the player’s own armour effects.

The Fletching Table is now a functional workstation used for crafting potion-based arrows. Instead of being decorative only, it allows players to create custom arrow batches by combining arrows with potion inputs.

Arrows are processed in groups of 8, and up to 3 potions can be inserted at once to create mixed effects. The final arrow output scales with the strength and duration of the potions used, making stronger or longer-lasting potions more valuable in the crafting process.

Cauldrons now serve as multi-purpose utility blocks, acting as infusion stations, dye basins, washing units, environmental reactors, and slow-processing containers. Water can be infused with potions to create Infused Water, which carries potion effects, emits particles, and slowly decays over time unless bottled. Adding dye creates Dye Water, which changes the water’s colour and can be used to recolour items.

Cauldrons can also handle small-scale processing by combining 4 matching items into a block form, including Slime Balls into Slime Blocks, Magma Cream into Magma Blocks, and Honey Bottles into Honey Blocks. Their behaviour also reacts to the environment: water can freeze in cold biomes, evaporate in the Nether, and cauldrons can slowly fill from beehives placed two blocks above.

They also support washing, allowing players to remove dye from items such as armour, wool, terracotta, concrete, and banners. The removed colour is transferred into the cauldron water, letting it act as a reusable dye basin.

Slabs can now be placed vertically, giving more flexibility when building without adding extra block types. Placing a slab on the side of a block will create a vertical slab, while placing near the edge of the top or bottom face will align it to that side. Place the slab in the middle of a block will force it to lay down like a normal slab.

Vertical slabs can still combine into a full block when placed against each other from opposite sides, keeping behaviour consistent with normal slabs.

When crouching the slab rules revert back to normal slab placement rules.

Planks can now be placed with directional grain, allowing for more control when building floors, walls, and ceilings without adding new block types.

The orientation is determined by how you place the block. Placing on the top or bottom follows the direction you’re facing, while crouch-placing flips to the alternate rotation. Placing on a side face aligns the planks to that surface automatically.

This keeps building simple while giving you more intentional control over how wood patterns look.

Filled maps can now be cleared by washing them in a water cauldron. Right-clicking a filled map on a water cauldron will consume 1 water level and return it as an empty map.

This does not work on locked maps.
