Description

A bundle of small changes that make survival a bit less fiddly without changing what Minecraft feels like: a pedestal to show off your gear, hoes that clear a whole patch of crops, spawners you can pick up with Silk Touch, seven new enchantments, and a handful of recipes and tweaks. Everything can be turned off on its own.

Unofficial 1.21.1 port of VanillaTweaks by StrikerRocker, for NeoForge. Please report bugs here.

Pedestals with a trident, a diamond sword and a totem, with charcoal, flint and sugar blocks behind

Blocks and items

  • Pedestal. Right-click with an item to put it on display, right-click with an empty hand to take it back, sneak-right-click to open its slot. Hoppers can feed it.
  • Charcoal, flint and sugar blocks. Nine into one and back. A charcoal block burns as long as a coal block.
  • Dynamite. Weaker TNT you can throw, or fire from a dispenser. If it has been in water it drops back as an item instead of going off.
  • Crafting Pad. A crafting table that fits in your pocket.
  • Slime Bucket. Right-click to see whether you're standing in a slime chunk.
  • Fried Egg. Cook an egg in a furnace or smoker.

Tweaks

  • Hoes work like sickles: breaking a crop also harvests the ones around it (3×3 for most hoes, 5×5 for diamond, 7×7 for netherite).
  • Mine a spawner with Silk Touch to pick it up, mob and all.
  • Named mobs drop their name tag when you kill them, and you can shear a name tag off a living mob.
  • Sneak-right-click an armor stand to swap your armor with it.
  • Sneak-right-click an item frame to turn the item backwards.
  • TNT next to lava or a magma block goes off on its own.
  • Flaming arrows set the block they hit on fire.
  • Creepers and baby zombies burn in daylight.
  • Bats can drop leather.
  • Saplings and other plants dropped on the ground plant themselves after a few seconds.
  • Wolves, foxes and ocelots don't leave meat behind when they hunt.
  • No hidden lava springs in the Nether.
  • Bee nests and beehives show their bees and honey level in the advanced tooltip (F3+H).

Enchantments

They show up in the enchanting table, in loot and from librarians, like vanilla ones.

  • Blazing (mining tools): smelts what you mine.
  • Siphon (mining tools): drops go straight into your inventory.
  • Homing (bows): arrows curve towards the mob you're aiming near, and that mob glows while you draw.
  • Veteran (helmets): pulls nearby experience orbs to you.
  • Vigor (chestplates): more max health.
  • Nimble (boots): faster walking.
  • Hops (boots): higher jumps.

Recipes

Easier recipes for chests (four from eight logs), trapped chests, repeaters and name tags, plus wool back into string.

Config

Everything is in config/vanillatweaks-common.toml, one switch per feature, plus dynamite power and cooldown, bat leather chance and the self-planting delay and blacklist. Turning an enchantment, block or recipe off takes effect after a restart.

FAQ

Client or server? Both. Install it on the server and on every client.

Does it need anything else? No.

Can I use it in my modpack? Yes, go ahead, no need to ask.
