Abacus

1.16.4+

Right clicking a block will bind the Abacus to it. After that, it will count the distance between the targeted and hovered block, measured along right angles.

The Abacus will count up to 48 blocks, drawing an outline of the counted blocks. The texture of the item will change according to how many blocks are counted. Right click again to unbind.

Ambience Discs

1.16.4+

A variety of 8 discs that add a wide range of ambient sound to the game. When you insert them into a Jukebox, they loop infinitely, and do not display on the UI when played.

The following sounds are available:

• Water Droplets
• Ocean Waves
• Rainy Mood
• Heavy Wind
• Soothing Cinders
• Tick-Tock
• Cricket Song
• Packed Venue

Ambience Discs are acquired when a Skeleton kills a Spider.

Ancient Tomes

1.14+

Ancient Tomes are a rare loot item from dungeons and stronghold libraries, being usable to upgrade enchantments.

1.16.5+

Combining an Ancient Tome in an Anvil with an item containing that enchantment will increase its level by one, up to one over the cap (e.g. Looting IV).

Pre 1.16.5

They come only in the highest level of an enchantment and can be combined with an Enchanted Book of the same enchantment to create one that's a level higher than the max. This costs 35 levels to create the book and an extra 35 to apply it.

Bottled Cloud

1.15+

Using a Glass Bottle at the cloud levels (126-132 by default) will get you a Bottled Cloud.

The Bottled Cloud can be right clicked to produce a block floating in midair in front of you. The cloud block disappears after a few seconds, but you can right click it with any other block to replace the two. The cloud will go back in the bottle when you do this.

Colored Runes

1.14+

Colored Runes are a rare loot item from dungeons, temples and nether fortresses. They can be applied to enchanted items and lodestone compasses in an anvil, in order to change the color of the enchantment glint from purple to the color of the rune. These come in all 16 colors of the spectrum.

If you're dedicated enough, you can craft a Rainbow Rune by mixing together the runes that make the colors of the rainbow. It'll change color over time and look really cool!

1.16.4+

Colored Runes will no longer spawn in chests. Instead, you'll find Blank Runes.

Pathfinder Maps

1.14+

Cartographer Villagers will now sell Pathfinder Maps, new maps that will take you to certain biomes. Each Cartographer will stock a random assortment of them, and the possible trades are as follows by default:

• Apprentice (Expert in 1.16+): Snowy Tundra, Mountains, Dark Forest, Desert, Savanna
• Journeyman (Master in 1.16+): Swamp, Giant Tree Taiga, Flower Forest
• Expert: Jungle, Bamboo Jungle, Badlands
• Master: Mushroom Fields, Ice Spikes

If you're using mods that add more biomes, more maps can be added in the config file.

Pickarang

1.14+

A new tool for mining! The pickarang is a boomerang pickaxe - throw it, it breaks whatever it hits, and comes back to you with the drops.

The Pickarang is crafted with a Heart of Diamond (from Stonelings, in the Mobs category, or just diamonds if it's disabled), and can be enchanted with Efficiency, Unbreaking, Fortune, Silk Touch, and Piercing.

Seed Pouch

1.16.3+

The Seed Pouch is a new utility item that can store up to 10 stacks of any type of seed in it. To add seeds to the seed pouch, grab the seed you want to add in your inventory, and right click it onto the pouch. You can then right click the pouch to take a stack of seeds out.

There's also a small set of utility features included:

• Right clicking the pouch onto farmable soil will plant the seed. Shift-right clicking plants a 3x3.
• Holding the seed pouch in either hand will have picked up seeds of that type go directly in the bag.
• If the Usage Ticker feature is enabled, it'll show how many seeds you have left.

Skull Pikes

1.16.3+

Setting a Skeleton Skull, Zombie Head, or Creeper Head over a fence, as shown in the image, will create a skull pike. Nearby monsters in a 5 block range and with line of sight will notice it, and run away in cowardice.

Note that bosses and raiders are slightly more astute, and won't fall for your tricks. Additionally, everyone knows Wither Skeletons drop their heads all the time, and Dragon Heads are all cheap fakes, so those won't work either.

Slime Bucket

1.14+

Right clicking a tiny slime with a bucket puts it in there. It remains quiet, but will start jumping inside the bucket if you find yourself in a slime chunk.

The slime can also be deployed back into the world by right clicking on a block. You can also use it as a replacement for slimeballs. You monster.

Trowel

1.14+

A Trowel tool can be crafted with Iron and Sticks. The Trowel, when right clicked, will place a random block from your hotbar, making it useful for ruins or paths.

A Trowel will break after placing 256 blocks, or four stacks.
