Tweaks

Armed Armor Stands

1.14+

Armor Stands placed by the Armor Stand item will have arms, you may also give them items. This isn't a thing by default in Java edition for some reason.

Automatic Recipe Unlock

1.14+

Every single recipe is unlocked and displayed in the recipe book as soon as you load a world.

If new recipes are added to the game via new mods added or updated, those will be unlocked when you get back in.

This feature is an exception to the general quark theme, but since you are using mods, it's fair to assume you don't need the game to spoon-feed you recipes.

Axe Leaf Harvesting

1.14+

Axes will break leaves as fast as Shears, but will not drop the leaf blocks. Normal drops such as saplings or apples will still drop.

Better Elytra Rockets

1.16.4+

Firework Rockets are able to be used to start Elytra flying, even if you're not currently in that state.

All you have to do is right click a Firework Rocket while wearing an Elytra, and you'll shoot up into the sky.

Campfires Boost Elytra

1.14+

When flying using an Elytra over a Campfire with a Hay Bale under it, the player will be propelled upwards slightly.

1.16.3+

Soul Campfires will have the opposite effect, pulling you quickly towards the ground.

Compasses Work Everywhere

1.14+

Compasses will now work in the Nether and the End.

• In the Nether, a compass will point to the portal you entered from, provided you had it on you when you did.
• In the End, a compass will point to the overworld portal.

As a bonus, Compasses and Clocks will not function until crafted to prevent cheesing with the recipe book.

If you prefer, this feature can be configured to only have the anti-cheese, and not the former points, or vice-versa.

Dirt To Path

1.14+

Right clicking dirt with a shovel will turn it into a path block, as everyone in the world hates having to wait for it to grow into grass first.

Double Door Opening

1.14+

Double doors open together when right clicked. Finally!

Dragon Scales

1.14+

When an Enderdragon that was spawned by the player (the natural spawned one does not count!) is killed, it will drop a Dragon Scale.

The scale can be combined with an Elytra to mold it, creating a new one. The old Elytra stays behind untouched.

Emotes

1.14+

In the corner of the Chat menu there's a button to open an emote panel with 12 different emotes your character can do. In this picture, you can see the "Wave" emote.

Each emote is also assigned a key binding. Pressing that key will do the emote without you having to open the chat menu. By default all emote keybinds are unset and must be set manually.

A special language is provided to allow for custom emotes to be made. Here's an example and a tutorial on how to do it.

Enhanced Ladders

1.14+

Ladders are slightly tweaked to improve your laddering experience:

• Right clicking a ladder with another one will place it, allowing you to drop ladders down without risking falling to your death.
• When on a ladder, looking down will make you slide down the ladder very quickly.

Glass Shards

1.14+

Glass now drops shards, crafting them in a 2x2 creates a Glass block back. The shards act like Glowstone Dust, in which Fortune will let you get more, and Silk Touch will just drop the block.

Stained Glass will naturally drop shards of the respective type. If you decide to mix multiple types of stained shards, you'll end up with a new block - Dirty Glass.

Hoe Harvesting

1.14+

Breaking grass or crops with a hoe will break a 3x3 of them. A Diamond Hoe will break a 5x5 instead. If you put Fortune on the hoe, it'll also apply that effect to everything it breaks.

Improved Sleeping

1.14+

Some tweaks are made to sleeping in multiplayer to improve the experience:

• If a player does not input any keystrokes or mouse clicks in interfaces for 2 minutes, they'll be marked as AFK. AFK players do not count towards the sleep vote.
• When a player enters a bed, that action and the amount of players sleeping is broadcast to the server. Hovering over the count will show which players are sleeping and which aren't yet.
• The percentage of players required for the day to turn over can be configured, defaulting to 100%.

Infinity Water Bucket

1.16+

Water Buckets can now be given Infinity through an Anvil. When enchanted like this, if they ever cease to be a water bucket (whether they catch a fish or release the water), they'll immediately revert back to a normal, full, water bucket.

Jukebox Automation

1.16.4+

Dispensers are now able to place discs into Jukeboxes.

This includes ambience discs.

Lava Bucket Trash

1.16.4+

Items can now be right clicked onto a Lava Bucket to destroy them forever. Shulker Boxes and items that are immune to fire (eg. Netherite) can not be destroyed this way.

Lock Rotation

1.14+

Pressing the K key (rebindable) will lock a rotation, and optionally a block half, if you're looking at a block. Any further blocks placed are changed to that direction, regardless of how you were facing when placing them. This can be very useful for building with blocks that have awkward rotation methods, such as stairs or pistons.

To unlock the rotation press the key again while looking in the same direction you locked in.

More Banner Layers

1.16.4+

The Loom is now able to handle 16 different patterns at once, increased from 6.

This is matching the creative limit.

Note Block Mob Sounds

1.14+

Note Blocks with heads attached to their side will emit the respective mob's sound instead of a note.

The mob sound's pitch is based on the note block pitch.

Pat The Dogs

1.14+

You can pat the dogs. Sneak-click them with an empty hand to perform this glorious act.

Poison Potato Usage

1.14+

Feeding a baby animal a Poisonous Potato has a chance to poison it for a few seconds. A baby animal that has been poisoned by this method will never grow into an adult.

Reacharound Placing

1.14+

Reacharound Placing allows you to place blocks behind the block you're looking at. This can be done either vertically or horizontally, provided you wouldn't be placing a block given normal rules.

• To do it vertically, sneak on the edge of a block and look at the area directly below it This is what the image is demonstrating. A   will appear around your crosshair if you do it properly.
• To do it horizontally (1.15+ only), look in front of a block, where the next block would be. A < > will appear around your crosshair for this one.

Scaffolding Substitution

1.15+

Right clicking on a Scaffold with a block will attempt to place the block at the end of the Scaffold chain. By default it'll turn direction once, so it can build blocks horizontally if you extend scaffolds that way.

If you wish to use the default behaviour of placing blocks on the scaffold, you can still do it with shift-right click.

Sign Editing

1.14+

Right clicking a sign now lets you edit it even after it's been placed.

Simple Harvest

1.14+

Right clicking a crop will harvest it and replant it. If you have Hoe Harvesting enabled, you can also harvest a large area at once.

Snow Golem Player Heads

1.14+

Named Snow Golems equipped with a Pumpkin will drop a player head with the same name as theirs, if killed by a Witch.

Protip: You can head over to Minecraft Heads to find some cool ones you can use with the names!

Springy Slime

1.14+

Slime Blocks will now bounce entities that hit them from the side rather than just the top. Furthermore, items will also bounce on them.

1.14+

A large assortment of new utility recipes are added to the game, as well as a few tweaks that help crafting in general.

Villagers Follow Emeralds

1.14+

Holding an Emerald Block causes nearby villagers to follow the player, much like animals do for food items.
