A Minor Convenience
by VertigoGX
A Minor Convenience lets players swap the contents of flower pots and paintings, cycle through painting variants, and read enchanted book names more clearly.
What it does
Holding a flower and right-clicking a flower pot exchanges the pot's flower for the one in hand. Sneaking while cycling goes the opposite way. Enchanted books that carry a single enchantment show that enchantment's name instead of the generic item name.
The mod fits survival and creative play alike. In Creative mode, touching the ground no longer cancels flight, matching the behavior of Bedrock Edition. Individual features are optional and can be turned off in the configuration, so players keep only the parts they want.
A Minor Convenience runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. Cleaner Menus and Unobtrusive Effects act on the client, while Game Tweaks acts on the server. The mod is published for Fabric only, across 13 release versions 1.21.4 – 26.3, and it is open source under the MIT License. Mod Menu is an optional dependency for in-game settings.
Key features
Flower pot swapping

Right-clicking while holding a painting moves to the following variant of identical dimensions, and crouching reverses the direction.
Single-enchantment book names
Enchanted books with one enchantment display that enchantment's name in place of the item name.
Bedrock-style flight

How it compares
SwapColumn is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 26.2 – 26.3, so it covers a narrower span than A Minor Convenience. PaintingsGUI is published for Fabric and runs on client and server, targeting 26.1.2 – 26.2, but it is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Paintings Need Glass is client-side only, open source under the MIT License and built for 1.21.11 alone.
