Better With Features
by alexalabai
Better With Features adds a set of quality-of-life tweaks to Better than Adventure beta builds, mostly for players coming from modern Minecraft.
What it does
The mod targets technical gaps that remain between the Babric beta port and later releases. Double tapping the space key starts flying, F3 combined with F4 switches game modes, and F3 combined with C copies the player's coordinates to the clipboard. Holding F3 and C together may also leave the game faster, according to the author.
Mobs keep tracking creative and spectator players rather than ignoring them, and the arrow keys move through command suggestions before message history. Most of these behaviors can be turned off in the client settings, since the author made the features configurable. The mod is published as a Babric build for b1.7.3 only, under the MIT License, and its source code is public.
A required dependency must be installed alongside it. Since the environment is client required and server optional, a player needs the mod, while a server may run without it or add it for the same features on its side. Snapshot builds are published for the same single game version.
Key features
Double space flying
Tapping the space key twice toggles flight, bringing a modern control from later releases to beta builds.
Game mode switch
Pressing F3 and F4 together switches between survival, creative and spectator modes without typing a command.
Coordinate copy
F3 and C together copy the player's current coordinates to the clipboard for pasting elsewhere.
Command suggestion keys
The arrow keys move through command suggestions first, instead of scrolling through chat history.
Requirements

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who play Better than Adventure on b1.7.3 and want familiar controls from newer versions. Server owners can run it as an optional addition, since the server does not need it.
How it compares
Blueprints BTA is a client-side only mod for b1.7.3 under the MIT License, so it covers different ground and players install it alone. Better With StepItUp is also client-side only, licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and is not open source. Better With Features is open source, while Blueprints BTA is not.
