Caveat
by GenMode
Caveat changes how several everyday blocks and actions behave in survival play, from beds and campfires to doors, anvils and path blocks.
What it does
Beds heal players who sleep in them, campfires regenerate health for players standing close to them, and path blocks give a speed boost to anyone walking on them. Doors placed together open as one when one of them is interacted with, and fire burns a player who mines a block with bare hands. Anvils can be repaired with iron nuggets, iron ingots or iron blocks, and the mod also expands how some entities behave.
Caveat requires Data API and Fabric API, so both must be installed next to it, and Data API is also needed on Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. The server must run the mod, while players may add it to their clients but do not need it to join. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 12 release versions, 1.17 – 1.20.2, under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source. Snapshot builds are not part of this listing.
Key features
Healing beds
Sleeping in a bed restores health, turning a night's rest into a way to recover between fights.
Regenerating campfires
Campfires restore health to nearby players, so a camp can double as a place to recover.
Repairable anvils
Anvils can be repaired with iron nuggets, iron ingots or iron blocks, which gives iron a use after the anvil wears down.
Linked doors
Doors that are placed together open and close as one when a player interacts with any of them.
Path blocks with speed
Walking on path blocks grants a speed boost, rewarding routes that players build between their bases.
Hazardous mining
Mining blocks with bare hands sets the player on fire, which changes how early-game resource gathering is done.

Use cases
Survival balance
Servers can use the healing beds and campfires to change how players recover, and the fire penalty to shape early mining.
Base building
Linked doors and speed paths suit players who design compact bases with routes between rooms.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want to change common survival mechanics, and players who run modded servers that already include Data API and Fabric API.
