Chaotic Tweaks
by Dakuro
Chaotic Tweaks changes how cauldrons, dispensers, pressure plates, wooden and metal trapdoors, and piglin behavior work in Fabric survival worlds, with server-side rules only.
What it does
Cauldrons get their own rules: an empty bucket can only be filled from an empty cauldron, and a cauldron that is already full will not accept a bucket. A bucket of liquid replaces whatever the cauldron holds, and a water bottle adds one water level where vanilla rules differ. Glass bottles empty a single level of water.
Other tweaks rebalance redstone and mining. Pressure plates and wooden trapdoors respond to larger signal changes, and metal trapdoors need six signal values where vanilla uses two. Piglin brutes stay angry no matter what, and piglins keep attacking players who open a bastion chest and collect gold. The mod is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.10, under the MIT License. It is not open source.
Key features

Pressure plate signals
Pressure plates send a stronger redstone signal, four instead of one.
Metal trapdoor signals
Metal trapdoors send six signal values instead of two, and wooden trapdoors send a stronger signal too.

NOTE: Piglin Brutes will still be angry at you no matter what, and Piglins will still attack you if you're in their bastion, or open their chests, or mine gold.
