Easy Survival Mod
by weiqumao
Easy Survival Mod is a Fabric quality-of-life mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that trims tedious survival tasks through a set of individually switchable features.
What it does
Keep Experience retains a player's XP level and progress after death, which vanilla keepInventory does not, since it normally clears XP. Auto-Smelt Ores turns iron, gold and copper ore into ingots at the point of mining, and only where the rule would otherwise demand a furnace; the Output Multiplier option sets each ore's yield anywhere from 1 to 5 ingots. Tree Chopper breaks one log and lets the whole tree fall, up to a configurable block limit.
Item Magnet pulls dropped items from up to 5 blocks away. Infinite Durability keeps tools from breaking and is disabled by default. Instant Eating removes the eating animation for quicker healing, and Auto Plant lets a player walk over farmland carrying seeds to plant them automatically. Each feature has its own toggle, a master switch enables or disables everything at once, and the press-Y settings screen opens the options.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code public. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and its Fabric file for 1.20.1 is version 0.2.0, published on 2026-01-31.
Key features
Keep experience on death
XP level and progress survive death, while the rest of the inventory follows normal vanilla rules.
Auto-smelt ores
Iron, gold and copper ore hand over ingots straight from the break, which only applies if a furnace would normally be part of the process, and the number of ingots per ore can be tuned.
Tree chopper
Breaking one log fells the whole tree, capped by a configurable block limit.
Item magnet and auto-plant
Dropped items within 5 blocks are pulled in, and walking over farmland with seeds plants them.

How it compares
Magnet Blocks is a Fabric mod for client and server under the MIT License, open source, published for 1.20.1, so it covers item attraction only. Keep XP on Death is a Fabric server-side only mod under CC0 1.0 Universal, open source, for 1.19.4 – 1.20.4, so players join it without installing anything. Auto Feed Animals is client-side only under CC0 1.0 Universal, open source, for 1.20 – 1.20.6, and changes nothing on the server.
