Enhanced
Enhanced is a data pack that changes some vanilla recipes, loot tables and game mechanics, and it needs a server to run.
What it does
The data pack adds a small set of new crafting recipes and changes some existing ones, including uncrafting certain blocks, a shorter furnace duration and tweaks to bundles, stonecutter recipes and wood blocks. Several loot tables are altered so that some mobs drop a little more experience and an item or two more than before, and exploring yields slightly better results overall. Chains can be crafted into lead with a recipe the pack adds.
The pack keeps vanilla gameplay close to the original, so most of the game is left as it is and the changes mainly tweak features that already exist. Action bars display information while holding certain items, such as clocks and compasses. It is multiplayer-friendly and can be run on a server for players to share. Server owners install it as a data pack, and clients need nothing extra. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt for 1.20.2, and the release covers 1.20 – 1.20.3 under the MIT License, which does not make it open source.

How it compares
Summoner Scrolls is open source under the GNU General Public License v2.0 only and runs on both client and server for 1.20.1, so both sides need it. Enhanced is server required with the client optional, and its license is the MIT License without open source status.
