Geos VQoL Mod
by Ghost
Geos VQoL Mod is a Fabric server mod that changes a handful of vanilla behaviors, such as void falls, chest graves, bow looting and anvil costs, through a configuration file.
What it does
Each change is a small adjustment to an existing vanilla system rather than a new block or item set. Void Traveling lets players fall into the void and return safely, Chest Graves place a player's items in a chest on death, Looting Bows add the looting enchantment to bows, and anvil costs stay constant with enchantment rarity taken into account. Renamed items also drop the default italic style so names read as typed.
The mod is built with servers in mind and runs server-side only, so players join without installing anything. Operators can use a status command to see which features are enabled or disabled, and a reload command to apply changes to the config file without restarting. A default configuration file is included in case a setting needs to be reset.
Fabric API is required, and the mod is published for Fabric on 1.20 and 1.20.1, with 1.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Void traveling
Items and players that fall into the void are handled by a configurable path instead of being lost.
Chest graves
On death, a player's items are stored in a chest at the place of death, which helps when items would otherwise fall into the void.
Looting bows
Bows gain the looting enchantment effect, so mobs killed with arrows can drop more loot.
Constant anvil cost
Anvil costs are calculated from enchantment rarity and stay constant rather than growing with repeated use.
Non-italic renamed items
Items renamed on an anvil display their custom name without the default italic formatting.
Status and reload commands
An operator command reports which features are enabled, and a reload argument applies config file changes on the fly.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners and operators who want a few vanilla mechanics changed on a Fabric server. Players need nothing installed on their side.
How it compares
Anvils Resounded is a client-side only Fabric mod under the MIT License, for 1.20.1, so it changes sounds and nothing on the server. Infinite Anvil Uses is a client and server Fabric mod for 1.20.1 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so every player needs it, and it removes anvil use limits instead of changing costs. Geos VQoL Mod requires only the server.
