Global Tweaks
by gobies
Global Tweaks is a Forge management mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that bundles a set of gameplay tweaks, fixes and compatibility changes to vanilla and several other mods.
What it does
The mod changes a number of vanilla behaviors and adds configurable options. Lightning can destroy items on impact, fire resistance and creative mode stop entities from catching fire, and players can hit entities through grass without breaking it. Instant health potions heal by the equivalent amount of instant damage, and advancements can be turned off entirely. Crossbows can take bow enchantments, and tree punching and physics are adjusted for dynamic trees, where sticks may drop from leaves at a configured chance.
The mod also covers many other mods, with fixes for Ice and Fire dragon armor values and dragon breath immunity, Spartan Weaponry and Spartan Fire weapon tooltips and enchantment glow, and compatibility with Locks! so locked chests stay locked when picked up and do not anger golems. Friendly fire can be enabled so players cannot harm tamed creatures. Global Tweaks requires Forge and is published for 1.20.1 only, with its latest file, 0.7.6.1, dated 2026-09-01 on the beta channel. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and runs on the client or the server, so neither side needs it.
