by HLStudios

HLSubstance is a quality-of-life decoration and utility mod with tents, reusable smithing templates and assorted features in a vanilla-like style.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

Tents let a player set up camp and sleep through the night. Placing a tent sets a temporary spawn point, and once the tent is broken the spawn point reverts to the player's bed. The mod also changes smithing templates so they are not consumed when upgrading gear, which avoids having to keep duplicate templates on hand.

HLSubstance is described by its author as a companion to the HLStuff modpack and as a set of quality-of-life additions. More features are planned, and the mod is open source under the MIT License. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and files are published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1.

Key features

  1. Camp tents

    Tents can be placed to set up camp, allow sleeping through the night and provide a temporary spawn point.

  2. Spawn point reversion

    When a tent is broken, the player's spawn point returns to their bed.

  3. Reusable smithing templates

    Smithing templates are not consumed during upgrades, so no duplicate copies are needed.

  4. Quality-of-life additions

    Miscellaneous features in a vanilla-like style round out the mod, with more planned by the author.
