Improving Minecraft Fork

by angleric

Improving Minecraft Fork is a Forge mod for 1.12.2 that adds random mob effects, reversible crafting, bonemeal uses and new tools and armor tiers.

ForgeClient and serverMIT License1.7.2 – 1.12.2

What it does

Some wild animals spawn with random effects, and certain mobs carry new items, drops or enchantments. Creepers can spawn charged, and skeletons and other mobs can gain random potion effects, with the spawn probability set in the config. Chickens lay feathers at a configurable frequency, and pigs breed with apples, melons and bread.

Bonemeal is extended to cactus, sugar cane and lily pads, and one application usually grows a tree. Gunpowder, magma cream, blaze powder and nether wart also work as fertilizers. Crafting covers much more ground: ice can be made from water and snow, metal blocks can be smelted back into ingots, and iron doors, cauldrons and minecarts return a few ingots. Undamaged iron chainmail and gold armor also give back some ingots when smelted.

Mining TNT no longer destroys the items it would drop, while the explosion radius is wider. Adamantium ore needs an iron pickaxe and opens a new tier of tools and armor between iron and diamond. The mod is Forge-only and is released under the MIT License, so it is not open source. Client and server both need the mod, and the latest file is for 1.12.2.

Key features

  1. Random mob effects

    Mobs spawn with random effects, items, drops or enchantments, with the probability adjustable in the config.

  2. Extended bonemeal

    Bonemeal grows cactus, sugar cane and lily pads, and gunpowder, blaze powder and nether wart can also fertilize.

  3. Obsidian sword

    A craftable obsidian sword lasts 1250 uses, hits a bit harder than iron and can inflict the Wither effect on a target.

  4. Flint and knife tools

    Small flint tools and a Hunting Knife are added, with wooden-style tools that attack faster and break blocks slightly quicker.
