MineTweaks
by GDavid
MineTweaks changes a set of vanilla blocks and items so they behave in new ways, with the goal of keeping the original feel of the game.
What it does
Splash potions with harming, poison or wither effects can kill grass and turn mycelium, dirt or coarse dirt into other blocks when they shatter. Campfires set nearby mobs on fire, and stonecutters deal damage to mobs that stand against them. Redstone ore lights up when it receives a redstone signal of power 8 and produces redstone in return.
Arrows and tridents can toggle levers when they hit them, and sticks increase the reach distance of the player. Hoppers pick up arrows and tridents from the world. The mod is described by its author as a small addition meant to enhance the game while keeping the vanilla feel, and it adds no new items or dimensions.
MineTweaks requires Fabric API on both loaders it supports, Fabric and Forge. Its files cover 1.16.3 – 1.19.4 and are released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so the source code is open and public. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.

How it compares
Campfire Fix is a Fabric and Forge mod for 1.20.1 that is server required with client optional, under All rights reserved and not open source, so it covers a different campfire behaviour. Mycelium Craft is a server required mod with client optional, published for 1.21 – 26.2 on four loaders and not open source. Analog Redstone Lamp is open source under the MIT License, runs client and server on 1.21.2 – 1.21.11 and changes redstone lamps rather than ore.
