Minitweaks
With Minitweaks installed on a Carpet server, survival rules such as charged-creeper heads and blaze fireball control can be toggled in game.
What it does
Minitweaks is a Carpet extension that adds a set of small game mechanic changes, mainly aimed at survival. It needs Carpet to run, so Carpet must be installed on the server alongside it. Its rules are listed in game with the command carpet list minitweaks, which also shows whether each rule is enabled or disabled by default. Using the Carpet commands that change rules requires a permission level, and the mod is not a client-side feature.
Among the changes, mobs killed by a charged creeper can drop their heads instead of only one, the number of minutes before a dead player's items despawn can be set, blaze and ghast fireballs can be disabled, and dispensers can pick up mobs that can be bucketed. Server owners choose which rules to turn on. Minitweaks is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is published for Fabric, with 31 release versions covering 1.16.5 – 26.2 and the latest file 2.0.1 for 26.2, dated 2026-07-16.
Key features
Charged creeper heads
Mobs killed by a charged creeper can drop their heads, where vanilla gives only one drop.
Item despawn timer
A rule sets how many minutes a player's items remain on the ground after death before they despawn.
Fireball control
Blaze fireballs and ghast fireballs can each be disabled, with separate rules for each.
Dispensers pick up mobs
Dispensers can collect mobs that can be bucketed, so they can be moved without a player's help.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners running Carpet who want a few survival rule changes, with the rules set by permission-level commands rather than by editing files.
How it compares
Carpet Extra is also server-side only and open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, with files for 1.14.4 – 26.2. Carpet TIS Addition is open source under the same license and, unlike Minitweaks, works on either side, and neither side needs it, for 1.14.4 – 26.3. REMS-Carpet-Addition also works on either side and needs neither, but it is not open source and is licensed under a custom license, for 1.19.4 – 26.3.
