MiscTweaks
by pajic
MiscTweaks gathers a set of small gameplay adjustments, from creeper drops to Elytra water entry, that each apply on their own.
What it does
Most of the changes run on the server, so a server owner installs MiscTweaks and players join without it. Creeper explosions drop every destroyed item, and any music disc a creeper drops can turn up in loot chests. Berry bushes stop damaging players who sneak or wear leg or body armor, and armor slows less in them. Animals look for food items on the ground near them and eat them on their own. Obsidian-like blocks break faster, by 1.6x by default, and block drops can be made stable so they no longer fling sideways.
The client side adds per-dimension brightness and a hotbar raised from the bottom of the screen, which is disabled automatically when the Raised mod is installed. The shield held in the offhand is lowered while staying visible. Every tweak can be toggled and configured; on Fabric the in-game config opens through Mod Menu, on NeoForge through the built-in mod menu, and when Sodium is installed most client features appear in its video settings. The mod requires Fabric API and Fzzy Config. It is open source under the MIT License and has files for 1.20.1 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
Key features
Creeper drops
Explosions from creepers leave behind every item they destroy, and music discs can appear in loot chests.
Berry bush changes
Sneaking or wearing leg or body armor prevents bush damage, and armor reduces the slowing effect.
Faster obsidian mining
Obsidian-like blocks take less time to break, and other mods' blocks can be added to the configuration.
Stable block drops
Random sideways movement of block drops can be disabled, and crouching while breaking a block pulls its drops toward the player.
Elytra water entry
Flying into water with the Elytra starts swimming rather than continued flight underwater.
Per-dimension brightness
Brightness can be set separately for each dimension, on the client side.

Server-side: - Creeper explosions drop all destroyed items instead of only some of them - Berry bushes don't do any damage when sneaking or wearing leg or body armor - Berry bushes don't slow down entities as much when…
