More Realism (MR)
More Realism changes how horses, meat and some mobs behave, so a survival world feels less like the default settings.
What it does
The mod reworks mobs and items to make the world feel more realistic. Horses can be harvested for Raw Horse Meat, which cooks into Cooked Horse Meat. Mobs gain a custom loot table that is combined with some vanilla loot, and the project also covers items and entities in the world.
Some creatures are changed to suit the scenario: certain mobs notice and attack a player within an 8-block radius, many are much weaker, slower and have only half the usual health, and falls from a height do not cause fall damage. Installation requires More Realism RP. The server needs the mod, while clients may leave it out. It is released under the MIT License, which is not open source, for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.21 – 1.21.11.
