OthouMod
by Augma
OthouMod is a Fabric quality-of-life mod for survival play, adding small conveniences that the author wrote for personal use before sharing it.
What it does
Several of its features target common annoyances in survival worlds. Endermen are kept from picking up blocks, so the world is not gradually altered. Chests, barrels and other containers can be opened through item frames, and villagers can be leashed. A day counter appears in the top-left corner of the screen, so the in-game day is visible without a clock or command.
The mod also includes two keybound shortcuts. One runs a compact command from the world view, and the other uses the item under the cursor while the inventory is open. Because it is client and server, the server and every player need it. It requires Fabric API, and files are published for 1.21.5 and 1.21.11, with the latest Fabric file at 3.0 for 1.21.11. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the code is released under the Apache License 2.0.
Key features
Enderman grief prevention
Endermen are stopped from picking up blocks, which keeps builds and terrain from being slowly removed.
Item frame container access
Chests and barrels can be opened through an item frame, so storage can be reached from a wall without standing beside it.
Villager leashing
Villagers can be attached to a lead, making it easier to move them between rooms or into a trading hall.
Day count display
The current in-game day is shown in the top-left corner of the screen at all times.
Keybound shortcuts
One key runs a compact command from the world view, and another uses the hovered item from the inventory screen.

How it compares
Screen String is client-side only and not open source, with files for 1.21.8 – 1.21.9 and All rights reserved. Day Count is also client-side only and under the MIT License, but it covers 1.19 – 1.21.11 and only shows the day. PerplexedClientUtils is client-side only and open source under the MIT License for 1.21.4 – 1.21.11, offering a wider set of client tools. Nifty! is client and server, not open source, and covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, so it matches OthouMod's environment with a broader version range.
