PackTweaker
by murphyneko
PackTweaker is a Forge mod for changing the settings of a modpack, with toggles for nether portal forming, sleeping and hunger.
What it does
Modpack makers can use PackTweaker to set custom values through a common config file, so one mod adjusts several rules of a pack without editing each mod separately. The mod gives a single place to switch vanilla behavior on or off for the whole pack.
Three of its toggles cover core survival rules: whether nether portals can be formed, whether a bed can be used to sleep, and whether the hunger system is active. Because the mod is client and server, the server and every player need it. Builds exist for 1.19.2, 1.19.3 and 1.19.4, with 1.1.1 for 1.19.4 as the latest file, and the code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so the source is open.
Key features
Nether portal toggle
A setting decides whether nether portals can be formed, letting a pack disable or keep portal creation.
Sleeping toggle
A setting decides whether players can sleep in a bed, which lets a pack turn off the sleep mechanic.
Hunger toggle
A setting turns the hunger system on or off, changing how food and health work for the pack.
Common config editing
Custom settings are read from a shared config, so a modpack's rules can be edited in one file.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Pack-wide rule changes
A modpack maker can change several survival rules at once, instead of tuning each mod's config.
Server owners
Server owners running a pack can apply the same toggles on the server, with every player running the mod too.
Who it’s for: Modpack authors who want to set survival rules across a whole pack, and server owners who run such a pack with a shared configuration.
How it compares
HealerBed is a Forge mod for 1.10.2 that is client and server and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, but it is built for a different purpose and targets an older version. Sleeping Overhaul 2 covers sleeping for Forge and NeoForge across 1.18.2 – 1.21.1, is client and server, and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. HungerKeep is for 1.16.5, works on a client or server as an optional install, and is not open source.
