PED Tweaks
PED Tweaks, a Forge data pack for 1.20.1, adds extra crafting recipes, custom music, loot tables for mobs and a few quality-of-life functions built from mcfunctions.
What it does
The data pack adds crafting recipes that combine base game items with items from other mods, so players can craft pieces that vanilla recipes do not offer. Its recipes are written to work alongside modded crafting entries, which makes it useful in packs that already have many added items.
Beyond crafting, the pack adds custom music through the Immersive Melodies resource, loot tables for mobs that drop nothing by default, a chainmail armor set, and crying obsidian. Quality-of-life functions run as mcfunctions, so they act on the world through commands and need no extra client code.
Because the pack loads as a data pack, it needs no mod loader beyond Forge and no additional mod. The server must run it, while players may leave it out. Files are published for 1.20 and 1.20.1, with 1.4 for 1.20.1 as the latest release, and the project is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Extra crafting recipes
New recipes take base game items and modded items as ingredients, adding craft paths that the vanilla game does not include.
Custom music
Music tracks from Immersive Melodies are added to the game, so the soundtrack changes in places the pack covers.
Mob loot tables
Mobs that normally drop nothing get loot tables, so killing them can yield items.
Chainmail armor and crying obsidian
Chainmail armor pieces and crying obsidian are added as items for crafting and decoration.

Who it’s for: Server owners and pack makers running Forge 1.20.1 who want extra recipes, drops and music without a client mod.
