Pixel Carpet
Pixel Carpet is a Fabric extension for Carpet Mod that adds small, mostly survival-related game mechanic changes, and a rule list that players can browse in-game.
What it does
Pixel Carpet builds on Carpet, which is required, and adds its own rules on top of it. Players can list every Pixel Carpet rule in-game with the carpet list pixel command, and the list points to the project's source on GitHub. Several rules are disabled by default and have to be turned on through Carpet.
The rules change specific survival behavior: they block travel through the End Portal and the Nether Portal, let leads attach to more mobs, make cobbled deepslate turn falling anvils into gravel, and stop snow and ice from melting. Carpet Extra and Minitweaks are optional companions that can be added alongside it.
Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21 – 26.3 with 16 release versions, and the latest file is 1.9 for 26.3. Either side can run it alone, and both sides can run it together. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
In-game rule list
The carpet list pixel command shows every Pixel Carpet rule, so server owners can check the current settings without opening a file.
Portal restrictions
Rules can stop players from entering the End Portal or the Nether Portal, which changes how far a survival world can be explored.
Mob leads
A rule lets leads attach to more mobs than vanilla allows.
Weather-blocking rules
Snow and ice can be kept from melting, so builds in cold biomes stay intact.
Anvil and gravel rule
Falling anvils that land on cobbled deepslate turn it into gravel, a change some players want for survival builds.

How it compares
Carpet Ice Addition is server-side only, open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, and covers 1.21 – 26.3 on Fabric. Carpet Aji Addition is also server-side only and open source under the MIT License for the same range. Pixel Carpet needs a client or server choice, while these two only run on the server.
