More Powerful Game Rules
by Lothrazar
More Powerful Game Rules adds more than 49 gamerule options that a world can set when it is created, covering breaking changes such as disabled hunger and disabled gravity for sand and gravel.
What it does
Most of the added rules are switched on by default, and several of them change core behavior: players no longer lose hunger, critical hits deal only normal damage, and crops and saplings stop growing. The rules are chosen in the Create New World menu, so a world is configured before play begins. The rules cover Bedrock parity options, such as whether TNT explodes after activation, and features that disable mobs, villagers and trading.
The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 26.1.2, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It requires FLIB, which must be installed alongside it. Forge files exist for 1.20.1, and NeoForge builds are published for 26.1.2. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Hunger and combat rules
Rules stop hunger from draining the bar, and make critical hits deal only normal damage.
Block and terrain rules
Options disable farmland trampling, leaf and coral decay, stone and obsidian generation, and ice melting from light.
Portal and dimension rules
Players cannot ignite portals or socket eyes into the End frame, and beds and respawn anchors stop exploding in other dimensions.

Growth rules
Sugar cane and cactus growth can be made unlimited in height, and crops or saplings can be stopped from growing.
