Nitpicks
by PTRRR
Nitpicks is a quality-of-life mod by PTRRR that changes small details of gameplay, from compasses and clocks to crafting and stacking, so that the game feels more consistent.
What it does
Compasses show the XYZ coordinates of the direction the player is facing, and clocks display the time, the day count and the current moon phase. Gunpowder can be made into sulfur, bone meal or charcoal, smelting a raw ore block yields a block named Ore, and potions stack to 16 while splash potions stack to 4. Torchflower emits light, and Happy Ghasts fed Wind Charges receive a movement buff that lasts 1 minute 30 seconds.
The mod is built as a datapack alongside its Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt files, and the author notes that the changes are meant to make the game more fun and consistent with itself. Some features can be disabled, which the author plans to keep as an option. The server must run Nitpicks, while a client may leave it out. The project is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, with public links to its source code and issue tracker. Builds cover game versions 26.1 – 26.2, and the latest file is 0.2.0-beta-mod for 26.2.

What the author says
This datapack aims to make Quality of Life changes with the goal of making the game more fun or consistent with itself! Like the name implies, a lot of the changes are "nitpicks" I, the creator, have with some parts of the game. Currently there's no way to disable some of the features, but that's something planned!
