Salju's Quill
by Jusey1
Salju's Quill is a Forge and NeoForge collection of small vanilla edits, from enchantment tweaks to changes for creepers, villagers and crops.
What it does
The mod gathers many small changes that the author did not want to release as separate mods. They touch vanilla items, mobs and blocks: hoes harvest crops with full Fortune, campfires keep enemies from spawning nearby, and creepers stop griefing blocks. Several changes reshape how the anvil and grindstone handle enchantments, repairs and renaming, with a maximum anvil cost of 15 levels. Config options let server owners switch some of these changes on or off.
Each behavior is a separate edit rather than a new system. Potions stack up to 16, a sneak right click can pull living entities off a rider, and the hotbar equipment stays in place after death. Villagers ride boats and camels, which players can steer when they are nearby. Installation needs only the mod on both sides: it runs on client and server, under the MIT License, and is published for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with Forge and NeoForge files. The source code is open source and the issue tracker is public.
Key features
Enchantment reworks
Infinity applies to crossbows, Efficiency to brushes, and enchanted items can be combined under a maximum anvil cost of 15.
Grindstone and anvil changes
The grindstone strips enchantments from the top slot into an enchanted book, and repairing costs one level of ingredient per 50% durability.
Combat adjustments
Arrows deal more damage from crossbows, blocking attackers deals damage back, and phantoms take extra damage from players.
Mob and villager changes
Creepers stop griefing blocks, and villagers ride boats and camels that the player can steer.
Hoe and smelting edits
Hoes harvest crops with full Fortune, and ore blocks smelt automatically when mined.

How it compares
Ink & Quill is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1, open source under the MIT License, with client and server environments. Redstone Quill is NeoForge only for 1.21.1, also MIT licensed and open source. Safe Harvest is client-side only for 1.20.1 – 1.21.8 and is not open source, so it covers hoe harvesting alone.
