Small Tweaks
by Erath
Small Tweaks lets server owners set the grow-up time for villagers and bred or spawned animals, using a few simple configurable values.
What it does
Small Tweaks collects a handful of configurable gameplay tweaks on the server. Its main options control how long young villagers take to grow up, and separate timers apply to animals bred by players and to animals that spawn naturally. The defaults set villagers to 80 minutes, bred animals to 50 minutes and spawned animals to 30 minutes, and each value can be changed in the config file.
Because the changes run on the server, players join without installing anything, and only the server owner needs to edit settings. The mod is server-side only, so clients need nothing extra. It is released under the MIT License, the source code is public and it is open source. Fabric is the only loader, and the mod is published for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4 with 1.1.1 for 1.20.4 as the latest file.
Key features
Configurable villager growth
Young villagers grow up after a timer that the server owner can set, with 80 minutes as the default.
Bred animal growth
Animals born from breeding follow their own grow-up timer, set to 50 minutes by default.
Spawned animal growth
Animals that spawn naturally have a separate grow-up timer, set to 30 minutes by default.
Simple configuration
Each tweak is a plain value that can be edited without changing any code or rebuilding the mod.

Use cases
Faster village development
A server owner can shorten villager growth so that new villagers appear sooner in a busy world.
Pacing animal farms
Separate timers for bred and spawned animals let an owner tune how quickly farms produce adults.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want to adjust how long villagers and animals take to grow up, without adding other content to the game.
