Solute
by Gjorgdy
Solute is a Fabric game mechanics mod that adds small quality-of-life changes to vanilla Minecraft for a survival multiplayer server.
What it does
The mod began as a set of small quality-of-life features for its author's own server and grew into a broad expansion of the base game. Its changes include sleeping that speeds up the night and a display of the current day count, copper golems that place music discs into jukeboxes, and ladders that can be supported from above. Lava can generate different blocks depending on biome and height, and redstone-powered purpur blocks turn into elevators.
Solute is organized into a few prominent modules, and each one can be enabled or disabled through its configuration, which is documented in the project's wiki. It requires Fabric API and Fzzy Config. Only the server has to run the mod: players may leave it out and still connect with vanilla clients. Files are published for Fabric only, for six game versions 1.21.5 – 1.21.11, and the latest is 1.13.2+1.21.11 for 1.21.11, dated 2026-01-03. The code is not open source, and the project is released under All rights reserved. Development stopped after 1.21.11, and features are being split off into separate mods.
Key features
Faster night sleep
Sleeping in a bed skips the night more quickly, and the current day count is shown on screen.
Copper golem music
Copper golems carry music discs to jukeboxes, so a player can set up automated playback.
Supported ladders
Ladders can be placed hanging from blocks above, which allows climbing structures that vanilla ladders cannot reach.
Biome-based lava generation
Lava cobblestone generators produce different blocks depending on the biome and the height of the generator.
Redstone purpur elevators
Purpur blocks powered by redstone act as elevators, moving players up or down a shaft.

How it compares
Trapdoors and Ladders is a server-side only Fabric mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.3 under All rights reserved, so it covers ladders without requiring any client install. Hanging Ladders is also server-side only, but it is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and covers 1.21.4 – 1.21.7. Ladder Sprint runs on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1 – 26.3 and must be installed on the client and server, while Solute needs only the server.

What the author says
Solute will not be updated anymore after 1.21.11, its features will be split off into separate mods which you can find in the Solute Collection. Solute was started as a mod to add small QOL features for my own SMP. This slowly grew out to a full on vanilla plus mod that can be used on its own to improve the base game…
