Survival Mod
by Survivors
Survival Mod, from the team Survivors, adds toggleable recipes, new structures and a set of commands for players who want to tune a survival server.
What it does
Survival Mod is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.4 – 1.21.5 that runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It requires Fabric API. Its recipes can be switched on and off, and it adds a handful of crafting and smelting options: raw ore blocks smelt into regular ore blocks in a blast furnace, torches and glass panes craft light blocks, and stonecutters adjust light levels. Large grass and large ferns can be crafted from small ones.
The mod adds new structures, some small and some large, and a command that toggles survival behavior. A statistics command shows a selected stat in several formats, and the chosen stat can be pinned above the hotbar in a customizable color, lime green by default. Total time spent in the world or on the server can be shown the same way, with playtime read from the player's statistics and reset by clearing stats. Experimental features live in a separate version that is unstable, and some of them were removed because they do not work as intended.

How it compares
Placeable Plants is a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.11, server-side only, open source under the MIT License, so it covers a different set of blocks on the same kind of server. SG Recipes is also a server-side Fabric mod, open source under the MIT License, but it is built for 1.21.6 – 1.21.8 and focuses on recipes rather than structures or statistics.
