tux's legacy quality of life

by tuxedo-cat

tux's legacy quality of life is a Legacy Fabric tweak pack for 1.4.7 – 1.5.2 that reworks experience, anvil costs and Wither Skeleton drops.

Legacy FabricClient and serverAll rights reserved1.4.7 – 1.5.2

What it does

Each level costs the same amount of experience to reach, because a flat limit of 10 per level replaces the steep exponential growth found in vanilla. Anvils lose their Too expensive limit, item repair costs are halved after each repair, and combining items at a smithing table costs roughly 50 to 80 percent less than in vanilla. A set of configurable tweaks, including operator commands, adjusts other parts of the game.

Wither Skeletons spawn throughout the Nether rather than only in fortresses, they come with their own spawn egg, and they spawn in groups of up to six. Each one has a 54 percent chance to drop a skull without the Looting enchantment. The mod is designed for worlds where these changes are wanted, and both the server and every player need it installed. It is published for Legacy Fabric only, with files for 1.4.7 and 1.5.2 and version 1.0.3+1.5.2 as the latest, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Questions

Does tux's legacy quality of life need Fabric API?

No dependency is listed for the mod. It is published for Legacy Fabric, so it installs on that loader for 1.4.7 and 1.5.2.

Does the server need the mod?

Yes. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.

Why does the mod change the experience curve?

The author describes the linear 10-per-level cap as a way to make rare enchantments and beacons reachable through a set amount of work rather than long grinding.

What the author says

I felt that the anvil changes were justified, considering Mending being way too overpowered in modern versions, allowing you to keep an item forever, but not every item as it will still cost you in materials. Experience is supposed to be an added benefit of doing mundane tasks, not a challenge, which is why I felt…
