Roland's Vanilla Tweaks
by roland-a
Roland's Vanilla Tweaks is a Fabric collection of more than 25 small quality-of-life and balancing changes to vanilla mechanics, each of which can be switched off in the config.
What it does
Each change targets one vanilla behavior. Allays can plant crops, animals accept custom feeding and heal when fed, and the bane of arthropods affects a wider set of mobs. Beds no longer explode in every dimension, and blocks gain custom blast resistance, gravity and hardness values. The mod was previously known as Unaverage Tweaks.
Some additions make the game more challenging, others reward use of existing features, and a few simply change things so they make more sense. Every feature can be configured, and a feature the author has turned off by default has to be enabled in the configs before it takes effect. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It requires Fabric Language Kotlin, and files target 1.20.1 only, with 4.1 as the latest build from 2024-08-21.
Key features
Allays planting crops
Allays can plant crops, adding a farming behavior that vanilla allays lack.
Custom animal feeding
Animals accept configurable food and heal when fed, so breeding and healing rules can be adjusted.
Wider arthropod bane
The bane of arthropods enchantment applies to more mobs than in vanilla.
Block physics values
Blast resistance, gravity and hardness can be set per block, changing how blocks break and fall.
Beds without explosions
Beds no longer explode in dimensions where vanilla beds do, removing an unexpected hazard.

Use cases
Balancing a survival world
Server owners can tune mob drops, blast resistance and hardness to match the difficulty they want.
Adding farming options
Players who rely on allays for farms can let them plant crops instead of only collecting items.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want small, individually switchable changes to vanilla mechanics, and who are willing to set the options in the config files.
