Utilities Plus
Utilities Plus adds a set of vanilla-style blocks and items, plus a furnace speed fix, a configurable storage barrel, a feeding trough, a nest box and an auto-harvesting hoe for Fabric on 26.3.
What it does
The mod includes a collection of extra blocks and items in the spirit of vanilla, such as clay, terracotta, stone, cobblestone, sand and red sand variants. Kiln changes the smelting speed of furnace-type blocks so processing materials run at a consistent rate, and Blast Furnace and Smoker are sped up alongside it. A storage block holds up to 4,096 of a single configurable item type, and an upgradeable barrel keeps its contents when broken and accepts upgrades that stay with it, although an upgrade cannot be removed from a barrel holding more items than its lower tier supports.
Utilities Plus also adds a feeding trough that fills itself with food animals find appealing, reaching a 9×3×9 area around it and accepting hopper input. Placed on the ground, a nest box takes in eggs from the 3×3 patch in front of it and keeps them in a 9-slot inventory, while a hopper beneath it can withdraw eggs. The mod runs on the client and the server, with Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu required on Fabric. It is published only for Fabric, for 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, and the code is under the MIT License.
Key features
Vanilla-style blocks
Clay, terracotta, stone, cobblestone, sand and red sand variants extend the building palette with familiar materials.
Kiln smelting speed
Kiln sets a consistent smelting pace for processing materials and speeds up Blast Furnace and Smoker recipes.
Storage barrel with upgrades
The barrel keeps its contents when broken, and upgrades persist with it. Upgrades cannot be removed while the barrel holds more than the lower tier allows.
Auto-replanting harvest hoe
The hoe needs fuel and must be slotted inside a harvester, auto-replants after harvest and still loses durability.
Feeding trough for animals
The trough fills itself with food animals want, feeds nearby animals and stops working when the local population exceeds the configured limit.
