What are these configs? (WTC)
by Donidin
What are these configs? (WTC) is a Fabric modpack-style tweak mod with 18 small mechanics, each toggled separately, that change how blocks, mobs and items behave.
What it does
Each of the 18 changes is a separate config option, and each can be switched off on its own through the YetAnotherConfigLib menu, which the mod requires. The changes cover glass that cuts bare hands, gold armor and blocks that slow movement, campfire smoke that blinds, raw meat that can cause nausea, cacti that grow up to 25 blocks tall, climbing walls with a pickaxe, and creepers that can be defused with shears. The author describes the set as deliberately chaotic and odd rather than realistic.
Installation requires YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) on Fabric. The mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is published only for Fabric 1.21.1, with 1.1.0 as the latest file from 2026-07-05. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Glass cuts bare hands
Breaking glass blocks with bare hands inflicts bleeding damage, so players are expected to use proper tools.
Heavy gold and slippery hands
Full gold armor with gold blocks in both hands slows movement, and attacks on entities in rain can rarely make the player drop an item.
Campfire smoke and raw meat
Standing directly in campfire smoke causes temporary blindness, and eating raw beef, pork, mutton or rabbit has a 35% chance of severe nausea.
Mega cacti and pickaxe climbing
Desert cacti can grow much taller, occasionally forming pillars up to 25 blocks, and holding a pickaxe against a wall lets players climb it like a ladder.
Defusing creepers
A creeper that is hissing and ignited can be right-clicked with shears to defuse it safely and collect extra gunpowder.

Chaotic survival runs
Players who want an odd, harder survival setting can enable several of the changes at once and leave the rest off.
Selective tweaks
Because every feature can be toggled off in the YACL menu, a single mechanic can be kept without the others.
Who it’s for: Players who want surreal or hard-to-predict rules on Fabric 1.21.1, and server owners who want to offer the same mix of changes to everyone on a server.

Have you ever thought that Minecraft is either too ordinary or not weird enough? What are these configs? is a fully modular chaotic tweak-mod that introduces a collection of hyper-realistic, completely bizarre, and incredibly funny mechanics.
