Witless Additions
Witless Additions bundles a set of optional gameplay tweaks for Fabric, from anvil costs and axolotl breeding to spawner mining and nametag handling.
What it does
Each tweak is a separate module that can be switched on or off in the world creation screen or with in-game commands, so a server or single-player world can use only the changes it wants. The additions cover anvils, axolotls, spawners, deepslate mining, chainstone, mob silencing, nametags and sniffer finds, and more modules are planned for later updates.
The mod runs on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, across the 26.2 game line, with 3.0.1 as the latest build for 26.2, released under the MIT License. The source is not open source. Individual modules do not require other mods, but anvil changes depend on the anvil experience requirement of the game itself.
Key features
Anvil cost changes
The anvil module lifts the too-expensive cap, so an item can be repaired no matter how much prior work it has accumulated.
Axolotl breeding food
Axolotls can be bred with salmon and tropical fish items, widening the options for breeding them.
Mineable spawners
Spawners can be mined with a Silk Touch pickaxe, and they drop a spawn egg matching the mob they held.
Chainstone and mob silencing
Chainstone chains blocks along an axis and moves pistons, while shift-right-clicking a mob silences it, and a sound module restores sounds.
