V-Tweaks
Adding New Vanilla+ and QOL Mechanics without New Items!
Quick answer
Which V-Tweaks release should I use?
V-Tweaks 1.20.1-4.0.23 targets 1.20.1 with Forge. Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional. All 2 required mods have matching files.
Where it goes
Is V-Tweaks required on the client, server, or both?
Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional.
The source marks this as usable on both the client and server.
What else does V-Tweaks 1.20.1-4.0.23 need?
1.20.1-4.0.23. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Just Enough Items (JEI), MezzConfig first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup. 2 come through another mod in the chain.
2 extra mods were pulled in by other dependencies. Indented rows show who needs each one. We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About this project
What does V-Tweaks add?
#V-Tweaks
V-Tweaks is a small Vanilla+ and QOL mod that plays beautifully with any modpack out there. It's highly configurable, and doesn't add any new items to the game -- just new mechanics and interactions! There's a lot in V-Tweaks, which is why it has its own highly-detailed Wiki - check it out to learn what all it has to offer!
Feature Breakdown
Block Tweaks
Crop Interact: Right-Clicking on crops will do all the work of harvesting for you!! Right clicking (empty hand or not!) will earn you not only the original drop of the crop, but even some of the bonus seeds that you'd normally get (minus one, of course, to account for what's been re-planted for you). Works with most plantables, assuming they follow similar code to Vanilla.
Cake Drop: Breaking a completely un-eaten cake will drop itself. Finally you can have your cake and eat it too!
Tree Falling: Trees actually fall down when breaking their trunk, based off of Tersnip's ChopDown Mod!
Torch Lighing: #Right-clicking a torch (or anything tagged # vtweaks:ignition_item) onto any block which can be lit (furnaces, redstone ore, campfires and anything not tagged # vtweaks:torch_ignition_blacklist) will ignite it!
Item Tweaks
Durability Tooltips: Shows durability of items on item hover
Food Tooltips: Shows food hunger & saturation on item hover
Cactus Item Protection: Cactus destroying items doesn't really make sense. Enabling this prevents cactus from destroying items that run into it.
Entity Tweaks
Challenger Mobs: Challenger Mobs are an insanely customizable data-driven approach to boss-like mobs. See its dedicated Datapack Page using the submenu above to learn more about customizing this feature!
Feather Pluck: Pluck feathers off of chickens with shears! There is a cool-down of approximately 5 minutes, but it doesn't hurt the chicken even though it looks like it does!
Entity Culling: V-Tweaks offers a very powerful data-driven tool for allow you to disable specific mobs (or entity_type tag) from spawning in a particular dimension, biome or biome tag! See its dedicated Datapack Page using the submenu above to learn more about customizing this feature!
Peaceful Surface: Prevents mobs spawning above sea level (configurable) on most nights, preventing you from having to deal with all the monsters. Only on new moons will mobs spawn on the surface, but you can otherwise find them in caves like usual. You can prevent certain mob spawns from being affected by this by using the vtweaks:ignored_by_peaceful_surface entity_type tag. You can control this feature in specific dimensions using the vtweaks:peaceful_surface_blacklist_dims tag.
Smaller Bees: This tweak makes it so that bees appear to be smaller (exactly half their size, actually!). Logistically this changes nothing about them - their bounding and hit box is the same for your convenience, but they're sooo cute!
Pet Friendly Fire: This tweak prevents pet owners (or all players - this is configurable) from hurting tamed pets so that you can keep your special friend alive and healthy!
Griefless Creepers: #When enabled, any explosion caused by a # forge:creeper (entity_type) will restore itself after time, even restoring Tile Entities and their data stored within!
Player Tweaks
Corpse Drops: The item despawn mechanic is really unfair when you die, isn't it? By enabling this tweak items dropped by players on death will never despawn!
Better Feather Falling: If you have a pair of boots with Feather Falling IV on them, all fall damage is negated. The damage you would have taken (literally - the amount of half-hearts you would have taken) is then applied to directly to your boots instead.
Recipes Tweaks
Anvil Recipes: Create custom anvil recipes using a datapack! See its dedicated Datapack Page using the submenu above to learn more about customizing this feature!
Fluid Conversion Recipes: Convert one item to another by throwing it into some fluid (now with JEI integration!). By default, V-Tweaks includes a set of recipes for converting Concrete Powder to Concrete, but check its dedicated Datapack Page using the submenu above to learn more about customizing this feature!
Item Repair: Sets the repair costs of tools to a fixed 1XP, making it so you can keep your tools forever!
World Tweaks
Disable Storms: Completely disable thunderstorms, converting them all to normal rain on the fly!
