About this Mod
MiscTweaks
This is a lightweight mod that adds a few QoL features and addresses some gameplay annoyances.
Server-side:
- Creeper explosions drop all destroyed items instead of only some of them
- Berry bushes don't do any damage when sneaking or wearing leg or body armor
- Berry bushes don't slow down entities as much when wearing leg or body armor
- Cobwebs can be set on fire and burned. Blocks from other mods can be added to the configuration for mod compatibility
- Flying into water with the Elytra makes the player start swimming instead of continuing to fly underwater
- Thorns and Soul Speed don't cause durability damage to armor
- Mining obsidian-like blocks takes less time (1.6x faster by default). Blocks from other mods can be added to the configuration for mod compatibility
- Stable block drops - Disables the random horizontal movement that block drops get when breaking blocks. Crouching while breaking a block near you will make its drops fling towards you
- Any music disc dropped by creepers can be found in loot chests instead of only 13 or Cat
- Animals search for food items dropped on the ground near them and eat it on their own
- Backported lodestone changes from 1.21.5
- Backported saddle recipe and loot changes from 1.21.6
- (Disabled by default) Vanilla saplings can grow tree variants added by other mods. Requires manual configuration, default configuration includes vanilla trees and an example configuration for Geophilic
- (Disabled by default) Shulkers don't duplicate when hit by shulker bullets
Client-side:
- Per-dimension brightness - Change brightness for each dimension individually
- Hotbar is raised from the bottom of the screen (by 2 pixels by default). Supports UI resource packs. Automatically disabled if Raised is installed
- Shield is lowered (but still visible) when held in offhand. Modded shield items can be added to the config for mod compatibility
Tweaks can be toggled on/off and configured. On Fabric, access the in-game config via Mod Menu. On NeoForge, access the in-game config via the built-in mod menu. If Sodium is installed, most client-side features can be configured in Sodium video settings.
All versions require Fzzy Config and Mixson. Fabric version also requires Fabric API.

MiscTweaks server crashes on startup – what to do?

Is MiscTweaks compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?
MiscTweaks officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with MiscTweaks – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if MiscTweaks consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
