noVanilla
Take full control over block breaking, gravity, drops, and events. Create custom gameplay mechanics without a single line of Java code.
About this Mod
noVanilla is a powerful server-side Fabric mod that lets you completely redefine how blocks behave in Minecraft. Set which tools can break which blocks, customize breaking speed, add gravity to any block, replace blocks on events, create trigger systems, and much more — all configurable in-game with commands or through KubeJS with 135+ scripting methods.
⛏️ Custom Breaking Rules
Control exactly which items can break which blocks, and at what speed. Set speed multiplier to 0 to make blocks completely unbreakable without the right tool.
/novanilla rule add <item> <block> <speed>
🪨 Block Gravity
Make ANY block behave like sand — always falling, falling on hit, or falling when stepped on.
/novanilla gravity set <block> <alwaysFall> <fallOnHit> <fallOnStepOn>
🔄 Block Replacement
Automatically replace blocks when they're broken, hit, stepped on, or mined with the wrong tool.
/novanilla rule replace <number> set <trigger> <block>
⚡ Trigger System
Create custom trigger events on blocks — fire them on hit, step, break, place, projectile hit, or right-click. Combine with KubeJS for unlimited possibilities.
/novanilla trigger add <id> <block> <triggerType>
🎁 Custom Drops
Disable vanilla drops and add your own with custom items, counts, and drop chances.
/novanilla rule drop <number> true/novanilla rule customdrop <number> add <item> <count> <chance>
📦 Categories
Group blocks and items into categories — then create rules for entire groups at once instead of one by one.
/novanilla itemcategory create <id>/novanilla blockcategory create <id>
🌍 Conditions
Make rules work only in specific dimensions, biomes, or Y levels.
/novanilla rule condition <number> dimension <dimension>/novanilla rule condition <number> biome <biome>/novanilla rule condition <number> miny <y>
🔧 Debug Mode
Visual debug overlay showing all rules, triggers, gravity settings, and conditions for any block you look at.
/novanilla debug on

noVanilla server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is noVanilla compatible with fabric?
noVanilla officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with noVanilla – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if noVanilla consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
