About this Mod
Subtle Tweaks
Subtle Tweaks is a lightweight, client-side quality-of-life mod that adds a collection of small but meaningful improvements to everyday gameplay. Every feature is toggleable and most are customisable, so you only keep what you actually want.
Features
- Block Preview: See exactly where, and in what orientation, stairs, slabs, walls, and fences will be placed before placing them.
- Right-Click Harvest: Right-click fully grown crops to harvest & replant them instantly. Note: toggling this feature requires a world rejoin to take effect. Vanilla server compatibility may vary. Sneak + right click to harvest a 3x3 area (toggleable).
- Growth Stage HUD: Shows a progress bar and number indicator when looking at a crop to let you know how far through growing it is.
- Inventory Count: When hovering your mouse cursor over an item or stack of items in your inventory, a 'Total: ' message will be shown when multiple instances/stacks of that item are present in your inventory.
- Auto Collect Leads: Leads go straight into your inventory rather than dropping on the ground.
- Auto Run: Press a key (default: R) while moving to keep moving in that direction automatically.
- Compass HUD: Shows a highly customisable compass display.
- Coordinate HUD: Shows a display of your current coordinates.
- Overworld ↔ Nether Coordinate HUDs: Automatically shows your equivalent X and Z coordinates in the other dimension. Note: may display incorrect coordinates when used with certain mods (e.g. Immersive Portals). May display coordinates that are slightly off.
- Clock HUD: Shows the time of day next to your hotbar. Cave Awareness is an option that hides the clock and only displays it when you're likely underground (customisable Y-level, default: 55).
- Velocity HUD: Shows your current speed in m/s.
- Fall Damage HUD: When crouching at the edge of a ledge, the fall damage you would take from falling is shown.
All features are toggleable, and most are customisable. I highly recommend you check out the config after installing!
