Modifications

Data Packs

The server uses Vanilla Tweaks data packs to add small quality-of-life features while keeping gameplay close to vanilla. They are already installed—there is nothing for you to download.

Decorative Cosmetic

Data pack	What it does	How to use it
Armor Statues	Adds tools for posing and customizing armor stands.	Run `/trigger as_help`, follow the link to obtain the book, then use its controls on an armor stand.
Custom Nether Portals	Allows Nether portals in custom shapes and sizes.	Build a rectangular frame from obsidian or crying obsidian, then light it with flint and steel.
Mini Blocks	Adds miniature decorative versions of many blocks.	Craft the miniature version using the recipe shown in the recipe book.
More Mob Heads & Player Head Drops	Mobs have a chance to drop their heads, and players can drop their head when killed by another player.	Kill mobs or other players yourself; eligible kills can drop the corresponding head.
Silence Mobs	Lets you silence a mob’s ambient sounds with a name tag.	Rename a name tag `Silence Me`, then right-click the mob with it.

Convenience

Data pack	What it does	How to use it
Cauldron Concrete & Mud	Lets you turn concrete powder into concrete and dirt into mud using a water-filled cauldron.	Fill a cauldron with water, then drop concrete powder or dirt into it.
Double Shulker Shells	Shulkers drop two shells instead of one.	Kill shulkers normally; each eligible drop yields two shells.
Elevators	Lets you travel vertically between wool-block elevator pads.	Place wool blocks, drop an ender pearl on each to make elevator pads, then jump to go up and sneak to go down.
Ender Chest Always Drops	Ender chests drop as items when broken, even without Silk Touch.	Break the ender chest with any tool and pick up the dropped chest.
More Effective Tools	Makes common tools more useful for their intended block types.	Use the appropriate tool on the block; the pack broadens what each tool can harvest.
Painting Picker	Lets you choose a painting variant before placing it.	Put a painting in a stonecutter, select a variant, and take out the chosen painting.
Storm Channeling	Lets a Channeling trident start a thunderstorm.	Throw a Channeling trident at a mob or the ground to start a storm.
Unlock All Recipes	Unlocks every recipe automatically.	Open the recipe book; every recipe is unlocked without crafting an item first.
Wood Stripper	Makes stripping logs with an axe quicker and easier.	Hold an axe and right-click a log to strip it.

Gameplay Changes

Informative

Data pack	What it does	How to use it
Nether Portal Coords	Shows the matching Nether or Overworld coordinates when using a portal.	Run `/trigger nc_inOverworld` in the Overworld or `/trigger nc_inNether` in the Nether, then use a portal to see the linked coordinates.
Coordinates HUD	Shows your current coordinates on screen.	Run `/trigger ch_toggle` to turn the coordinate HUD on or off.
Workstation Highlights	Helps identify villagers’ linked workstations.	Face the villager and run `/trigger vwh_findStation`; particles highlight the villager and its workstation briefly.
