Vanilla Tweaks

LegisCraft uses a a set of VanillaTweaks datapacks in order to enhance gameplay and provide some quality of life (QoL) features. These are meant to reduce frustration and add slight and subtle conviences to LegisCraft.

Anti Creeper Grief

Anti Creeper Grief does as its name implies. It prevents creepers from creating large craters or destroying blocks when they explode. This does not prevent them from dealing damage to the player.

Cauldron Concrete

This is a simple addition, allowing players to convert their concrete powder into concrete easily by dropping them into a cauldron full of water.

Double Shulker Shells

Another simple one that does as its name implies. All Shulkers now drop double the amount of shells. Mainly, this makes it easier to obtain shulker boxes on a multiplayer server.

Ender Chest Always Drops

Very self explanatory. Removes the silk touch requirement for mining Ender Chests and instead just allows for a diamond pickaxe to drop the item as normal. Provides some inventory relief in the early game.

Graves

This datapack is similar to a lot of mods out there that do essentially the same thing. When a player dies, it creates a grave at their death location, storing all items within it that only that individual player can retrieve. This prevents a loss of items due to lava, mobs, or despawning.

Players must still navigate to their death location to retrieve their items. Items can be retrieved by right clicking the grave. The Graves Datapack allows for some configuration, and the current setup on LegisCraft is:

Config NameDescriptionStatus
Grave Robbing"When enabled, players can open graves they do not own."DISABLED
XP Collection"When enabled, graves collect XP dropped on death. Note that players do not drop all their XP on death."ENABLED
Grave Locating"When enabled, players can see the coordinates of their graves."ENABLED
Compatibility mode"This fixes graves not picking up items from certain modded slots, or not picking up certain modded items with special behavior on death."DISABLED
Grave Despawn Time"The number of seconds after which a grave and its contents are deleted. A grave's despawn timer only runs while the grave is loaded."1000

Nether Portal Coords

This makes converting nether portal coords easier to do. When a player enters or exits a nether portal it will display the linked Nether or Overworld coordinates.

Player Head Drops

Players will now drop their own heads upon death by another player. This is a 100% drop rate and does not apply to mob heads. Those must be obtained the normal way.

Silk Touch Budding Amethyst

Self-explanatory. Mining budding amethyst with a silk touch pickaxe drops the budding amethyst block, allowing essentially farmable amethyst shards at convenient locations.

Timber

Similar to a lot of tree-feller/tree-capitator plugins or mods, this datapack allows for the chopping of entire trees with chopping the bottom block with an axe. You can view the details of the datapack here. Players may toggle it on or off themselves using /trigger TimberToggle. It is highly configurable and the current configuration on LegisCraft is:
