Miscellaneous Features

Animal Breeding Tweaks

In vanilla Minecraft feeding animals must be done by hand. This mod adds the ability to automate this process, as animals will now eat food off the ground, entering love mode as they do. Also, they will always attempt to breed with the closest animal also in "love mode" to prevent them getting stuck trying to breed with animals behind walls and such. Lastly, if the animal they are trying to breed with breeds with another animal instead, they will select a new target for their affections instead of just continuing to pursue a lost cause.

Babies Can't Jump

To help with the separation of babies from adults in automated breeding facilities, this mod changes the height to which baby animals can jump to only be half that of adults. This makes it possible to "filter" out adults through the use of a simple one-block high ledge around an animal pen that will only allow the adults to jump out into the loving embrace of your mechanical contraptions.

Companion Cube

With advanced artificial intelligence that prevents it from running off cliffs (or pushing you over them), the Companion Cube is the ultimate virtual pet! While it doesn't require food or water, it loves to be placed (...or reassembled after a mishap...or being put out of its misery), and will definitely appreciate the occasional pat on the head or a bit of sympathy now and again. Always supportive, and without a complaint, be sure to take the Companion Cube wherever you roam!

Companion Slab

While nigh-indestructible, even the Companion Cube has its limits, and the Companion Slab represents one of them. However, a Companion Slab may be a pleasant alternative for small homes that can not accommodate a full-sized pet, as well as being handy for helping to reach items on high shelves.

Detector Rail Variants

These variations on the detector rail allow you to create more complicated systems by giving you the Wooden and Obsidian version which can be extremely useful in the routing of minecarts.

Dirt Slab

The ultimate landscaping tool! Grass may grow over them just like with regular dirt blocks, allowing you to sculpt the perfect lawn.

Hatch Tweaks

This mod removes the restriction of having a side-block present so that a hatch may remain where it has been placed. This effectively allows you to place hatches in the middle of floors and in areas that was previously not possible, leaving other hatch functionality unaffected.

High Efficiency Recipes

A lot of recipes for vanilla Minecraft items and blocks are added by this mod, generally using the Minimized Blocks, which require less resources. See High Efficiency Recipes for more info.

Limited Pig Men and Magma Slime Spawning

Isn't it annoying how it is impossible to construct anything in the nether without having pig-men constantly spawn within your buildings? This change limits the spawning of pig-men and Magma Slimes to netherrack and nether brick so that laying down a foundation of any other material will prevent them from spawning in an area. This is particularly useful when constructing nether-based minecart-rail networks as you'll no longer have to worry about your carts constantly running into pig-men.

Minecart Tweaks

This mod reduces this drag on unridden Minecarts to provide a greater boosting effect due to powered rails. For example, with this mod, storage carts are able to travel approximately 12 blocks between powered rails without significantly slowing down, as opposed to 6 blocks without this mod.

Mossy Cobble Farming

Cobble stone in the vicinity of monster spawners will slowly turn into moss stone, which makes it possible to farm moss stone. The area of this effect around monster spawners is roughly the same size of dungeons (Just slightly wider).

Potion Tweaks

This change allows for potions to be stacked into groups of up to 8 within your inventory, making the carrying of potions much more worthwhile and convenient.

Powered Cake

By popular demand, this mod allows you to power cake! Notch was obviously out to lunch when he failed to include this feature in vanilla Minecraft, so I (FlowerChild) decided to correct this glaring design-flaw and allow cake to be properly powered through redstone current, as one would naturally expect it to function.

Squid Restriction

Squids can only spawn in large body's of water(+- 5*5*5), after all they are a squid not a golden fish.

The Beast

Finally, a wolf that will push you out of a cliff without being your friend!

Villagers Toss The Milk

In response to a HUGE oversight on Notch's part, BTW is always here to make up for those deficiencies.

Vine Trap

One of the simplest forms of traps is to simply cover a pit with some foliage to disguise it. Vine Traps allow you to employ vines for just this purpose, as monsters and animals will think they are about to step on a solid block, only to fall right through them. These effectively replace the use of signs in drop-based mob traps providing a stackable, easier to place, and more intuitive alternative.

Visually Distinct Infinity Arrows

This mod adds a separate "magic arrow" texture to arrows fired from bows with the infinity arrow enchantment, making more apparent why they can't be picked back up.

Wolf Chop

Finally! A use for wolves!

Wolf Tweaks

Tired of needing to hand-feed your wolves pork-chops while they completely ignore food that's laying on the ground right next to them? Under this mod, wolves to consume any meat that happens to be scattered about their vicinity, healing them in the process and significantly increasing their rate of dung production. Wolves that aren't hungry or injured will not eat food that is on the floor.

Wool Slab

In addition to providing aesthetic versatility, they may also come in very handy when using the Block Dispenser as a ROM by providing 16 color-coded off-bits.
