Arky's Aesthetics

Arky’s Aesthetics expands vanilla-style Minecraft with quality-of-life changes to familiar mechanics alongside new building, exploration, combat, and food content. Flower pots hold more flowers, bone meal fertilizes sugar cane, cactus, lily pads, vines, and nether wart, and using a composter, cake, or bottles of enchanting can consume or use multiple items from your hand at once. Breaking a cake now drops cake pieces, hidden paintings can be obtained, and Soul Dust made from soul sand and soul soil can oxidize copper blocks. Building additions include carved wood with mob textures, bark blocks, stripped mushroom blocks, fallen leaves, new chains and lanterns, and decorative blocks made from several colored fire types. The plant additions include blue roses, pink daisies, buttercups, glowing torchflowers, moonflower vines for sniffer gardens, and cherry trees that yield cherries; the mod also adds many flower varieties, mosses, and decorative ground-cover blocks. New equipment includes shulker caps that grant levitation immunity, studded leather armor, plate armor with a chance to ignore damage, and a Farlands Dagger that dashes forward and can be customized with four dash-focused enchantments. Bismuth is a rare End ore found in large amethyst clusters, used for durable tools and weapons, a greatsword upgrade, and armor trims; the mod also adds bismuth lanterns and other blocks. Guardian spikes can serve as weapons or traps, while food-treated elder guardian spikes transfer food effects to enemies; related additions include spiked armor and shields that return damage. Redstone fire can ignite redstone blocks, and its flames can cause a bugging effect that summons redstone bugs; the bugs eat redstone wire, alter its appearance, and can reproduce after consuming enough wire. Other redstone and building features include mechanical casings that emit a signal when fitted with matching materials, a switch for turning off some glowing blocks, and sculkbone blocks generated in the Deep Dark. A basin removes armor trims using crystallized honey, while the Stardust Forge repairs or enchants items without the usual anvil repair-cost escalation, using experience levels and bismuth ingots. Scent candles provide effects in an eight-block radius, with options including night vision, speed, jump boost, luck, poison, and haste. Later additions include ocean-dwelling sea urchins in blue, red, and poisonous purple varieties, their throwable spines and venom glands, immunity-granting sea urchin bowls, and sea urchin lamps. The mod also adds bee-themed armor, roots and mosses that generate in forests, and Netherbahrean moss in the Nether.
