Improving Minecraft Fork

Improving Minecraft Fork expands survival play with changes to farming and breeding, mob behavior and drops, enchantments, equipment, crafting recipes, and everyday mechanics. Wild cows, pigs, sheep, and chickens begin less useful than farm animals, and breeding them produces progressively more evolved offspring until they become farm animals; the number of generations is configurable. Farming gains include using bonemeal on cactus and sugar cane, cloning lily pads, fertilizing Nether wart with gunpowder, magma cream, or blaze powder, and breeding pigs with apples, melons, or bread. Mobs may spawn with random potion effects or, in the case of creepers, as charged creepers; new drops include items such as cobwebs from spiders, TNT from creepers, and additional iron blocks from iron golems. Zombie Pigmen can be cured into passive Pigmen who can trade and sometimes equip armor, while hostile Nether Hell Hounds can be tamed with Black Bones and then behave and breed like dogs. New enchantments provide speed or water walking on boots, automatic smelting on tools, extra health on chestplates, and health draining on swords; matching enchantments can also be preserved when combining equipment. Added gear and materials include an uncraftable, Wither-inflicting Obsidian Sword, Adamantium tools and armor between iron and diamond, Nether brick and small flint tools, machetes, craftable chainmail, and a fast-attacking Hunting Knife. New construction and crafting options include smooth stone, hay, and hardened clay stairs or slabs, colored flower pots, reversible recipes for quartz, snow, and clay blocks, and recipes for items such as saddles, horse armor, nametags, cobwebs, paper, sugar, water, ice, and packed ice. Mining TNT has a wider blast radius without destroying items, and players can recover ingots by smelting eligible metal blocks or undamaged iron, chainmail, and gold armor. Other additions include presents that hold items for gifting or can be placed as blocks, and a creative-mode or cheat-enabled Time Scepter for growing baby animals, restoring an adult animal’s breeding ability, or evolving a wild animal. Further gameplay tweaks include defusing primed TNT with shears, setting blocks alight with burning arrows, harvesting spawners with Silk Touch while retaining their mob type, and seeing weapon and tool damage per second in tooltips.
