Diversity! — Vanilla Enhancements and More

Diversity! offers an extensive collection of various features that significantly improve Minecraft gameplay. You'll find everything here: from minor quality-of-life improvements to radical mob behavior changes and completely crazy mechanics. The mod's distinctive feature is the ability to install on the server side only.

📍 Latest Updates (Version 2.4.0)

• Sugar cane can now grow on blocks with the diversity:strong_support_sugarcane tag without needing water nearby. Default blocks: Mud, Muddy Mangrove Roots
• Requires installation of Faewulf's Lib as a mandatory dependency
• The Beacon Extended module extends beacon range and duration beyond level 4! Each additional level adds 20 blocks to the radius, up to level 10
• New Day counter option to change the speed of the game day (modify only if you understand the consequences)
• Foxes automatically breed after eating berries
• Two new enchantments for Bundles: Vacuum (collects all newly picked up items from inventory) and Selective Vacuum (collects only identical items already in the bundle)
• Additional settings for the What is that with a spyglass? function (range, information display, distance, name)
• The Saddled mobs don't wander function (replaces Tamed horses don't wander) now affects all mobs that can wear saddles. Supports modded mobs

⚠️ Features in Version 1.20.1

The original mod version is designed for 1.21, so some features are missing in the backport for 1.20.1 with no plans to reintroduce them:

• Copper lamps with 1 tick delay
• Random fish sizes
• Smaller bees
• Mace rotates blocks
• Custom enchantments are not data-driven — disable for server-only operation (or enable, but the client also needs to install the mod)

🎯 Key Features

🛠️ Quality of Life Improvements

Copper lamps with 1 tick delay (disabled by default) — makes copper lamp delay 1 tick as in snapshots

Backup protection enchantments — adds weakened versions of four protection enchantments (25% of original strength)

Trophy banners — ominous banners as trophies obtained from bosses, shepherd gifts, and other sources

Bundle enchantments — two new enchantments for increased capacity and auto-refill

Enhanced enchanting table — interacts with bookshelves two blocks away and sees them through non-solid blocks

Bone meal for corals — using bone meal on coral fans and blocks in warm ocean biomes grows coral reefs

Bone meal for flowers — small flowers on mycelium (except withered roses and torch flowers) spread when using bone meal

Clicking through walls — allows interaction with containers through signs and frames (while holding an item), behaves like normal container opening. Use Shift for rotation/editing

🔧 Item Tweaks

Bundle for block placement — switch to placement mode by holding the bundle and Shift+Left Clicking ground, then you can place blocks from the bundle

Hoe harvests multiple crops — the hoe harvests multiple crops at once (3x3 by default, diamond and netherite — 5x5)

Shears defuse TNT — using shears on primed TNT gives a chance to defuse it

Pickpocketing villagers — Shift+Right Click with shears allows stealing from villagers. Stealing from the front provokes anger, from behind reduces risk, stealth while invisible eliminates it

🐾 Mob Behavior

Cats with 9 lives (disabled by default)

Brush for parrots and chickens — brushing birds provides feathers

Explosive sniffer — using powders on sniffers causes an explosion (educational mechanic)
