Diversity - Diversity Mod for Minecraft

Mod Overview

Diversity is a comprehensive modification project that significantly expands Minecraft gameplay by adding numerous useful features, quality-of-life improvements, and interesting mechanics. The mod works both on the client and server-side only installations.

Current feature count: 68 (plus one in the latest version)

What's New in Version 2.4.0?

• Sugarcane can now grow on blocks with the diversity:strong_support_sugarcane tag without needing nearby water. Default blocks: mud and muddy mangrove roots
• Added dependency on Faewulf's Lib library
• "Beacon Extended" module increases beacon range and effect duration beyond level 4! Each additional level adds 20 blocks to the range, up to level 10
• New "Day counter" option to change daytime tick speed (use with caution)
• Foxes automatically breed after eating berries
• Two new enchantments for bundles: "Vacuum" (sucks all newly picked-up items from inventory) and "Selective Vacuum" (only sucks items that already exist in the bundle)
• Additional configuration options for "Spyglass what is that?" function (range, info display, distance, name)
• "No saddled mobs wandering" function (replaces "No tamed horse wandering") now affects all mobs that can wear saddles (modded mobs supported)

Important Note for Version 1.20.1

The original mod version is designed for Minecraft 1.21, so the backport for 1.20.1 doesn't include some features:

• Copper bulbs with 1 tick delay
• Random size fish
• Smaller bees
• Mace rotates blocks
• Custom enchantments don't support data-driven configuration

Main Features

Quality of Life Improvements

Copper bulbs with 1 tick delay (disabled by default) (1.21 only)

Copper bulbs operate with 1 tick delay, as in snapshots.

Backup protection enchantments (server-side only in 1.21)

Adds weakened versions of the four protection enchantments with 25% effectiveness of originals.
