-
Made all bookshelves and chiseled bookshelves added by woodworks drop themselves when broken. This be disabled in the config.
-
When you take an item from Flower Pots, Book Piles, and other supplementaries blocks, the item will try to merge with existing stacks in your inventory instead of being forced into your main hand. Also works with Hanging Signs if Amendments is installed.
-
Effects given to you by beacons now no longer create particles around the player

XP
- Crops now drop XP. You can configure the xp amount. Defaults from 0 to 1, averaging 0.5 xp per crop.
- Iron, gold, copper, Silver ore from caverns and chasms, jade ore from sully's mod, oreganized lead ore will all drop xp now. More ores can be added in the block tags
#dolt_mod_how:common_oresand#dolt_mod_how:rare_ores. - Placing a block now has a 1 in 64 chance to award 3-7 xp.

-
Make note blocks play when the block above them is not a full block (instead of requiring air)
-
You can now un-till farmland by sneak-clicking a hoe on them. Also works with rich soil farmland. I disabled trampling in my modpack, so this is in case you want to get rid of farmland without breaking them.
-
Having ANY kind of protection enchant (fire prot, blast prot, proj prot) at LEVEL 3 OR MORE will also give protection against ALL DAMAGE SOURCES equivalent to Vanilla Protection I.
-
Feather falling is omegabuffed. It now prevents twice the amount of damage. (NEEDS TESTING)

Misc Additions
-
The Chorus Soda has been added. It teleports the user exactly 10 blocks above when used. This has various applications.
-
Added the
dolt_mod_how:drop_selfloot modifier, which makes all affected blocks drop themselves. -
Added the
dolt_mod_how:trichotomyloot condition, which has three fields: "block", "blockTag", and "exclude".- The condition will target a block if it in the "block" list or in any block tags specified in the "blockTag" list, unless it is also in the "exclude" list.
- You can find an example here (exclude not pictured.)
-
New
dolt_mod_how:luckloot modifier. Making a datapack with this loot modifier (like this) will make the game put more items in your chests when you have luck and remove some items in your chests when you have bad luck. Also, if you open chests with Bad Luck, there's a chance for the 13 disc to show up. If you have Buzzier Bees installed and you open a chest with good luck, there's a chance to get a four leaf clover item, faciliating even better luck.- THIS DOES NOTHING ON ITS OWN AND YOU MUST ADD THE LOOT MODIFIER YOURSELF. ALSO THIS MOD DOESNT ADD ANY NEW WAY TO GET LUCK NATIVELY AND YOU MUST HAVE A MOD THAT MAKES THE LUCK STATS OBTAINABLE (like buzzier bees)
-
NEW POTIONS!!
- The Potion of MIMING is brewed with zirconia, or sculk when C&C is not installed. It is an instantaneous effect like instant health. When drank it copies a random the effect of the entity closest to you
- Miming II, brewed with glowstone dust, will copy every effect
- The potion of GENEROSITY is brewed by inverting miming with a fermented spider eye. Generosity I will give one of your active effects to the closest entity to near you
- Generosity II will instead give every effect.
- This was been inspired (directly copied from) the old Mint and Adzuki milkshakes from Neapolitan, which were really really fun but has since been reworked. Now i learnt to mod and they are back.
- A FUCK TON OF NEW ADVANCEMENTS (Thank you my bestie Poulpo for coming with some of the ideas)

Alexander Caverns
- Vallumraptors fail when they try to steal from chests protected by a spawn octopus.
-
Submarines built by the player will now try to match the oxidation level and waxedness of the copper blocks that were used to build it
-
If C&C is installed, the copper ingots dropped by the submarine when it gets destroyed will match the oxidation level and waxedness of the submarine

Biome Treats work even if the player is not starving

-
Coaster tweaks
- After you take last item out of an invisible coaster, the block will remain placed there, invisible, for five seconds, in case you accidentally right clicked and want to place the item back.
- Coaster will handle items renamed on an anvil as item frames do; a nameplate will be rendered above them when you look at an item on a coaster with a custom display name. This took me a really long time you should appreciate it.
Cave's Delight

You can now slice an Alex's Caves dinosaur chop to get dino cut items
Caverns and Chasms

Dungeon's Delight
-
Wardenzola is made into a cheese wheel a la brewingandchewing. It is placeable and has a new wedge item.
-
Added the disabled-by-default Ballistic enchantment. If Dungeon's Delight is installed, this can be applied to knives (and desolate daggers) give them Dungeon's Delight's cleaver throwing behavior. This is intended to be used when the player removes cleavers from their modpack but still wants the throwing behavior because it's kind of peak.
- Ballistic has three levels. Ballistic I enables knife throwing. Further levels applies adds the Serrated enchant level minus one (Ballistic III is equal to Serrated II).
- Thrown knives will be light mobs on fire they have the fire aspect enchantment.
- Ballistic Desolate Daggers that hit a mob will also summon a little floating dagger thing.
- Removes the monster rarity
EMI
-
The Craftables sidebar now properly detect items in your Quark Backpack. (this is didn't happen before and was very annoying)
-

-
Attempt to unbloat the emi page
- Enchanted books that aren't the max level will be removed from the Emi index
- Potion variants such as but not limited to splash, subtle, long, strong, C&C trail, tether, impact potions, and nirvana bongs, and bamboo spikes, have all been hidden EXCEPT the Water version of that potion, which is preserved to give you their recipe
- This seems a little much but does shave like 10 pages from EMI in my modpack, so i'll take it

From the Ground Up
-
If you naively add Charged Creepers as a natural spawn with a Forge Biome Modifier, it will automatically:
- Spawn only on thunderstorms
- Spawn only when when there are no charged creepers in a 200 block radius
- This option must be enabled in the config and does nothing on its own. Modpack devs must then add the charged creeper spawns themselves.
-
The Charged Creeper's Spore Rocket attack will spawn a Savage and Ravage Spore Cloud.
Heart Crystals
- Added config to make HEART CRYSTALS from HEART CRYSTALS give you health boost and regeneration instead of extra hearts.

Melancholic Hunger

- The food tooltip added by Quark's Improved Tooltip module now render hearts instead of chicken shanks; you can disable the saturation message in the config
- Added a RAPACITY potion effect; with this effect you can always eat all food no matter what. You should probably remove this if you have FD installed since Nourishment does the same thing. This can be done with Reliable Remover.
- changed food value of every item. new food values are a function of old food value. The function is
max(1, newNut - 2)

Mowzie's Mobs
- Added (Atmospheric) arid and red arid raked sand and (Blasted Barrens) Ashen raked sand.
My Nether's Delight
-
Fungus colonies from Nether's Delight now grow on rich soil instead of on rich soul soil. This is done so I can remove rich soul soil from my modpack.
-
Ghasta with Cream no longer regenerates, i've reworked this into a normal feast in my modpack
Neapolitan
- Getting a neapolitan banana peel into a composter now makes it compost. Yay!
Openloader
- If you have the Openloader mod installed and it's annoyingly decided to load its datapacks with lower priority than a mod you've added, run
/datapack sortto give all openloader datapacks top priority again
Opposing Force
- The Terror Chainsaw can no longer do Tree Chopping
Quark
-
Quark pipes can now be encased in stained glass of all colors, including Dye Depot ones.

Windswept
- Added an option, disabled by default, to make gingerbread men drop Windswept gingerbread cookies instead of gingerbread crumbs
Woodworks

To get everything out of this mod, I expect players to have a working knowledge of Datapacks and to be proficient in a modpack scripting tool such as CraftTweaker or KubeJS.
