Tweaks

Vanilla has a lot of numbers that just sit in the code: how long a creeper fuses, how hard a pearl hits you, how far a lead stretches. Tweaks turns them into gamerules, so you can change them with /gamerule, per world, while the server is running. Every default is the vanilla value, so nothing changes until you set a rule.

It only needs to be on the server. Players join with a vanilla client and don’t install anything.

Rules

| Rule | Default | What it does |
| — | — | — |
| entityPortalCooldown | 300 | Ticks before an entity can use a portal again |
| enderPearlDamage | 5 | Damage from an ender pearl landing, 0 turns it off |
| enderPearlPower | 150 | Throw speed of pearls, in hundredths |
| enderPearlDivergence | 100 | How much pearls scatter, 0 is dead straight |
| enderEyePopChance | 20 | Percent chance a thrown eye of ender breaks |
| criticalHitMultiplier | 150 | Crit damage in hundredths, 150 is vanilla |
| shieldAxeCooldown | 100 | Ticks a shield stays down after an axe hit |
| creeperDefaultFuseTime | 30 | Ticks a creeper takes to blow up |
| leashBreakDistance | 10 | Blocks until a lead snaps |
| leashElasticDistance | 6 | Blocks until a lead starts pulling the mob |

From 1.21.11 on the names are snake_case (ender_pearl_damage), because vanilla only allows lowercase gamerule ids there. The lead snap distance is 12 in vanilla from 1.21.8 on, so that is the default on those versions.

/gamerule enderPearlDamage 0
/gamerule creeperDefaultFuseTime 60
/gamerule criticalHitMultiplier 200

Where it runs

Fabric and Quilt (Fabric API isn’t needed), Forge, NeoForge, and Paper, Folia included. 1.20.1 has no NeoForge build. Every Minecraft version is its own download, so grab the file that matches your server from the versions tab.

Known issues

A vanilla client can stop drawing a lead once it is stretched past the vanilla distance. The lead is still there, the client just hides it, and getting around that would take a client mod.
