GaiaTweaks

GaiaTweaks is a highly configurable mod that adds quality of life features, reworks, tweaks, bug fixes, and mod interactions.

_Vanilla Tweaks_

• Decreases the delay to “tempt” an animal with their favorite food after you stopped holding it
• A sword parrying mechanic for projectiles. To do it, simply block your sword right before the projectile hits you
• Option to tweak the spawn weight/frequency of endermen
• Option to change how many blocks travelled in the nether are equivalent to in the overworld
• Backports 1.8+ item frame behaviour, allowing you to rotate items in 45 degrees (this is compatible with Botania’s corporea blocks btw)
• Skeletons now visually pull their arrows before shooting
• Adds a button for accessing the Achievements menu to your inventory (also a keybind)
• Option to limit witches to spawning only in the Swampland biome, as opposed to every biome
• Food items can give configurable buffs when eaten (a few food items by default)
• Food items can be configured to have their eating speed halved (melon slices and spider eyes by default)
• Option to disable village generation
• Adds an optional stamina system that replaces the vanilla hunger system (deplenishes when running and slowly replenishes when walking/standing still; both health and stamina replenish when eating food)

_Backported Mod Features_

• Climb ladders faster by looking upwards, from Quark
• Underground biomes for sandy biomes, sandy biomes, lush biomes, etc (also Quark) [currently the only option for this feature is to disable it]
• Reversal ladder and slab recipes (also 8 stair output recipes and three block stair recipes that craft 4 stair blocks) [also Quark x2]
• Adds head slot to Baubles Expanded and allows the Goggles of Revealing from Thaumcraft to be worn in it (requires Baubles Expanded)
• Removes XP repair cost of unenchanted items and materials always repair tools by a third of their max durability, adapted from Lumberwizard’s Anvil Patch

_Mod Tweaks & Fixes_
