Misc Tweaks Mod (1.21.7, 1.20.1) is a lightweight, server- and client-compatible mod that brings much-needed polish to Minecraft without changing the game’s core identity. Available for Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge, it introduces small but powerful adjustments that patch annoying inconsistencies and quality-of-life issues. Whether you’re managing a multiplayer server, assembling a modpack, or playing solo, Misc Tweaks quietly improves the game in ways you didn’t realize you needed until you have them.
