Diversity Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) – Expand Minecraft Gameplay with Unique, Fun Tweaks

Diversity Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) brings a collection of creative and immersive features that enhance the Minecraft experience with subtle yet impactful changes. Rather than overhauling the core mechanics, this mod enriches gameplay by adding meaningful interactions and environmental behaviors that blend seamlessly with vanilla Minecraft.

Whether you’re calling down thunderstorms with a trident, igniting enemies by simply wielding a torch, or discovering how biome temperature affects sponge drying, the mod rewards curiosity and experimentation. Perfect for both casual players and seasoned adventurers, Diversity Mod offers server-friendly functionality and optional toggles for each feature.

Features:

• Day Counter Overlay
  Track how many in-game days have passed directly on your HUD a useful touch for survival challenges, server tracking, or just personal curiosity.
• Wandering Trader Announcer
  Never miss a visiting trader again. The mod will notify you when a wandering trader spawns nearby, giving you a chance to catch them before they wander off.
• Trident Storm Summoner
  Throwing a trident during clear skies? Now it can call down a thunderstorm, allowing you to trigger weather changes in dramatic fashion.
• Torch Attack Ignites Targets
  If you attack a mob while holding a torch, it will catch fire. This makes early-game combat more strategic and fun.
• Glow Berry Buffs
  Eating glow berries now grants a glow effect, helping you light up your surroundings temporarily without needing a potion.
• Drying Sponges in Hot Biomes
  Wet sponges will dry naturally over time when placed in hot biomes like the desert or savanna, offering a logical and immersive alternative to furnaces.
• Deepslate Cobblestone Generation
  When lava meets water below Y-level 8, the cobblestone generated will become deepslate. This allows automatic deepslate farming using normal lava/water generators.
• Cats Have 9 Lives (Optional)
  Reflecting their mythical resilience, cats in the game now have 9 lives. This adds a charming, fantasy-inspired element to your feline companions.
• No Elytra Use in Water or Rain (Optional)
  To encourage realism, elytras can be disabled in wet conditions. This feature is off by default but can be enabled for added challenge.
