Gravel Tweaks Data Pack (1.21.8, 1.20.1) completely redefines the role of gravel in Minecraft, turning this once-overlooked block into a strategic element of exploration and resource gathering. From reworked vein structures to rare loot drops and biome-level upgrades, this data pack adds real value to breaking gravel and makes mining a more rewarding experience.

Features:
- Dynamic Gravel Veins:
Gravel veins are no longer static filler blocks. They now take the form of dynamic structures with embedded resources, giving you a reason to mine every gravel pocket thoroughly. - Custom Gravel Drops:
Breaking gravel may yield rare items, ores, or even gems not just flint. These drops are biome-sensitive and reflect the environment you’re mining in, creating more variety and excitement. - Enhanced Excavation Mechanics:
The pack streamlines gravel clearing and introduces smoother mechanics to reduce the tediousness of digging through it. This means less clogging your pickaxe and more treasure hunting. - Gravel-Based Puzzles & Challenges:
Encounter gravel-centric challenges while mining, including structural traps and buried puzzles that test your problem-solving and survival instincts. - Resource-Rich Gravel Biomes:
Certain areas in your world now feature gravel biomes zones where gravel is abundant and laced with ores, loot, and unique structures. These hotspots encourage deeper exploration and smarter mining strategies.
