Amendments is a highly configurable mod designed to introduce a multitude of enhancements and functional improvements to existing vanilla blocks within Minecraft. The primary goal of this mod is to enrich the gameplay experience by adding more utility and refining the visual appeal of various in-game features without introducing entirely new blocks or items. This mod consolidates several previously separate mods, such as Carpeted stairs, Better Lilypads, Better Jukeboxes, and certain features from Supplementaries, meaning players no longer need to install those individual mods to access their functionalities. Amendments focuses on making the familiar aspects of Minecraft more engaging and visually appealing, offering a more polished and feature-rich vanilla experience for players who enjoy the core game mechanics but desire additional depth and polish. The mod operates by modifying the behavior and appearance of numerous vanilla blocks, offering a wide array of new interactions and visual cues. For instance, cauldrons gain the ability to store any liquid, mix potions and dyes, and even craft items when interacted with. Lanterns receive a new 3D animation when held and can be hung on walls with pendulum physics. Lecterns now feature an improved GUI for books, allowing font and color changes, and can interact with hoppers. Hanging signs can display items and banner patterns, and swing with physics. Jukeboxes visually display the currently playing disc, which also spins, and work with any disc. Carpets can be placed on slabs and stairs, and cakes can be stacked and rotated. Lilypads can support any block by occupying the block below, and mob skulls can be stacked and adorned with candles. Brewing stands show colored bottles, banners and pots can be placed on ceilings, and bells connect visually to chains and ropes. Amendments is compatible with Minecraft versions 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.3, 1.20.4, 1.21, and 1.21.1. It supports the Fabric, Forge, and NeoForged mod loaders, ensuring broad compatibility for a wide range of players. This mod is required on both the client and the server, meaning that all players who wish to experience the enhanced gameplay and features must have Amendments installed on their game client, and the server must also have the mod installed for the changes to take effect. This ensures a consistent and unified experience for everyone playing on a server that utilizes the Amendments mod, preventing any discrepancies in block behavior or functionality. To install Amendments, place the mod file into the 'mods' folder of your Minecraft installation. For Fabric, this is typically located in the `.minecraft/mods` directory. For Forge and NeoForged, the process is similar, with the mod file being placed directly into the respective mod loader's 'mods' folder. Before launching the game, ensure that you have the correct version of the mod loader installed that corresponds to your Minecraft version. It is also recommended to check for any known incompatibilities with other mods you may be running, although Amendments is designed to be broadly compatible. Always ensure your game files are backed up before installing new mods to prevent any potential data loss.
