Functionality Mod Banner

The mod goal is to eliminate this familiar feeling in Minecraft:

"Oh, this looks cool! I wonder what it does… oh. Nothing."

With Functionality, everything does something.

It's highly configurable, allowing any item, feature, or tweak to be disabled or customized exactly the way your heart desires.


Highlights

  • New meat drops for most passive mobs (Farmer’s Delight integrated)
  • Balanced rewards for fighting illagers, piglins, and vexes
  • Multiple short- and long-term uses for copper, amethyst, and more
  • Travel equipment (Curios integrated)
  • Fully configurable and built with compatibility in mind

  • Music discs can be thrown like shurikens, each with unique stats based on acquisition
  • Placing prismarine-related blocks under a cauldron creates an infinite water source
  • Start a thunderstorm via ritual using copper, torches, and Heart of the Sea
  • Glow lichens replaced with:
    • Dry lichens
