MiscTweaks

This is a lightweight mod that adds a few QoL features and addresses some gameplay annoyances.

Server-side:

Creeper explosions drop all destroyed items instead of only some of them
Berry bushes don't do any damage when sneaking or wearing leg or body armor
Berry bushes don't slow down entities as much when wearing leg or body armor
Cobwebs can be set on fire and burned. Blocks from other mods can be added to the configuration for mod compatibility
Flying into water with the Elytra makes the player start swimming instead of continuing to fly underwater
Thorns and Soul Speed don't cause durability damage to armor
Mining obsidian-like blocks takes less time (1.6x faster by default). Blocks from other mods can be added to the configuration for mod compatibility
Stable block drops - Disables the random horizontal movement that block drops get when breaking blocks. Crouching while breaking a block near you will make its drops fling towards you
Any music disc dropped by creepers can be found in loot chests instead of only 13 or Cat
Animals search for food items dropped on the ground near them and eat it on their own
Backported lodestone changes from 1.21.5
Backported saddle recipe and loot changes from 1.21.6
(Disabled by default) Shulkers don't duplicate when hit by shulker bullets

Client-side:

Per-dimension brightness - Change brightness for each dimension individually
Hotbar is raised from the bottom of the screen (by 2 pixels by default). Supports UI resource packs. Automatically disabled if Raised is installed
Shield is lowered (but still visible) when held in offhand. Modded shield items can be added to the config for mod compatibility

Tweaks can be toggled on/off and configured. On Fabric, access the in-game config via Mod Menu. On NeoForge, access the in-game config via the built-in mod menu. If Sodium is installed, most client-side features can be configured in Sodium video settings.
