Features
Meliorat, Vanilla+ improvements for Minecraft.
Features: 12
🐆 Ocelot¶
Ocelots now scare away nearby hostile mobs, giving them a unique defensive use similar to cats.
List of mobs this feature works on -
- Zombie
- Zombie Villager
- Husk
- Drowned
- Spider
- Cave Spider
- Creeper
🕒 Clock¶
The clock can now be placed on any block, turning it into a 3D model!

It has 4 states and will only update 4 times in a whole minecraft day. In the future, I am planning on making it much closer to vanilla.
The front of the clock will face towards you when placed. You can also disable the PSEUDO_VANILLA_CLOCK config so that the model becomes static. Performance affect is negligible, so you can choose whatever you prefer.
🏹 Tipped arrows¶
Instead of needing to hit your target, tipped arrows can now form a cloud of the applied postion effect wherever you hit, just like a splash or lingering potion!
Balance
- The clouds formed are smaller and shorter lasting than splash/lingering potions, as a balance choice. You can change this in the config.
🦕 Sniffers¶
Sniffers can now dig out more items rather than just two flowers. You can download a mod like EMI loot or Just Enough Resources to take a closer look at all the drops.
List of Drops
- Seeds
- Pottery Sherds
- Disc Fragments
- Archaeology Templates
As you can see, they are all archaeology related items, which fits the sniffers!
♻️ Compostable Items¶
Poisonous potato and rotten flesh can now be used as a composting material for composters. I also recommend using quark so that poisonous potatos can also be used to freeze the growth of baby mobs!
🐬 Dolphins¶
Dolphins now first guide you to a warm ocean biome, more specifically to coral reefs, before eventually leading you to a treasure location as usual.
🚋 Minecarts¶
Default speed of all minecarts have been increased to 12 b/sec (Blocks per second) instead of vanilla's default 8. You can change the speed in the configs.
🪣 Cauldron¶
Slime and honey blocks can be made in cauldrons. Place 3 slime/honey bottles in a cauldron to get the respective blocks! Amount can be changed in the config.

🏹 Fletching Table¶
Fletching table gets a brand new GUI along with some QOL recipes! There is also special compatability with EMI where you can check out all the fletching table recipes.
- Arrows

- Spectral Arrows

- Bow

- Crossbow

🪵 Wooden tools¶
Nobody uses wooden tools because of how superior and easy to get stone tools are. So I have decided to add some benefits to them so they are not just fuel fodder!
- Wooden Axe - Whenever you chop a log with a wooden axe, you have a 0.25% chance (25%) to get double logs now!
- Wooden shovel - Additional chance (10%) for extra flint when breaking gravel and adds 3 secs of cooking progress to campfire!
- Hoe - If kept in off hand while right clicking a composter with a valid item, 0.15% chance (15%) to increase compost level by 1 and adds 5 secs of cooking progress to campfire!
Note
- Durability will be reduced by one when using hoe on composters
🗨️ Clear Chat Command¶
Using /clearchat command will instantly clear your chat window. Useful when you want a fresh start!

🏷️ Item Renaming Improvements¶
Items can now be renamed without using anvils or experience levels!
- Hold a Name Tag, Empty Map, or Filled Map in your main hand.
- Hold an Ink Sac or Glow Ink Sac in your offhand.
- Right-click to open the Item Renaming screen.
- Offhand item will be consumed
- Rename items without needing an anvil or experience levels.
