SmartUtility

Smart Utility

Ten quality-of-life features in one mod, each with its own switch. Everything runs on the server, so your players connect with a plain vanilla client and it just works.

Most of these you would otherwise install as ten separate mods, each with its own config file and its own update schedule. This is one jar, one config, and anything you do not want stays off.

Features

More Features are coming soon!

Everything is optional

Every feature has its own toggle. Change it in the config, or in-game:

/smartutility feature list
/smartutility feature enable <feature>
/smartutility feature disable <feature>

Changes apply immediately, no restart. /su works as a shorthand.

Configuration

Two files are written on first start:

• config/smartutility-common.toml: logging
• config/smartutility-server.toml: everything about gameplay

You can also edit all of it in-game under Mods → Smart Utility → Config. No extra config library needed. A single world can override the server config with its own copy in <world>/serverconfig/.

Built for servers

• Every gameplay decision is made on the server. Clients cannot set their own multipliers or limits.
• Modded crops, logs, leaves and ores are picked up through tags and vanilla's own block types, not through hardcoded lists, so there are no config entries for content from other mods.
• Mob head drops go through NeoForge's Global Loot Modifiers, so they stack with other loot mods instead of overwriting them.
• Multi-block features respect cancelled break events, spawn protection and the world border, and they check every block, not just the one that was clicked.
• No mixins anywhere. Only official NeoForge events.
• English and German translations included.

Installation

1. Install NeoForge 26.1.2.87 or newer for Minecraft 26.1.2.
2. Drop smartutility-<version>.jar into your server's mods folder.
3. Start the server once, then edit config/smartutility-server.toml.

Installing it on the client is optional and only adds the config screen.

FAQ

Do my players need to install anything? No. All ten features work for players on a plain vanilla client.

Does it set the keepInventory gamerule? No, and it does not read it either. A gamerule is written into your world and outlives the mod; this switch is per instance and leaves nothing behind.

Does it conflict with other vein miner, tree feller or auto replant mods? Yes, but run only one of each kind. They react to the same event and would both fire. Smart Utility's own features are safe together.
