Instant Smelting & Processing

Furnaces, smokers, blast furnaces, brewing stands, and campfires all process their contents instantly the moment fuel and input are present. No more AFK standing next to a furnace bank. The fuel consumption multiplier is configurable so you still spend roughly the same amount of coal or more if you want — you just don't have to wait.

Safe fuel mode prevents the furnace from burning more fuel than is needed to finish the current batch, eliminating wasted fuel on partial loads.

Auto Replant

Break a fully-grown crop and GGQOL automatically replants the seed in the same tick, consuming one seed from the drops (or from your inventory if none dropped). Sugar cane and cactus columns are fully supported — break the bottom block and the entire column is harvested and replanted in one swing.

Shulker box and bundle support means you can carry thousands of seeds in a single inventory slot without breaking the replant flow.

Supported crops: Wheat, Carrots, Potatoes, Beetroot, Nether Wart, Sugar Cane, Cactus (if any new crops get added in the future this will be updated).

Bonemeal Max Grow

Right-clicking with bone meal grows the target plant or sapling to its maximum age in one use rather than advancing it by a random amount. Height caps for bamboo, sugar cane, and cactus are configurable so bonemeal stays balanced.

Animal Quality of Life

Managing a large animal farm in vanilla is painfully slow. GGQOL addresses every step of the process:

Instant tame — wolves, cats, and horses tame on the first attempt, every time.
Instant breed — breeding produces a baby immediately and resets the cooldown, so you can breed the same pair again straight away.
Instant grow — baby animals grow to adults instantly, including chickens hatched from thrown eggs.
Feed from shulkers/bundles — right-clicking animals consumes breeding food from inside shulker boxes and bundles so you don't have to unpack them.

Villager Improvements

Vanilla villagers have some of the most tedious mechanics in Minecraft. GGQOL fixes them all:

Instant cure — zombie villagers are cured immediately, with no waiting period and no RNG on discount level.
Instant workbench update — place or replace a job site block and the nearest unemployed villager claims it instantly, no wandering required (this specifically helps with servers like paper that like to keep villagers idle for most of the day so they do not search for workbenches at all some times).
Reset trade cooldown — villager trades refresh after every trade rather than locking out after a set number of uses.
Bulk trading — double-click a trade to execute it as many times as your inventory allows, pulling ingredients from shulker boxes and bundles automatically.

Bulk Crafting

Shift-clicking a recipe in the crafting table crafts up to 2147483647 items in a single click, consuming materials from your entire inventory including shulker boxes and bundles. The result is delivered directly to your inventory, with any overflow dropped at your feet.

Anvil Improvements

Two separate anvil improvements are included:

Unlimited repair cost removes the vanilla 39-level "Too Expensive!" cap. The actual XP cost still increases with each repair — it's just no longer hard-capped. A configurable absolute maximum can be set if you want to impose a server-side limit.

Anvil cost tooltip adds a Cost: N levels line to the item lore while it's sitting in the anvil result slot, so you always know exactly what you're about to spend before you click.

Armored Elytra

Combine any Netherite Chestplate with an elytra in an anvil to create an Armored Elytra that provides both flight and the full armor value of the chestplate. The armor attributes transfered and stored on the Elytra. The item survives further anvil operations and enchanting and becomes fire/lava resistant.

Tool & Armor Break Prevention

Tools and armor stop taking damage at 1 durability remaining — they will never break, but they also won't function until repaired. A warning sound plays when the threshold is hit so you know to visit an anvil. This applies to tools mid-use and to armor taking incoming damage.

Inventory Totem of Undying

A Totem of Undying activates automatically from anywhere in your inventory, including inside shulker boxes, bundles, and your ender chest — not just when held in your off-hand. Configure exactly which storage locations are searched and whether a held totem takes priority.

Silk Touch Block Recovery

Breaking any block with a Silk Touch tool drops the block itself as an item (if available) and returns all container contents (chest, dispenser, dropper, hopper, furnace, etc.) directly to your inventory rather than scattering them on the ground.

Spawner support is also included — you can configure whether a silk-touch spawner drops the spawner block, a spawn egg, or both.

Sea Pickle Fast Place

Right-clicking a sea pickle cluster with more sea pickles in hand rapidly fills the cluster to its maximum density (instead of placing 1 at a time if you inventory have enough it will place all 4 at once), consuming pickles from shulker boxes and bundles automatically. Ideal for lighting up large oceans or rivers.

Bundle Scroll

Scroll through a large bundle's contents by scrolling the mouse wheel while hovering over it in your inventory. The selected slot cycles through the bundle's contents so you can quickly grab a specific item type without unpacking everything. This is specifically for when you have more than 13 items which in the normal UI would make all other items from that point on a pain to take out.

Mud Spread

Right click water bottle at a patch of dirt and it converts surrounding dirt blocks to mud in a configurable radius, spreading outward in a natural flood-fill pattern over several ticks. Perfect for building speed building farm item collection systemts with dirt and quickly converting it all to mud when done with your build.

Concrete Powder in Water

Drop concrete powder items into water source block and they convert to concrete automatically as they float in the water source. Works with items inside shulker boxes and bundles dropped into water, so you can hydrate an entire inventory of powder in one go.

All 16 concrete colours are supported.

Piston Farmland Protection

Farmland blocks no longer revert to dirt when piston head is pushed over it. This significanly expands the amount of farms which can be created since now the farmland can remain after breaking the crops ontop of it. The configurable water search radius determines how far away a water source counts as "nearby" for the protection check.
