Server Features

Cobbleton Forever features a suite of plugins, datapacks, and tweaks designed to make the gameplay experience unique and inviting. Some stand-out features can be found listed below.

Quality of Life Changes

Using the stonecutter to cut wood.

• Rotten flesh can be turned into leather by cooking it in a smoker, and into brown dye by putting it in a furnace.
• Stonecutter utility significantly expanded; stonecutters can now perform the same cost-reducing crafting function with blocks crafted from wood and iron.
• Special delivery: Experience from distant dispatched mobs now zooms directly to the player.
• Green thumb: Harvesting crops gives a limited amount of experience.
• Green finger: Crops can be harvested (and instantly replanted) by right-clicking on them.
• Recall of the void: Totems of Undying now uniquely affect players otherwise damned to the void.
• Roadrunner: Players move faster on paths.
• Silence of the lambs: Dropping an echo shard on mobs silences them.
• Right clicking one of the doors in a set of double doors will open both.
• Nugget in a wheat stack: Players can use the /finditem command to search nearby chests for elusive items.
• Unlimited power: Anvils will no longer tell you an item is "Too expensive!" to enchant or repair, instead limiting the max cost to 39 levels.
• Pressing sneak while on the bottom-rung of a ladder and holding extra ladders will now place another ladder directly underneath you.

Custom Items

The slime bucket in action. How adorable.

• Sickle: Craft a sickle to quickly harvest (and replant) large selections of crops.
• File: Use a file to modify the joints and connections of blocks that automatically connect with one another (such as walls, fences, glass panes, and stairs).
• Trowel: Trowels can be crafted and used to place random blocks from the player's hotbar, allowing for easy and thought-free variability in walls and surfaces.
• North Compass: A compass that points north rather than toward the world spawn.
• Slime Bucket: Right clicking a small slime with a bucket will capture the slime in the bucket, allowing for transportation of the slime but also identifying slime chunks (the slime will begin to bounce when in a slime chunk).
• Pouch: A bundle alternative crafted with rabbit hide and string
• Backpack: A worn successor to the shulker box.
• Portal Scrolls: Craftable, limited-use items that allow teleportation to the world spawn point, the player's bed, lodestones, and previous locations. An inventory replacement for /home, /spawn, and /back commands.
• XP Bottles: Empty experience bottles allow players to store their experience points and retrieve them later.
• Netherite Elytra: Gone are the days of sacrificing protection for mobility; upgrade elytra with a netherite ingot to bolster the defenses of your insectoid jetpack.
• Ancient Tomes: Found throughout the world alongside common loot, Ancient Tomes are the vessels in which Vane's custom enchantments can be inscribed.

Custom Blocks

• Wall Lantern: A wall-attached variant of the lantern in direct contradiction with Mojang's well-thought-out game design practices.

Aesthetic Features

The Heads Database plugin in action.

• Over 50,000 decorative heads can be purchased (using in-game materials) by exploring the head database (/hdb in chat).
• Create instant custom paintings using online images with the ImageFrame plugin.
• Banners can be hung horizontally like flags from fences, walls, glass panes, iron bars, lightning rods, chains, and bamboo stems.
• Gardener's Dream: You can now place more flowers and plants than before into a flower pot or decorated pot by pressing sneak while on top of the pot with your chosen plant in your hand.
• Better Hanging Signs: Item frames can be used to easily display blocks and items on hanging signs.
• Armor stands now have arms and poses can be cycled through by powering them on and off.
• Banners can be equipped by triple pressing the sneak button while holding a banner.

Enchantments

Unlike traditional enchantments, Vane's enchantments are crafted using Ancient Tomes and other rare items.

• Angel: When added to an elytra, allows the player to sneak to accelerate mid-air.
• Grappling Hook: Allows fishing rods bearing this enchantment to be used to pull the player to distant surfaces.
• Hell Bent: Prevents damage when a flying player runs into a wall.
• Leafchopper: When applied to an axe, allows the player to quickly remove leaves from trees.
• Rake: Allows players to quickly create tilled fields; multiple right clicks on existing farmland tiles create a circle of tilled farmland.
• Seeding: Similar to the "Rake" enchantment, right-clicking on a seed with a hoe bearing the "Seeding" enchantment will sow nearby farmland with seeds of the same type.
• Soulbound: Equipment bearing the "Soulbound" enchantment will remain in a player's inventory after death and cannot be dropped accidentally.
• Takeoff: Elytra with the "Takeoff" enchantment allow players to take to the skies directly from the ground.
• Unbreakable: The much-envied cousin of the existing "Unbreaking" enchantment, equipment enchanted with "Unbreaking" will never be destroyed.
• Wings: The "Wings" enchantment allows players to sneak while flying with elytra for a small boost.

Social Features

Text chat appears above the player. Make sure your neighbors know that you're here to review the server for Planet Minecraft.

• Proximity voice chat allows easy, Discord-free communication with nearby players.
• Too shy for voice chat? No problem. Chat bubbles that appear over users' heads prevent text interactions from fading into the background.
• Take a breather: Crouching and right clicking any stair, slab, or carpet with an open hand allows players to take a seat.
• If you look straight down and sneak twice, you'll enter a crawl mode to fit through 1x1 spaces.
• Players can choose to identify preferred pronouns for display to users scrolling over their name.
• Custom villager shopkeepers allow for an easy and stress-free in-game trading system.
