Mini Extras [Forge]
Sometimes the biggest improvements come in the smallest packages. Mini Extras [Forge] is a lightweight add-on that focuses on tiny, thoughtful changes rather than overwhelming you with hundreds of new blocks. If you have ever wished vanilla Minecraft felt just a little smoother, this mod is built exactly for that purpose. Every feature is optional, toggleable, and designed to respect the original game's balance.
What Does Mini Extras [Forge] Add?
The mod bundles a long list of micro-tweaks that each solve a small annoyance. None of them transform the game into something unrecognizable, which is precisely the point. You get better stairs, improved trapdoors, cleaner bark blocks, and smarter brick recipes without touching a single texture pack.
Beyond building blocks, Mini Extras [Forge] also reworks several crafting and drop tables. Rotten flesh can become leather, wool turns into string, and flint converts to gravel. Mobs receive subtle drop adjustments too, giving you extra incentive to explore. The config file lets you enable or disable each entry individually, so your world stays exactly how you want it.
