Supplementaries
Supplementaries (MehVahdJukaar, Plantkillable) is a large “vanilla+” grab-bag mod — 607 lang entries — that mixes decoration with genuinely functional redstone/utility blocks: globes, notice boards, spinning pedestals, bunting banners, clocks, sconces, and dozens of similar small pieces that feel like they should have been in vanilla. Its own advancement flavor text is self-aware about this (“Spin a globe at ludicrous speed”, “Use a Wrench to rotate a block”, “Drink from a Chalice”), giving a sense of the range — decorative furniture-scale objects through to small interactive gadgets.
Two config files tune it on this server. supplementaries-client.json controls per-block visual/behavior toggles: the globe shows a random world and displays coordinates, the notice board centers its text, buntings are not set to fast mode, the clock block uses 24-hour format, and the pedestal spins (speed 2.0) with fancy renderers on. supplementaries-common.json tunes gameplay-affecting values — quiver skeleton spawn chance (3%, difficulty-scaled), a flag’s “unbound” radius (64 blocks) and explosion radii (2.0 / 5.15 for different explosive types), and a red-merchant spawn multiplier. No Patchouli guidebook ships with it; blocks are best discovered via JEI/creative search.
Anticipated questions
What does it add? A large “vanilla+” grab-bag (607 lang entries) that mixes decoration with genuinely functional redstone/utility blocks — globes, notice boards, spinning pedestals, bunting banners, clocks, sconces, and dozens of similar small pieces.
Is it client- or server-side? Both. supplementaries-client.json controls per-block visual/behavior toggles (the globe showing a random world with coordinates, notice-board centered text, 24-hour clock, spinning pedestal, etc.), while supplementaries-common.json tunes gameplay-affecting values like quiver-skeleton spawn chance (3%), flag radii, and a red-merchant spawn multiplier.
How do I find all these blocks? No Patchouli guidebook ships with it, so blocks are best discovered via JEI / creative search.
Is it just decoration? No — it ranges from decorative furniture-scale objects through to small interactive/redstone gadgets, as its own self-aware advancement text (“Spin a globe at ludicrous speed”, “Use a Wrench to rotate a block”) suggests.
