Vanilla Tweaks

Civ servers generally tweak or remove many mechanics from vanilla in order to maintain gameplay balance. Note that this is a generic list and not every civ server will do everything in this list.

Changed Mechanics
Almost always changed:


 * Disable trading with villagers
 * Disable endermen picking up blocks
 * Disable the wither's ability to break blocks (via either explosions or its initial spawn explosion)
 * Disable opening ender chests (note that ender chests can still be used for Shop Relays)
 * Disable enchanting books via enchantment table
 * Disable all vanilla xp sources (mining, mob drops, smelting, fishing, etc) except for xp bottles. See Enchanting for how to get experience
 * Disable teleportation via chorus fruit

Sometimes changed, depending on the civ server:


 * Elytra wings might be removed
 * Only send death messages in a local radius of the death (usually around 1k blocks). See also Chat
 * Increase base movement speed of mounted horses to 0.3 (from 0.17 in vanilla)
