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)
