Overview
This datapack aims to make Quality of Life changes with the goal of making the game more fun or consistent with itself! Like the name implies, a lot of the changes are "nitpicks" I, the creator, have with some parts of the game.
Features
Currently, these are the features:
NOTE: Some of these features might be removed/altered in future updates

Enchantments
Spoiler
Unbreaking enchantment no longer decreases Item durability
- Tagged as Treasure (No longer appears when Enchanting/Trading)
- Appears on random loot
- Mutually exclusive with mending
- Channeling now summons thunder no matter the weather
- Impaling parity with bedrock + Drowned are also sensitive to impaling
New Enchantment: Photosynthesis

- Applies to any piece of armor, does NOT stack
New Enchantment: Heavy

- Makes the player immune to levitation
- Applies to chestplates
New Curse: Curse of Blinking
- Teleports the player to random places upon taking damage
- Applies to any piece of armor, does NOT stack
Planned Features
Below are some planned features and their motivation:
Spoiler
- Faster Furnances depending on fuel --- It makes sense to me that the hotter the fuel burns, the faster it cooks something
Potions
- Honey Bottles inherit the effects of the flowers used during pollinization --- Consistency with the suspicious stew, making it less of a gimmick and having more gameplay uses, becoming an easier form of making potions in the early/mid game
- Suspicious stew can be used to make tipped arrows --- It sees few uses, so being able to craft them early in the game when enchantments are not easy to acquire is a good thing I think
Config
Currently there's no way to disable some of the features, but that's something planned!
