Custom Mechanics

StoneHavenSMP stays close to Vanilla+ survival while adding curated quality-of-life systems.

Confirmed custom directions

• Waystones — official network enabled; wild generation and crafting disabled; one complimentary primary-base Waystone per player; extra Waystones need a Permit Shop permit. See Waystone Network.
• Dynamic Join Greetings — configurable first-time and returning-player welcome messages. See Dynamic Join Greetings.
• Trowel Continued — maintained randomized placement tool for builders. See Custom Mods.
• Graves — death item recovery support. See Graves.
• Delight-family food mods — expanded cooking and farming without replacing core survival loops.

Recipe and balancing changes

StoneHavenSMP installs Vanilla Tweaks Crafting Tweaks on the server. These change how some vanilla items are crafted or smelted. They are server-side only — you do not need to install anything in your client, and Just Enough Items (JEI) will show the live recipes in-game.

Browse the full installed list with descriptions under Datapacks — Crafting Tweaks.
