Bat Membrane
Bat Membrane is a Minecraft Java Edition datapack that changes how players obtain phantom membrane while removing one of the game’s most disruptive night threats. Phantoms are disabled, so sleeping is no longer required to avoid aerial attacks during long building or exploration sessions.Bats become a useful alternative source, dropping phantom membrane when defeated. The datapack also adds the “Ol Betsy” advancement for killing two bats with one arrow. Designed for singleplayer worlds and server Minecraft environments, it offers a simple gameplay adjustment that our BoxToPlay team recommends for calmer survival adventures without removing access to Elytra repairs and related recipes.
Kill Shrink
Kill Shrink adds a playful progression mechanic to a Minecraft server. Each time you kill a mob, your character becomes slightly smaller, gradually changing movement, visibility, and the way you approach survival. The effect turns ordinary combat into a constant risk, since continued hunting can leave you tiny.Golden apples restore your size little by little, while enchanted golden apples trigger a much stronger growth effect because they are rarer. The datapack is designed to work with the Pehkui mod, which handles player scaling, and supports Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.21, and 1.21.1. BoxToPlay makes this unusual challenge easy to enjoy on your server.
Kill by 1 hit
Kill by 1 hit is a Minecraft Java datapack that radically simplifies combat by letting players defeat mobs with a single successful hit. Even formidable enemies such as the Ender Dragon, Wither, and Warden become vulnerable to this powerful rule, turning dangerous encounters into fast, chaotic victories.Designed for experimentation, jokes, challenge setups, or an intentionally overpowered Minecraft server experience, the pack focuses on combat behavior rather than new content. It supports versions from Minecraft 1.16 through 26.2, while BoxToPlay makes it easy to include in a customized adventure or survival environment.
Nuve's Woodcutter Recipe
Nuve’s Woodcutter Recipe is a Minecraft Java datapack that expands the stonecutter with recipes for wooden materials and decorative components. Instead of relying only on the crafting table, players can process wood through a familiar, precise interface, making building projects and resource management more convenient.Designed for singleplayer and Minecraft server gameplay, it supports a broad range of Java Edition versions, from 1.16 through 1.21 and 26.1.x according to its project listing. The pack focuses on utility and game mechanics without adding new blocks or items, offering a lightweight quality of life improvement. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for survival servers that want more flexible wood crafting while keeping the vanilla feel.
Mace Protection
Mace Protection is a Minecraft datapack that adds a dedicated armor enchantment against the powerful smash damage caused by Maces. Each level reduces smash damage by 4 percent for every equipped armor piece, reaching 16 percent per piece at level IV. It can be applied to helmets, chestplates, leggings, and boots, giving a Minecraft server a practical counter to aerial mace attacks.The enchantment remains compatible with every vanilla Protection type, allowing players to combine it with familiar defensive setups. It can be obtained through ominous vault rewards. At BoxToPlay, we see it as an effective way to make mace PvP more tactical, balanced, and survivable.

Disabled Vanilla Recipes

It creates a total crafting blackout, preventing players from using standard crafting, smelting, furnace, smithing, stonecutting, brewing, and other vanilla recipes during survival gameplay.This clean slate is ideal for custom progression, technology focused modpacks, and challenging multiplayer experiences. Recipes added by mods remain available, allowing your Minecraft server to follow its own progression. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it for packs that need a controlled starting point without altering mod content.
MCA x Tensura
MCA x Tensura is a Minecraft datapack created to connect MCA Reborn with Tensura: Reincarnated. It gives MCA creatures access to Tensura inspired progression by assigning EP values and skills to selected mobs, making villagers and other encounters more meaningful in an adventure focused modpack.For Minecraft 1.19.2, male and female villagers receive 1000 EP, zombie villagers receive 1400 EP, while the Grim Reaper gains 20000 EP, skills, and a boss role linked to Hero Awakening.
