Improving Minecraft Mod 1.11.2, 1.10.2 (Better Animals, Breeding, Mobs, Drops)

Hell Hounds randomly spawn in the Nether, with customizable frequency. They are hostile, and their attacks set their target on fire. They can be tamed using Black Bones, dropped by Wither Skeletons (customizable probability), they will then behave like regular dogs. They will also be breedable (this can be disabled in the config file). They drop fire charges or glowstone dust upon death.

Hardened clay stairs and slabs

Hay stairs and slabs

Colored flower pots, using same colors as hardened clay

Obsidian sword, not craftable, a bit more powerful than iron, 1250 uses, held and dropped by wither skeletons (customizable probability). This weapon can sometimes inflict a Wither effect to the target.

Smelt metal blocks back to ingots: iron doors, cauldrons and minecarts can get you a few iron ingots back

Smelt armors back to ingots: undamaged pieces of iron, chainmail or gold armor can get you a few ingots back

Mining TNT: doesn’t destroy items and has a wider explosion radius

Adamantium ore (requires an iron pickaxe): allows to craft a new set of tools and armors, intermediate between iron and diamond (customizable generation frequency)

Nether brick tools (same power as stone tools):

Small flint tools: similar to wooden tools (deal less damage but have a higher attack speed and mine a bit faster)

Machetes: have as much attack damage as swords, are very efficient to break leaves (and get less damaged from breaking leaves than other blocks), quite efficient to break wood (still less than axes)

Craftable chainmail armor:

Hunting Knife: lower damage and range than sword but higher attack speed and Looting I enchantment on crafting

Wooden bucket: can be filled up with water or milk, but not lava. It can be used instead of iron buckets in the mod’s recipes.

Microsoft Carpet: this decorative item works like a regular carpet
