Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
A mod that prevents accidental overcharging of respawn anchors during fast-paced CPVP by automatically blocking glowstone placement once your charge limit…
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.21–1.21.11 on Fabric. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
A lightweight, client-side Fabric mod designed specifically for high-intensity Crystal PvP (CPVP).
The Problem
During fast-paced CPVP fights, clicking too fast often leads to accidentally overcharging respawn anchors. This wastes valuable glowstone, disrupts your rhythm, and can even trigger server-side anti-cheat false positives.
The Solution
Better Anchors intercepts your interactions on the client side. Once an anchor reaches a safe charge threshold, the mod blocks any further glowstone placement before the action ever reaches the server.
Key Features
-
Client-Side Only: Does not require server-side installation. Works on any server running Fabric 1.21.1.
-
Smart Charge Limiting: When toggled on, it dynamically sets a charge cap per anchor:
-
85% chance to limit the anchor to 1 charge.
-
15% chance to limit the anchor to 2 charges.
-
-
On-the-Fly Toggle: Use an in-game keybind (Default:
V) to quickly turn the protection on or off. -
Action Bar Feedback: Displays a clear on-screen message whenever the status is toggled.
-
Anti-Cheat Safe: Because the interaction packet is blocked locally, the server never registers the overfilled state.
How to Use
-
Install the mod in your
modsfolder along with the Fabric API. -
Hop into your server or single-player world.
-
Press
V(or your bound key) to toggle the mod on or off. -
Anchor normally—the mod will prevent overcharging.
