Hey, fellow players!
Here's the initial public release of my "tweaks collection" mod, which aims to make yours (actually, mine 
) survival experience better!
This mod adds the following:
-------------------- Blocks and Items -------------------------
Mailbox:
Build one on a server and ask your friends to do the same. Afterwards, craft yourself a parcel and fill it with with whatever your friend needs. Then choose your friend's address and use your mailbox to send the parcel along with a short message.
Trashcan:
Get rid of all your garbage with a convenient method of trash disposal! You are able to recover up to three items placed last before it will disappear forever.
Rusty Spikes:
These sharp rusty spikes able to hurt anyone who will try to jump on it! So, keep your eyes open!
Branch Cutter:
Ever wanted to build a hedge out of leaves? Well, there's a tool for leaf-gathering now! It's called a Branch Cutter! Five variants available (Copper, three kinds of Bronze, Iron).
Grindstone:
Give your instruments a breath of a new life. Use Grindstone Assembly with a Grindstone to spin the handle and sharpen your old tools to repair it.
Sulfuric Acid and Glue:
Now to make a proper grindstone, you'll have to make a glue first!
-------------------- Patches -------------------------
Trapdoor patch:
Now trapdoors will act like a ladder. So, you can use it on a block instead of a ladder to climb the last block!
Vines Patch:
Now players can use those Wild Vines as a ladders
-------------------- Compatibility *For Modders* -------------------------
It is possible to make use of my Grinder to sharpen modded tools. All you have to do, is to add the following information to your item's attributes (or attributesByType) CASE-SENSITIVE:
"sharpenable": true,
"onGrindstoneTransform": {
translation: { x: -0.2, y: 0.3, z: 0.4 },
rotation: { x: 50, y: 0, z: 0 },
origin: { x: 0.5, y: 0.1, z: 0.5 },
scale: 1
}
Of course, use your proper values for onGrindstoneTransform.

seems like a fun mod, 1.21.5 ?
Still Necessaries - Vintage Story Mod DB
1.19.3 ZigTheHedge?
1.18.XX ?
es-es.json
For anyone else missing this mod, someone else put up an updated version for 1.18 here: Still Necessaries
Any idea when you will get these updated for 1.18??
Mix sulfur (no powder) with saltpeter to get the mix.. then add it to the lead container with water already in it. set on fire.. close.. says 11 hours. (sorry for any spelling mistakes) did a lot of experimenting to finally find this.. hope it helps
So a couple questions...
1= how do you make Sulfuric Acid to make the glue? I cant find it anywhere, I'm guessing you mix sulfur and water but its just a guess.
2= Id like to change some of the values of the sharpening so certain materials sharpen more or reduce durability less. I've looked through the mod files but so far have only found the durability values of the discs themselves. Any help pointing me to the right file address would be appreciated.
so how do you make sulfuric acid? nothing in the mod or in game tells you how....
So, are the grindstones only for tools? No weapons?
Can't sharpen the falx on the grindstone 😣
Updated to 1.17. Poggies. Will do some testing soon to see how everything works!
ZigTheHedge I love this mod, if only for the trash can! Looking forward to v1.17
ZigTheHedge Will you be updating your mods to 1.17 now that the release candidate is out?
Do not work in 1.17
@Crossthebase
It works for 1.16 for me.
How about a "Travel Time" for the mail system, very similar to the new Auction House where mail parcels take a couple ingame hours based on package size or distance. This would be to reduce the usage of the mail system to send supplies to distant adventurers. Of course, also a config option to toggle it on/off.
Waiting for 1.16 update... really cool mod
Would there be a possibility of adding some of the scrap tools or drifter arms as compatible with the grindstone assembly? I tried doing so manually, but it seems that the item files to access the arms in particular do not allow room for much editing.
Correct "dependencies" in modinfo.json ZigTheHedge
You're recent update does not seem to fix the Lead Vessel Molds as intended... It says in the item discription that you need to make it in the pit kiln, but it won't let you build the kiln.
Hello! Could make the branchcutter able to pick up green spire cypress logs?
The lead vessel mold parts can't be fired in a pit kiln.
Can't place down grass or twigs around them.
Awesome! Thanks so much, Lisabet!
if you go to VintagestoryData/ModConfig (instead of the Mods folder you put mods in) there's a file called NecessariesConfig; you can disable any parts of the mod you don't want to use :)
Quite a few mods have config files/folders you can change stuff in, though not all of them ofc.
Is there a way to turn off the vines as ladders (or if not, can I request a toggle for that in the next update?) I love the rest of the mod, but I keep accidentally climbing up trees when trying to run somewhere fast through the forest and it gets a little annoying...
Thanks for the mod !
Cool idea with sharpening tools and a trash can.💯
