Barrel Collision: Platforms and Stacking
Created by Azure Fang
It has always bothered me that we can stand on and stack boxes and crates, yet not barrels. Well, not any more... All this simple mod does is enable platform collision on Small and Large Barrels, allowing them to function exactly like their cubic counterpa...
Barrel Fire Cooking
Created by Bitsy
This mod allows cooking at barrel fires similar to previous iterations of Starbound. If you are unable to cook at a barrel fire, please place it down again while the mod is installed. Disclaimer: In the situation that a server has the mod installed while a...
Apex City Camera Fix
Created by Lemon Drops
Fixes the security camera that is attatched to the door so when it opens it breaks. Now it is attatched to the ceiling a bit away from the door. If this mod already exists, tell me so I can take this down. Join the M32 Revolt server to talk about this mod ...
Better Mining Laser
Created by Catman
Makes the Mech Mining Laser go no further than the mouse cursor, allowing for much greater accuracy. This is by no means a good quality mod, as for all the languages I have experience in, Lua is not one of them, and so far is the most incomprehensible of t...
Competent Crates
Created by Lemon Drops
Fixes the stupid crates. For some reason they are set to be 3 blocks tall in vanilla so you can't even put them on shelves. This pissed me off to no end for long enough that I fixed it myself. If I missed any other incompetent crates notify me so I can com...
Craftable Thorn Grenades
Created by Tymon
This allows you to craft Thorn Grenades using a logical recipe. When you consider that the recipe is literally in the item description, it makes no sense you can't craft it! Recipe is learned upon pickup of a Thorn Grenade and is craftable at the Anvil for...
Bench Platform Collision
Created by Lemon Drops
You can now stand on the outpost benches (and wide wooden stools). You can also place objects on the benches if you acquire one from a tundra biome or something. This is all it does. Only this kind of bench (and wide wooden stools and the unobtainable prot...
Good Girders
Created by Lemon Drops
These wicked decorations have tormented me for the last time. This mod makes prison girder objects actually good; they now can stack onto each other. It also allows you to attach objects to the girders without turning the girders into platforms, so you can...
EPP Retexture
Created by Lemon Drops
Have you ever dyed a heat protection pack, only to seethe because you forgot that it only dyes the bottom, leaving the blue part to mismatch your outfit? Now you won't have to! Dyeable areas have been moved to make more sense! It also patches the default c...
Mech Status Immunity Fix
Created by Zacrabo
In vanilla, mechs take away all your status effects the moment you get on them, both debuffs and buffs. i have no idea why this is it's probably for planetary hazards? but you can easily add the epp immunity effects to a list whatever the reason is it ends...
Allow Parallax Transition
Created by Refolde
So as I was working on a different mod, I came across something interesting in the terrestrial_words.config file, namely, the "UseSecondaryEnvironmentalBiomeIndex" line, with a comment that states what it does if it were set to true. Curious, I decided to ...

Anter583's Utility Library
Created by Anter583

Better Hoverbikes
Created by Erisss
It never seemed strange to you that those hoverbikes can hover on ground, but can't hover on water and other liquids? This mod make them hover on liquids. It modifies hoverbike.lua, so this mod should work with hoverbikes added by mods that use hoverbike.l...
Better Sit Idle
Created by TitaniumVulpes
Have you ever noticed how, when you sit in this game, your arms become uncomfortably glued to your sides? Have you ever sat like that in real life? It's awkward! Plus it makes your character's arms look absurdly short. A few years ago I fixed it for myself...
Craftable wind chimes
Created by ocksie
Makes wind chimes craftable. That's literally it, I've never made a Starbound mod so this is the first one I'm making since I always found the lack of craftable wind chimes a bit annoying. You can make them with 3 Iron Bars and 3 String at an Industrial Wo...

EPP Bypass Fix
Created by Anter583

Makes glowsticks better in multiple ways. Glowsticks now bounce 3 times before settling, and make a plinking sound when they hit things in this time. Glowstick sprites are fixed too. Throwing strength is higher for glowsticks now, so they go further. Recip...
Hammer Uppercut Improvements
Created by Lemon Drops
The uppercut hammer ability can now be used while running/jumping, and also does 50 more units of vertical knockback. Probably good to use with that enemy fall damage enabler mod (which for some reason doesn't work for me currently, IDK what's up with it.)...
Interactable Apex Pods
Created by Reyquiem
Allows you to use Apex life support pods as if they were furniture. I figured, hey, if we can sit around in Floran cages and Human force prison cells, why not Apex life support pods? Maybe that's not a very good reason, since these things are clearly prett...
Lagless Pixel Printer!
Created by Silver Sokolova
The Pixel Printer is laggy, that's a fact. This mod replaces the Pixel Printer interface with a Lua recreation! You will need to scan objects to add them to the printer after installing this mod unless you use OpenStarbound or StarExtensions. Why use this ...
Lex Bombing Mining

You can find it here in the Chucklefish Forums I always wondered why the bombs destroyed blocks into nothingness. Some day I was really annoyed by that so I searched the workshop for a solution and only found nothingness. So, as I grew up with the Tim Tayl...
M-13's Action Figure Dropchance Tweaks! (Version: B)
I made this mod for 2 reasons: 1. The droprate for action figures is just insanely low. Check the table below to see what i mean. 2. Other mods were not satisfactory enough. Mods that i checked had 1 or more of the following issues: They copy/pasted the ga...

Oil Lantern to Explorer's Lantern

A simple mod that lets you craft the explorer's lantern with an oil lantern. Needless explanation: The explorer's lantern is an early game item, however, it needs oil to be crafted, which isn't always available on garden planets, meaning you may not have a...
Only 15 Fragments
Created by Lemon Drops
For a while I've thought that giving all necessary core fragments at once just for killing the mother poptop kinda cheapened the experience. It disincentivizes exploring the rest of the mine beyond the entrance area, which I think is a shame. So I removed ...
Outpost NPC Preserver
Created by ShyDispatch
Have you ever got yourself a mod that adds more hair options for you and npcs? Maybe a mod that adds more colors for more variety in character customization and how wildly different npcs can be? But then you stop by the Outpost and suddenly the npcs that h...

Wet Rice Farming
