To keep drifts away from your base, you have to scatter lights in your base, which usually makes it ugly, and makes peacefully enjoying your backyard at a relatively dark environment impossible.
To keep hares away from your farms, you have to build tall fences and avoid grass blocks, which makes open fields and many farmland decorations impossible.
To keep wolfs and bears (and some others?) away from your animals and yourself, you have to build your base away from forests, another limitation for your base.
Maybe there are more that I missed, please help me complete them.
So are there configs and mods that can solve the above issues specifically for your base, without affecting places away from the base.
