Arts & Crafts
With Arts & Crafts, players gain dyed decorated pots, chalk, terracotta shingles, soapstone and other building blocks for decorative builds.
What it does
The mod supplies a range of decorative building blocks, including dyed decorated pots, chalk sticks, painted mud bricks, roof shingles and soapstone. Paintbrushes let players color items, and a lotus flower is added as a plant block. Decorated pots can now be dyed using any sherd as their pattern.
Arts & Crafts requires JinxedLib to run. It is installed on both the client and the server, so every player and the server need both mods. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with the latest builds targeting 26.1.2 and the Forge file for 1.20.1. Four other catalog mods depend on it, among them Arts & Crafts Compatibility and Dynamic Trees - Arts and Crafts.
The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked from its project page. The first release appeared on 2024-06-11, and the most recent update is dated 2026-10-10.
