Backported Shelves
by palm1
Backported Shelves brings the shelves added in the 2025 fall drop to Fabric and Quilt servers, through a server-side datapack.
What it does
The shelves come from a server-side datapack named Filament, which is required together with Polymer. Server owners install the mod on the server, and players join without installing anything. Builds cover 1.21 – 1.21.8 on Fabric and Quilt, and the latest file, 1.0.1+mod, is dated 2025-08-22 under the MIT License. The project is not open source.
Key features
Shelves from a later drop
Shelves from the 2025 fall drop become available on servers that run the mod.
Server-side datapack
The content is delivered by a datapack loaded on the server, so clients receive it without a separate install.
Polymer-based delivery
Polymer handles the block registration, which lets the shelves appear to players while the server runs them.

For the pack's resources to function correctly, you will also need to set "enabled": false to true under /config/polymer/auto-host.json. If you are having problems with placing/breaking sounds (1.21.5+), you can also set "always_handle_vanilla_block_sounds": false to true under /config/polymer/sound-patch.json.
