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.

FabricQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT License1.21 – 1.21.8

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

  1. Shelves from a later drop

    Shelves from the 2025 fall drop become available on servers that run the mod.

  2. Server-side datapack

    The content is delivered by a datapack loaded on the server, so clients receive it without a separate install.

  3. Polymer-based delivery

    Polymer handles the block registration, which lets the shelves appear to players while the server runs them.

Questions

Does Backported Shelves need to be installed on clients?

No. Only the server has to run the mod, and a player who joins without it can still see the shelves.

Which dependencies does Backported Shelves need?

Polymer and filament are required. Both must be present on the server next to Backported Shelves.

What the author says

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.
