What it does

Brushes gain new uses on blocks: a brush can change the color of a colorful block, and a wet brush can remove dye. Moss can be removed with brushes, and a chance to drop moss carpet or vines is added. Pets that carry paint brushes help farm string and remove moss more quickly.

Better Brushes runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a Data pack version is also available. The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files target 1.21 – 1.21.1.
