BetterBrushes adds more brush variants to the Equipment category and revises how brushes are crafted in Forge worlds.

ForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.3

What it does

The mod expands the set of brushes a player can use and replaces the textures of the existing ones. Crafting recipes for brushes were also corrected. It runs on the client and the server, so both need it. Forge is the only loader, with builds for 1.20.1, 1.20.6, 1.21, 1.21.1 and 1.21.3. The source code is public, and the code is released under the MIT License, which makes it open source.

Key features

  1. Additional brush types

    New brush variants give players more choices of tool for brushing blocks.

  2. Refreshed brush textures

    The brush models now use updated textures in the inventory and in the hand.

  3. Corrected crafting

    Crafting for brushes was fixed, so the recipes produce the intended items.
