Blopedit
by ArkoSammy12
Blopedit is a Fabric client-side mod for editing the block.properties file that Iris shader packs use to give blocks visual properties.
What it does
Shader packs read a block.properties file to assign visual properties such as physically based rendering traits to different blocks. Blopedit lets a player change those entries through commands while the game is running, instead of editing the file by hand. Each entry begins with a block identifier made of a namespace, which shows the block's origin such as minecraft for vanilla or a mod ID for modded blocks, followed by a path that names the block, and an optional list of state properties written as name=value pairs.
The mod needs Fabric API and Iris Shaders. It works with Physically Based Rendering, the approach that gives effects like animated leaves and glowing ores their look. Blopedit runs on the client only, so a server does not need it, and it is open source under the MIT License, targeting game versions 1.20.1 – 1.20.4.
Key features
Live editing of shader block entries
Commands change block.properties entries from inside the game, with no need to reopen the shader pack file.
Entries that add new properties
A new entry can be created from a source entry, and a destination entry describes how the shader should treat the source block.
Matching by identifier or property
Matches can use only identifiers, both identifiers and properties, or properties on either the source or destination side.
Modded blocks with shaders
Entries can reference modded block identifiers, so blocks from other mods can receive the same visual settings as vanilla blocks.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who use Iris shader packs with Fabric and want to adjust how blocks look, including modded blocks. It is a client-side tool, so it applies to single-player worlds and to a player's own client on a server.
How it compares
Fast Custom Head works on Fabric for 1.19.2 – 1.20.2 and is not open source; it can run on a client or a server. Simple Creator is open source under the MIT License, covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.4 and needs both client and server. Blopedit is limited to client-side use on 1.20.1 – 1.20.4 and stays inside the shader file.
