Ched's Realism Mod
by HydroxFrost
Ched's Realism Mod is a building decoration mod for city and town builders, with over 700 models for outdoor details, commercial decor, roads and streets.
What it does
Players use the models to decorate houses, shops and streets, aiming for a realistic look at building scale. Current sections include outdoor details, commercial and business decor, and roads and street decor. The author notes that foliage is one area with limited coverage and that further models may be added later.
Ched's Realism CTM, Forgified Fabric API, MidnightLib, Puzzle and Sinytra Connector are required dependencies. Puzzle is the one to check first when black and purple squares appear, since it is needed for the textures to load. The mod is Client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is in creative mode only. Files exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, and the Forge support has been dropped in newer releases.
