Clustersback

by hugeblank

Clustersback brings raw iron and raw gold cluster blocks, which newer Minecraft releases already include, into the 1.16.5 world so they can be placed and mined on Fabric.

What it does

Raw iron and raw gold clusters are added to 1.16.5 as placeable blocks with their drops. Textures, loot tables and recipes are supplied by the mod, which is what lets the blocks behave the way they do in newer releases. The mod depends on Fabric API, so it cannot start without that library installed.

Clustersback runs on the client and on the server, and both must carry it so that the clusters appear the same on each side. The mod is published only for Fabric, and its single release targets 1.16.5. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the code is released under the MIT License, so the project is open source.

The first launch needs an internet connection, because the mod gets the game assets it depends on from the version fetch the launcher already performs. Those assets are then cached locally, so later launches work offline.

Key features

  1. Raw iron cluster blocks

    Adds raw iron clusters as placeable blocks that drop raw iron when broken, matching the newer ore style.

  2. Raw gold cluster blocks

    Adds raw gold clusters as placeable blocks alongside the iron version, with their own loot and textures.

  3. Supplied textures and recipes

    Textures, loot tables and recipes for the clusters ship inside the mod and are used in place of any missing vanilla entries.

  4. Cached game assets

    Assets are fetched on first launch and cached, so the blocks continue to load after the initial fetch.

Questions

Does Clustersback need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside Clustersback on Fabric for 1.16.5.

Does Clustersback have to be installed on the server?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

Why does the first launch need an internet connection?

The mod fetches the game assets it needs on first launch and caches them, so a connection is required only the first time.
