Copper Grate Forge
Copper Grate Forge adds a copper decorative block that emits light, for NeoForge on 1.21.4.
What it does
The mod adds one new block, a copper grate forge, that works as a decoration in builds. Its copper details are meant to suit industrial-chic and workshop designs, and the block is intended to sit in a cozy corner or a cave. It is listed for NeoForge only, with a single build for 1.21.4 released on 2025-06-17.
The block gives off a warm glow at light level 10, so it can light dark caverns and tunnels as well as decorate a room. Both client and server need the mod, so every player on a server that runs it also needs it. The code is not open source, and the project is released under All rights reserved.
The author describes plans for future expansions that would add functions to the block, but no such features are included in the current 1.0.0 file.
