Cushion Backup
by TwipsTm
Cushion Backup brings cushions back to Fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11, letting players sit on placed blocks in sixteen dyeable colors.
What it does
Right-clicking a placed cushion lets a player sit on it, and pressing the sneak key, Shift by default, stands the player back up. The cushions are decorative blocks meant for seating, pillows and floor padding, and they come in the sixteen dyeable Minecraft colors so they can match couches and other furniture in a build.
The mod is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.11 and needs Fabric API. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The author TwipsTm published the only file, version 1.0.2 for 1.21.11, on 2026-07-14, and the code is licensed under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Custom sound effects play when a cushion is placed, when a player sits down, when the player gets up and when a cushion is broken. The author describes the mod as a simple backport that adds cushions to older versions of the game, which is the purpose of the mod's name.

Use cases
Furnished rooms
Cushions placed around tables and couches give a room a lived-in look, with seats players can use.
Backporting cushions
Players on 1.21.11 who want cushions from earlier versions of the game can add them with this mod.
Who it’s for: Builders decorating houses and interiors, and server owners who want seating that every player can use. Because the mod runs on both client and server, it works in single-player and on multiplayer servers alike once it is installed on both sides.
