Custom Anchors
by cutebow
Custom Anchors is a Fabric decoration mod that lets players recolor respawn anchors, change their transparency and adjust the End Gateway style.
What it does
Custom Anchors changes how respawn anchors look on the client. A color tint can be picked with a selector, and a transparency slider sets how much of the block shows through. The mod also covers the End Gateway effect that appears on the anchor, with a toggle and a scale setting for the gateway block.
Enchanted anchors get their own controls: a glint toggle, a choice among several glint types, a glint scale setting, a glint tint selector and a glint transparency toggle with its own slider. A preview screen lets players see charges, charge amount, anchor motion and rotation smoothing before applying changes, along with edit options for preview scale, location and background.
The mod is client-side only, so servers and other players do not need it. Installation requires Fabric. Files are published for 1.21 – 1.21.11 across 10 release versions, with the most recent file, 0.0.5, built for 1.21.11. The glint and Vulkan features are described for 1.21.11, and versions below that run with vanilla rendering. It is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
