Dawn of Time
With Dawn of Time installed, builders get more than 350 blocks and furniture pieces drawn from several cultures, all using connected textures.
What it does
The blocks are grouped into cultural sets: French, German, Japanese, Persian, Pre-Columbian and Roman. Each set covers the parts needed to build from cellar to roof, including walls, windows, doors, railings, mosaics and furniture. The Japanese set adds timber frames, paper walls, sliding doors, tatamis and a zen garden kit, while the Roman set adds columns, friezes, marble statues and roof tiles in several colors.
Fusion is required as a dependency, and Dawn of Time is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for 1.12.2, 1.14.4, 1.16.5, 1.19.2, 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.8, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, under the MIT License, and the source code is public.
