Drops Backport
by Rebel459
Drops Backport brings the game's newest drops to Fabric and NeoForge 26.1 – 26.1.2, with Sulfur Caves, Sulfur Cube and Cinnabar blocks, a bounce music disc and a backported set of changes.
What it does
The mod backports the content of recent game drops to earlier builds. Its Sulfur Caves, Sulfur Cube Bucket, Sulfur blocks and Cinnabar blocks sit beside a new Bounce music disc and fresh background music. Armadillos now stay rolled up longer, and liquids behave differently under the revised rules. Behaviour is copied from the newer releases as closely as possible, and the content is kept at feature parity.
Each release needs Unified API, which is listed as a required dependency. Drops Backport runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge across 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, and the mod is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the mod is open source. Optional support for Lithostitched improves biome placement and surface rule injection.
