HELP! I'm being framed!
by noobstar
HELP! I'm being framed! adds framed blocks to Minecraft, letting players set a block's texture and shape through a frame built from other blocks.
What it does
Framed blocks take the texture of the block they are made from, so a single frame can look like stone, wood or any other block while keeping its own shape. The mod adds several types of frames, each with different shapes, for decorating walls, floors and furniture.
The mod runs on Fabric and is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, so the code is open source. Client and server both need it, so a server and every player who joins must install it. Fabric API is required, and the author's notes say version 1.1 added Conrad to configure parts of Framed. Files exist for 1.16.4 and 1.16.5, with 1.1 for 1.16.5 as the latest one.
Key features
Textured frame blocks
A frame takes the texture of the block placed inside it, so the surface matches the surrounding build.
Several frame shapes
Different frame types cover full blocks, slabs and other shapes for finer decorative detail.
Customizable textures
Frame textures can be changed, so builders can match a frame to the look of a particular material.
Configurable parts
Certain parts of the mod can be adjusted through the Conrad configuration library, added in version 1.1.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Decorative walls and floors
Builders can use frames to create surfaces that show a different material while keeping a uniform shape.
Who it’s for: Decorators and builders on Fabric who want more control over how blocks look in their constructions, and server owners who want the mod available to every player.
How it compares
ReFramed also covers frame-based decoration on Fabric and runs on client and server, but it targets 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 and is not open source, since its license is MIT AND LGPL-3.0. FramedBlocks Unofficial Fabric is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, with versions 1.21.11 – 26.2, so it covers newer game versions. Fancy Glass is open source under the MIT License and built for 1.20.1 only.
