FyreVariants
by Fyrerae
FyreVariants adds variant blocks for existing Minecraft workstations, such as crafting, fletching and cartography tables, so players can build with more choices.
What it does
Each addition follows the look and behavior of the vanilla block it is based on, so the new variants fit into existing builds and recipes without changing how the originals work. Item forms for the variants are included, and the mod stays close to the vanilla game.
The mod is listed in Decoration, with Adventure and Utility as secondary categories. It runs on NeoForge only, and the server and every player need it, because the variants are placed and crafted on both sides. Files exist for 1.21.1 only, and the latest file is 1.2.0, published 2026-02-09 after a first release on 2026-02-03. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Workstation variants
New variants of crafting, fletching and cartography tables give players more choices for building.
Vanilla-friendly design
The new blocks keep the behavior of the originals, so existing worlds and redstone builds are not disrupted.
Matching items
Item forms of the variant blocks are added alongside the blocks, so they can be crafted, stored and placed.
Stick-based rail recipes
Rail recipes that use sticks and their variants are supported with Polymorph, which the author recommends for choosing between them.

Use cases
Decorating a workshop
Crafting, fletching and cartography tables in matching styles let players furnish a shared workshop or a village trading hall.
Survival base variety
Players who want more visual choices for their work areas can replace plain vanilla tables with variants.
Who it’s for: Builders and players who want more visual options for workstations, and server owners who run NeoForge 1.21.1 and want the variants available to every player.
How it compares
Placeable Maps is a NeoForge 1.21.1 mod for Client and server, released under the MIT License and open source, so it covers the same two sides and the same license. Ciilu's Fletching Table is also open source, under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, and is built for Fabric and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, a wider range of versions than FyreVariants uses.
