Horizontal Backport
by Mutous
Horizontal Backport brings horizontal glass panes and horizontal iron bars to Minecraft 1.7.10 on Forge, as a backport of the Horizontal Glass Panes mod.
What it does
Horizontal glass panes and horizontal iron bars are added as placeable blocks in the 1.7.10 version of the game. Their transparency and their blast resistance and hardness match the vanilla glass pane and iron bars. The mod is a rewrite of Horizontal Glass Panes, inspired by the work of witchica, and carries its functions over to the older game version.
The mod is designed for Minecraft 1.7.10 with Forge 10.13.4.1614. It is published as a single Forge file for that version only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Installing it means replacing the mod jar in a fresh install, and it is released under the MIT License as open source code.
Source code is published publicly. The first file appeared on 2024-05-28 and the latest file, 1.0.0 for 1.7.10, dates from 2024-05-30.
Key features
Horizontal glass panes
Glass panes can be placed in a horizontal orientation, which lets builders run thin glass walls across floors and ceilings.
Horizontal iron bars
Iron bars can likewise be placed horizontally, giving the same thin barrier shape in the ceiling and floor directions.
Vanilla-matching blocks
Both blocks keep the blast resistance and hardness of their vanilla counterparts, so they behave the same way in combat and mining.
Transparency
The horizontal blocks keep the see-through quality of the originals, so light and sight pass through them as usual.

Use cases
Building on 1.7.10
Builders who keep a 1.7.10 world can add horizontal panes and bars to ceilings and floors without changing the rest of the game.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who play Minecraft 1.7.10 with Forge and want horizontal glass panes or iron bars for building. Both sides need the mod.
How it compares
Horizontal Glass Panes is the original mod this backport rewrites. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 26.2, so it covers newer versions that Horizontal Backport does not. Loot Beams Backport is a client-side only Forge mod for 1.7.10 under the MIT License, so players can run it without a server installing anything.
