I'm Trying

by Kaicillin

I'm Trying is a Fabric decoration and utility mod that adds custom blocks, items and particles for Minecraft 1.21.5, built by Kaicillin as a personal project.

FabricClient and serverCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.01.21.5

What it does

The mod adds a small set of custom content: a 3x3 water lilies block, a test block with exclamation points and a clear body, a two-block purple edge cube with see-through faces, a themed item named Test Thing, and a particle set themed on bees and souls, including Le Apis Bee, Innocent Soul, Ascending Soul and Mature Soul. Several of these are placeholders used for surround testing, so the content is still early. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on the client and on the server.

The author describes the project as an attempt at a personal mod with some lore behind it, and says it is being shared alongside a custom server used for lore purposes. Future plans include a feature that lets players throw or toss a spin decoration, but nothing like that is in the build. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license, so it is not open source, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Use cases

Surround testing

The test blocks and placeholder items are used as surround testing sites while the content is being built.

Custom server content

The author uses the mod on a custom server for lore purposes, so the content can appear in server-side builds.

Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want experimental decoration content and particles from a personal project. The mod is at an early stage, and its files are beta builds, so it suits testing rather than a stable setup.

Questions

Does I'm Trying need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is the required dependency, so it must be installed alongside the mod on Fabric for 1.21.5.

Does the server need the mod?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

What the author says

These are for a project of mines, for a custom server so they have some lore purposes (although they may seem random) that I am not sharing yet. The particles have backstory behind them too, but this mod was made with a semi specific use in mind.
