Inessentials
by SaddestShark
Inessentials lets players recolor stained glass, terracotta, concrete and concrete powder, and adds craftable bells and cobwebs.
What it does
The mod adds recipes for blocks that vanilla Minecraft does not craft, and it changes the color of existing blocks through crafting. Stained glass, stained glass panes, terracotta, glazed terracotta, concrete and concrete powder can each be recolored, so a build can use a different shade without finding a new block. Bells and cobwebs become craftable as well.
Both loaders are supported, with Fabric files for 1.20.1 and Forge files for 1.20.4. Inessentials is published under the MIT License and is not open source. Because it changes recipes, the environment is client and server: the server and every player need the mod for the recipes to match. Snapshot builds are not published.
Key features
Recolorable stained glass
Stained glass and stained glass panes take a new color through a crafting recipe.
Recolorable terracotta
Terracotta and glazed terracotta can be dyed to other shades, giving more palette options in builds.
Recolorable concrete
Concrete and concrete powder can be recolored with a recipe that keeps the original block in place.
Craftable bell and cobweb
The bell and the cobweb are added as recipes, so they can be made from ordinary materials instead of being found.
