Japancraft
by Toomda
Japancraft adds Japanese-style content to Minecraft, including new mobs, structures, biomes, armor, weapons and ores for Fabric players.
What it does
The mod brings traditional Japanese culture, myths, nature and mystical creatures into the world. It adds Princess Mononoke-style structures and a new biome, along with special ores, magical talismans and sacred trees. Tamahagane Ore is rare and only appears underground in Momiji Valley, dropping Tamahagane along with some experience.
Building content covers Tamahagane Block, slabs, stairs, walls, buttons and pressure plates, meant for sturdy and decorative builds. Red Wood planks, fences, gates, doors and trapdoors give a wooden look that matches the set, and Sakura Water provides a fluid inspired by cherry blossoms. Japancraft requires Fabric API and is released under All rights reserved; the mod is not open source, though its source code is public. Files target 1.21.4 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest Fabric file from 2025-09-23.
