KantoModels
by CobbleKanto
KantoModels is a Fabric decoration mod with over 280 Kanto-inspired models, plus a converter block that trades currency items for them.
What it does
The set includes Kanto-inspired props for many rooms and areas, such as lab equipment, city decorations, cave details and gym pieces, and it is meant for building custom maps. The mod was originally made for the CobbleKanto project and is shared with other map builders who want more decorative blocks. Blocks use custom shapes with directional placement, and some can open custom dialogue screens when clicked.
The KantoModels Converter block works like a simple exchange table: it opens a trade screen where players spend supported currency items, such as copper ingots and Poke Balls, to obtain decorative models. This suits servers and adventure maps where players should earn decorations without being given creative access. The mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it, and it is published for 1.21.1 with the latest Fabric file at 1.3.5 from 2026-06-09.
