LabUtils
LabUtils brings decorative laboratory pieces to Fabric, including computers, vent shafts, tables, file folders and light strips.
What it does
Blocks in the mod cover a laboratory set: computers, a vent shaft system that players can walk through, tables in several shapes, file folders, and light strips in single and double form. Papers lie on surfaces and change their model when right-clicked, and a screwdriver opens the vent shafts.
The mod is built for decorating research facilities, bunkers and test chambers in survival worlds, adventure maps and creative builds. Because the vent shafts are walkable, builders can route players through a facility rather than only placing them as scenery. Builds exist for 1.20, 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, and the latest file targets 1.20.2.
LabUtils has no required dependencies named in its brief, so Fabric is the only loader it supports. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and the code is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
