What it does

Flax foraged from plants and silk from cobwebs and wisps feed into the mod's crafting chain. A bundle can soak flax stalks to make twine, and blossoms from mature flax yield dyes in several types. Twine is crafted into plain bolts of fabric, with linen as an intermediary ingredient.

The mod adds a new early-game storage solution, a cheap portable 4x2 inventory, heavily inspired by Supplementaries and crafted from linen. It also includes a backport of the Wily Textiles content for Minecraft 1.12, coded by Phantamanta and supervised by Foreck. Retted fiber bales placed in water need Fluidlogged, which is required for waterlogging raw fiber bales. Players without it have to set raw fiber bales on top of source water blocks.

Only the client and server need the mod to be installed, and every player joining a server that runs it needs it too. Files are published for Forge 1.12.2 only, with 1.5 as the latest file from 2026-10-08.

Key features

  1. Flax and silk materials

    Flax, flax stalks and silk thread from wisps and cobwebs supply the textile chain, so players are not limited to spider string.

  2. Dyes from flax blossoms

    Blossoms from mature flax can be used to craft dyes of several types.

  3. Portable linen sack storage

    A cheap portable 4x2 inventory stores items and can capture dropped ones, adding an early-game storage option.

  4. Backported wandering trader gaps

    Wandering trader trades are not present in 1.12, so the backport leaves out features that depend on them.
