Macaw's Windows
by sketchmacaw
Players who want windows with shutters, blinds, curtains or mosaic glass can add them to builds with Macaw's Windows, which provides many decorative window blocks.
What it does
Macaw's Windows adds a large set of window blocks for building. Many of them can be opened, closed or locked, and the set includes blinds, mosaic glass and mosaic glass panes, one way glass, parapets and sills, gothic windows, shutters, curtains and arrow slits.
The blocks are decorative and target building projects in survival worlds, creative builds and modpacks. Fabric API is required on every loader, so it has to be installed alongside the mod. Macaw's Windows is used by Faithful Backrooms as a dependency.
Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 31 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.3, with 2.4.2 for 26.3 as the latest file. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is covered by All rights reserved and is not open source.

How it compares
Aesthetic Windows is open source under the MIT License and runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.18.2 – 1.21.1, so its version range is narrower than the one Macaw's Windows covers. Shuttered is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later and is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1. Mosaic is not open source, is covered by All rights reserved and is published for Fabric and Forge across 1.16.5 – 1.19.4.
