MCRenaissance
by immolatio
MCRenaissance is a Forge decoration mod for 1.12.2 that reverts an earlier combat update and fills gaps in the block set.
What it does
The mod reverts a combat update from the game's history and returns 1.12.2 to its earlier fighting rules. It also adds block variants such as wall, stair and fence forms for blocks that already exist, which fills gaps the vanilla set leaves open. Client and server both need it, so every player on a server that runs it has to install it too.
Its author describes the work as AI-assisted with careful human checking for quality. The project is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved, and files exist only for Forge 1.12.2, with the latest file, 0.2, marked alpha and published on 2026-06-10.
