Missing Texture Block
by Emery319
Missing Texture Block is a Forge and NeoForge mod that adds one decorative block with a magenta and black placeholder texture, plus a set of cursed variants that decay over time.
What it does
The block is crafted from Black Concrete and Magenta Concrete, and it matches concrete in both hardness and blast resistance, so it can stand in for regular building material. The map shows it as a transparent texture. Six variants are included.
When a player replaces a block with a Missing Texture Block, the placed block slowly decays over time. Another use is a tool-like item: it breaks after its charges are used up, and the charges are restored with more Missing Texture Blocks. The mod is craftable and runs on the Forge and NeoForge loaders. It is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source. Builds cover 1.16.5 – 1.21.1 across seven release versions.
Key features
Missing texture block
A decorative block with the magenta and black placeholder look, usable in builds like any concrete.
Concrete-level durability
Its hardness and blast resistance match concrete, so it survives the same explosions and tools.
Six variants

Decaying replacements
Replacing a block with the special Missing Texture Block causes the replaced block to decay over time.

Use cases
Cursed builds
Players who want a glitched or placeholder look for a base, a map or a server build can place the block in walls and floors.
Charged item play
The item version breaks after its charges run out and recharges from more Missing Texture Blocks, which suits challenge runs.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want a placeholder-texture decoration for builds, on Forge or NeoForge for 1.16.5 – 1.21.1. Both sides need the mod, so the server and each player install it.
