by ShiroJR

FabricClient and serverGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20.1

What it does

Each variant reuses a vanilla material such as stone, logs, glass or wool, and its texture is mapped automatically so resource packs can restyle it. The variations change only the look of a block, with no gameplay difference from the base block.

The mod is a separate block variation system that the main NeMuelch mod depends on, which keeps variant handling in one place and makes it easier to maintain. Its code can be reused by other projects on its own. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on Minecraft 1.20.1 only.

Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. The latest Fabric file, 0.4.0-1.20.1, was published on 2026-08-24, and the first release came on 2026-04-02.

Key features

  1. Over 90 variations

    More than 90 block variations are built from eight or more base block types, giving decorators many finishes to choose from.

  2. Vanilla material textures

    Variants take their textures from familiar materials such as stone, logs, glass and wool, so they blend with vanilla blocks.

  3. Automatic texture mapping

    Textures are mapped to each variant automatically, and resource packs can replace them.

  4. Consistent block behavior

    Every variant behaves like its base block, so building with them carries no hidden gameplay differences.

  5. Reusable variation system

    The variation system is packaged separately from the main mod, so other projects can build on it independently.

Use cases

Decorative building

Builders can pick a variant of a familiar material to add detail to walls, floors and facades without changing how blocks behave.

Resource pack styling

Because textures are mapped automatically, a resource pack can restyle the whole set of variants at once.

Who it’s for: Builders and decorators on Fabric 1.20.1 who want more finishes for vanilla materials, and server owners who run the main NeMuelch mod and want its variants available to players.
