obsidian29's Tuff Backport
by obsidian29
obsidian29's Tuff Backport brings tuff blocks from a newer Minecraft release into 1.20.1 and 1.20.2 as a Fabric mod for players who want them now.
What it does
Tuff Backport adds tuff blocks from a later experimental set to the 1.20.1 and 1.20.2 releases. Its tuff tiles use textures taken from a later client jar, and the author states that those tile textures are the team's own work, so the tiles are removed together with the mod. The mod fits decoration builds, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it.
The mod is built to work next to Vanilla Backport, and its tuff tiles can be added or removed while Vanilla Backport is present. The author notes a plan to update the mod safely to later Minecraft versions. Game versions with files are 1.20.1 and 1.20.2. The newest file is 2.0.0 for 1.20.2, dated 2026-10-05. The mod is published for Fabric only and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
