Old blocks from Pocket Edition
by MisterCosmos
Old Blocks Pocket Edition recreates blocks and behaviors from the early Minecraft Pocket Edition, for NeoForge 1.21.1.
What it does
The blocks bring back the original look and geometry of early Pocket Edition, such as the classic obsidian and bedrock appearance. Invisible Bedrock reproduces the map tricks of older versions, where some structures stay hidden until the player finds them. A Camera Block works as an interactive observation point, and Boundary Walls set Allow or Deny rules that control where a player can move, which suits arenas and puzzles in custom maps.
The Functional Reactor Block is the centerpiece of the set. Once activated, it teleports the player in the way the infamous hell box did in the original Pocket Edition. Glowing Obsidian is a visually distinct obsidian variant with a subtle glow for decorative builds. Mapmakers and players who want to recreate classic gameplay moments will find the block behaviors and interactions reproduced closely.
The mod uses the NeoForge loader and targets 1.21.1 only. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. External dependencies are required, and the mod can be included in a pack or custom map with little setup. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
