Previews
by skirazavr
Previews is a Forge and NeoForge library that creates previews of the content players look at, built for the 26.2 game version.
What it does
The mod is a library that other mods can use to create previews. It targets only 26.2, with a Forge build and a NeoForge build both published on 2026-08-12. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it and players install it alone.
The author describes it as a simple mod, made to cover the same needs on NeoForge and Forge for 26.2. Area rendering in the style of the structure view exists only on Fabric for 26.2 at the time of writing, which is why the author built this one. Interface text is available in 30 European languages.
