Retro converter
Retro Converter lets players switch modern blocks to textures from earlier Minecraft eras, with Alpha, Beta and other classic looks available.
What it does
Using a Retro Conversion Table, compatible blocks can be switched between classic textures and their 1.21.1 appearance, and converted back whenever a player likes. The blocks keep their functionality after conversion, so the change affects looks only. It is published for Fabric and runs on the client and server together, so both sides need it. Builds cover 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, under All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source.
Key features

Retro Conversion Table
A table converts compatible blocks between the modern and classic appearances in place.
