RetroRevisions
by xvx
RetroRevisions brings blocks and behaviours from newer Minecraft versions back to the 1.2.5 release through Forge.
What it does
The mod backports features from later Minecraft versions into 1.2.5, adding new blocks such as Netherite Block and a Decoration Block. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Forge files exist for 1.2.5 only, with 1.63 as the latest, and the code is released under the MIT License as open source.
Key features
Daylight and night detectors
Daylight Night Detectors read the time of day and emit a redstone pulse when night or day begins.
Redstone stairs
Redstone Stairs change direction when they receive a powered redstone signal.
Item frames
Item frames cannot be placed next to other blocks, and an item inside a frame is not dropped when the frame is destroyed.
