Rounded
by lumiscosity
Rounded adds a set of vanilla-style blocks and mechanics to the base game, including planks that keep mobs away, a trough that feeds animals and a moisture detector.
What it does
Rounded extends the base game with small additions that sit alongside vanilla content. Treated Planks are made from some planks and honeycomb, and mobs will not walk over them. Put some grain into a trough and nearby animals recover health, while young animals in its reach grow up faster. The Moisture Detector block reports whether it is rain or water in the block above it, and it can read either state.
Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric, and the mod also loads on Quilt. Rounded is open source under the MIT License, with its source code and issue tracker public. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for 1.20.1, 1.21 and 1.21.1, and the latest build is version 1.1.2 for 1.21.1, released on 2025-05-23. The current release is titled Water Cycle Update, and the mod was first published on 2024-06-22.
Key features
Treated Planks
Planks made with honeycomb keep mobs from walking over them, which can shape where animals move around a farm.
Feeding trough
Stocking a trough with grain restores the health of animals close by and speeds up how fast babies mature, so breeding setups can be arranged around it.
Moisture Detector
The block above it decides its output, reporting whether rain or water is present, for use in automated builds.
Vanilla-style additions
Further blocks and items extend the base game in the same style, so existing worlds gain new content without a separate world type.
