ShadowPrint
by ShadowX456
ShadowPrint introduces a 3D printer block, printing filament and a set of printed items to a Fabric world running Minecraft 26.1.2.
What it does
A custom technology block, the 3D printer, turns filament into finished items. Filament is the raw printing material, and each printed item is a separate recipe built on the printer. The mod sets the crafting chain around the printer rather than adding a single decorative object, so progress in a world moves through printing steps.
The mod is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 26.1.2 only. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Its files are released under All rights reserved, which means the code is not open source, and the latest Fabric build is 1.1.0 for 26.1.2, dated 2026-06-25.
ShadowPrint was first published on 2026-06-16 by ShadowX456 and is filed in the Technology category, with Game mechanics, Management and Utility as secondary categories. The author describes the mechanics as futuristic, and the catalog lists 1134 Technology mods with Fabric files for the same version.
