Swatch
by stohun
Swatch adds extra building blocks in new colors, filling gaps in the vanilla palette for builders on Fabric.
What it does
The blocks extend build palettes with colors and materials that the base game does not offer, so decorative work has more options. Several of the new blocks are modeled on vanilla materials, and the set is shown with wall, slab and stair variants. Further blocks are planned by the author, and a NeoForge port is an intention once time allows. Both the server and every player need the mod, and it is released under the MIT License as open source for 1.21 – 1.21.1.
