TatamiCraft: Japanese Building Blocks
by ShowKa
Players building Japanese-style rooms can add tatami mats, shoji screens and fusuma panels with TatamiCraft: Japanese Building Blocks, a decoration mod for Fabric and NeoForge.
What it does
TatamiCraft adds traditional Japanese building blocks, led by tatami mats, along with shoji, fusuma and other architectural elements for authentic houses, temples and inns. Tatami are crafted from wheat and string, and a full mat can be split into two half tatami. The blocks take the standard Minecraft dyes, giving the mats more than ten additional colors.
Fusuma panels are meant to match the tatami floors and the other Japanese blocks, so washitsu rooms and sliding partitions look consistent. The thin tatami design resembles carpets, which makes it practical for floors and interior decoration. The mod is lightweight and focused on building rather than new mechanics.
