The Blocktaker
The Blocktaker is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.8 that adds a set of music discs and paintings inspired by the Caretaker's music and artwork.
What it does
Players get 63 music discs in the creative inventory, each named after songs from the Caretaker's catalog such as Everywhere, End Time, Empty Bliss and Beyond the World. The discs are only obtainable in creative mode, so survival players cannot collect them through normal play.
A set of paintings depicts scenes tied to the EATEOT stage and the AEBBTW album. The paintings list names drawn from lyric lines and track titles, including Beaten Frowns and several Ivan Seal entries. Only the client needs the mod for the discs to play, while the server must also run it so the items exist there.
Files are released for NeoForge only, covering the single game version 1.21.8, with 1.0.0 as the latest build published on 2026-01-22. The code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
