TuffBlocks
by MaximeriX
TuffBlocks adds tuff block variants to older Minecraft versions, so tuff can be used as a building block there too.
What it does
The mod backports tuff variants, including polished tuff and tuff bricks, into earlier game versions. Each variant is crafted from recipes that follow the ones documented on the Minecraft Wiki, so builders on older worlds get the same palette without updating the game.
Client and server must both run the mod, so every player on a server that runs it needs it too. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across 27 release versions, with the latest file 1.2-1.20.6 for 1.20.6 dated 2026-05-19. The source code is open source under the MIT License, and an issue tracker is linked from the project.

Multi-version packs
Modpack makers who ship several game versions can use the same tuff blocks across every listed build.
Who it’s for: Builders and modpack makers who want tuff variants on older Minecraft versions. Because the environment is client and server, server owners need the mod too if players are to use the blocks there.
How it compares
Several other mods add tuff or stone variants with different setups. That's Tuff is a Forge-only mod for 1.20.1, client and server, under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Craftable Tuff works on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21.5 – 26.3, but it is server required with client optional and is released under All rights reserved. No More Stone Variants covers 1.19 – 1.21.1 on four loaders, also server required with client optional, under the MIT License.
