Ultramarine
by LocusAzzurro
Players building in a Chinese style gain several hundred roof, wall, floor and furniture blocks from Ultramarine, which is a decoration mod for Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
The blocks draw on ancient Chinese wooden architecture and interior design. Roof tiles, wooden brackets and caihua blocks cover the structural side, while plain building pieces fill out walls and paths: tiles for floors, stone blocks in several materials, and bricks. Decorations include palace lanterns, vases, bonsai plants and censers, and furniture blocks such as chest-like cabinets and sittable chairs that work as seats.
Textures are 16x16 like vanilla, so the new blocks sit alongside vanilla blocks without a visual clash. Survival mode is supported: the materials and intermediate items used in crafting can be obtained through normal play. The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge with files for 1.18.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The license is a custom one and the code is not open source, though public source code and an issue tracker are linked.
