Vanilla Shutters
by boyonk
Vanilla Shutters adds window shutters for Fabric that can be opened, closed and driven by redstone, so players can control how much light enters a building.
What it does
The mod adds vertical trapdoors and one-block-high doors that decorate windows, along with approach shutters. Shutters block out light, which gives some privacy control over the lighting inside a room. Each shutter can be opened or closed by hand, and redstone can send a signal up or down instantly to switch it.
Shutters are waterloggable, so they can be placed underwater, where they block out the sun the same way. The mod supports Biomes O Plenty, BetterEnd and BetterNether, and includes more than 15 variants built from common vanilla materials. Fences, panes and walls do not connect to shutters, which keeps the look of a window intact.
Vanilla Shutters is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, across 12 release versions, and the latest Fabric file targets 1.21.11. Pine is optional, and Fabric API is required. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
