Vintage Beams

by sylphique

Vintage Beams adds Vintage Story style angled support beams to Minecraft, letting players build fine detail that vanilla blocks cannot reach as directly.

NeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

What it does

Players place angled beams that can cross gaps and sit at any angle to a surface. Beams come in the wood types of the game, and modded wood types installed through EveryCompat are included too. Each beam takes the texture of the plank it is made from, so texture packs apply to beams as well.

To place a beam, the first right-click sets the starting point and a second one completes it. Left-click, or scrolling the hotbar, cancels a placement in progress. Beams are drawn above surrounding blocks, and a priority system places the most recent beam last, which avoids z-fighting and texture overlap.

The mod is compatible with several mods, including Create contraptions and Aeronautics sublevels. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest file.

Key features

  1. Angled support beams

    Beams can be placed at an angle to a surface, which allows Vintage Story style framing.

  2. Wood and modded wood types

    Beams are available in each wood type, including modded wood types added by EveryCompat.

  3. Two-click placement

    A beam starts with one right-click and is finished with a second, so its full length is set in one action.

  4. Overlap-free rendering

    Beams are rendered above the rest of the scene, and the placement priority keeps overlapping textures from flickering.

Use cases

Detailed building

Beams allow detail in builds that would otherwise be hard to make with standard blocks.

Modded worlds

Beams work alongside Create contraptions and Aeronautics sublevels, so they can frame machinery.

Who it’s for: Builders who want angled framing and detail work in Minecraft, and server owners who run NeoForge 1.21.1 with the mod on both sides.

Questions

Does Vintage Beams need to be installed on the server?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

Which loader does Vintage Beams support?

Only NeoForge. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 and no other loader.

Do texture packs change how beams look?

Yes. Beams take the texture of the plank they are made from, so a texture pack that changes planks also changes beams.
