What it does

Visual Overhaul changes how five vanilla blocks look: the Jukebox, Brewing Stand, Furnace, Smoker and Blast Furnace. Its newest build also adds a way to obtain the record from a jukebox that works without the server running the mod. Menu buttons gain icons, and an optional setting tints items to match the biome a player is standing in.

Each block visual is separate, so a server running the mod can keep some overhauls while leaving others out. The biome tints, particles and button icons run on the player's side alone, while the block overhauls need the server to run the mod too. Players must turn on the bundled resource packs in the resource pack selection screen before the changes show.

The mod requires Fabric API and MidnightLib. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. Files cover 1.16 – 1.21.4 for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Overhauled vanilla blocks

    The Jukebox, Brewing Stand, Furnace, Smoker and Blast Furnace receive new textures and models.

  2. Biome-tinted items

    When enabled, items take on tints that match the biome the player is currently in.

  3. Menu button icons

    Buttons in menus display icons instead of plain text labels.

  4. Record retrieval from jukeboxes

    A record can be taken from a jukebox without the server running any part of the mod.

Questions

Which loaders does Visual Overhaul support?

Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with the latest Forge file being 5.0.1-forge for 1.20.1.

Does the server need Visual Overhaul?

No. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so a server can run the mod or leave it out, and a player can join either way.

Why do the bundled resource packs need to be enabled?

The visuals are delivered through resource packs included with the mod, so they only apply after they are selected in the resource pack screen.

In the catalog

What the author says

This minecraft fabric mod overhauls the visuals of certain vanilla blocks. Currently, it overhauls the Jukebox, the Brewing Stand, the Furnace, the Smoker and the Blast Furnace. If enabled, it will also color items based on the current biome, which looks super dope.
