Dary's Decoratives: Curtains

12 September 2026: Beta bugfix

(!) Ignore the placeholder Noren blocks for future curtains (unavailable for players) and related issues in the logs, these would be resolved after the Noren release !

• Fixed swapped names for Beige and Linen Portieres and Day-night curtains
• Fixed crash with DyeDepot mod installed
• Hopefully fixed lags when looking on the curtains ( ?) - needs more testing, because I personally didn't experience this issue)
• Small code clean-up

WORK IN PROGRESS:

• BUGFIX: blinds no longer connect to the glass panes behind them (done)
• Registry code restructured (done for now)
• Added proper Emerald and Linen Drapes (done)
• "Privacy curtains" : 21 colored basic curtains with one side transparent, one solid (just for fun and mini-games!) (done)
• WIP: traditional Japanese/Chinese Noren curtains with several variations: simple solid colors (done), 1-panel CTM, fixed 2*2 "Painting", fixed 2*3 "Painting" and fixed 3*3 "Painting" (wip, code done, textures in progress)
• WIP (possibly ? ): strings curtains
• WIP (possibly ? ): banner-like hangings based on Noren behavior, but with a european fantasy-medieval theme

CHANGELOG

21 August 2026: small additions:

• Replaced sticks in recipes with proper tag to ensure better compatibility with modded sticks
• Added Spring Blossom and Sea Stripes painted curtains and wool blocks, that were accidentally forgotten in the code, but already had assets :-D
• Portieres are now walk-through (this makes more sense!)

13 August 2026:

HUGE UPDATE!

Dary's Decoratives: Curtains (or simply DD Curtains) is a part of (hopefully) upcoming series of "small" themed decorative mods.

Dary's Decoratives:

• DD Mosaic Glass
• DD Curtains
• work in progress...

This mod is an attempt to create an ultimate curtains mod, that will add many kinds of window dressings over time. Currently, it contains of:

• Curtains
• Sheer Curtains
• Beaded Curtains
• Blinds
• Roller Curtains
• Portiere
• PVC Curtains
• Lace and voile curtains
• Curtains with painted patterns
• Sheer curtains with painted patterns
• Drapes curtains
• Beaded Curtains with patterns
• Day-night shades
• Base "concrete" colors blinds
• Painted Wool blocks aka wallpaper

All fabric, beaded curtains and portieres are available in 16 minecraft colours+5 new ( emerald, linen, beige, crimson, lilac ). Blinds are available in all minecraft wood types. PVC are just the single curtain kind to honour the will of an unknown person on Reddit, whose post I came across one day :-D .

! If you right-click the curtains block with a similar kind of curtain in hand, this curtain will be placed below the existing ones in that column, allowing them to be easily extended without pixel-hunting.

Use SHEARS to break the curtains instantly!

Curtains and Sheer Curtains and Beaded Curtains have the same complex behavior:

• When right_clicked, they will cycle the current column through different available positions (opened to the left, to the right, closed and fully opened)
• When Shift-right-clicked, they will open neatly for the whole window
• If the redstone signal is present, the curtains will be opened for the whole window (daylight-sensor friendly designs!)
• Curtains of all colors, as well as sheer and non-sheer and beaded can be combined to create intricate window dressings of any legth

Roller curtains have their behavior too:

• When right_clicked, they will open/close for the whole window
• If the redstone signal is present, the roller curtains will be opened/closed for the whole window

Blinds :

• When right_clicked, they will close/open
• When Shift-right-clicked, they will raise upwards for the whole window
• If the redstone signal is present, the blinds will be raised for the whole window

Portieres:

No special behavior, just hanging down with a royal grace and handle some simple ctm logic. Can be used to decorate walls, doorways or windows by themselves or with another curtains nearby.

PVC curtains:

No special behavior, just hanging out to please some engineer's aesthetics.

Important! This mod offers some neat configurable options too. Check the config file to:

• Set the light blocking level for non-transparent curtains. Blackout curtains are cool, but may be a bit annoying due to the minecraft light engine.
• Enable/disable accurate bounding boxes for curtains. Invisible curtains will not have the bounding boxes to click on this way. Read carefully the configuration description and choose what you prefer.
• Enable/ disable ambient chime when an entity collides with the beaded curtains
