About this project

What does Older Blocks add?

Instead of using a traditional resource pack that forces you to choose between old and new textures, this mod allows you to seamlessly mix and match both! It reintroduces classic pre-1.13.2 textures as brand-new, standalone block variants. This gives you full access to a nostalgic palette, unlocking diverse creativity and giving you the freedom to build exactly the way you want in modern vanilla Minecraft!

Currently available for Forge 1.20.1 to 1.20.6, this mod expands your creative toolkit without replacing a single modern texture.

Planned Features:

  • Cobblestone and various shapes/stair variants
  • Classic 3 Stones (Andesite, Granite, Diorite)
  • Nostalgic End Stone and Purpur blocks
  • Classic fences, walls, trapdoors, and doors
  • Retro mineral and gem blocks (like the classic Gold Block)
  • Ports for Fabric and NeoForge mod loaders
  • Support for newer and older Minecraft versions
