About this project

What does Backported Shelf add?

Backported Shelf (1.20.1 - Fabric)

This mod backports the vanilla Shelf block to Minecraft 1.20.1, so players still using older versions as myself can still use it as a decorative storage-style display block.

Features:

Adds the Shelf block in all 12 wood types: Oak, Spruce, Birch, Jungle, Acacia, Dark Oak, Mangrove, Cherry, Bamboo, Crimson, Warped, and Pale Oak
Each shelf uses its own unique texture matching the correct wood type
Craftable using 6 stripped logs of a matching wood type (3-top, 3-bottom pattern), yielding 6 shelves per craft
Directional placemen. The shelf faces you when placed, like a furnace or crafting table, so it reads correctly no matter which wall you mount it on
Accurate hitbox matching the real shelf's shape, including the open notch at the top front, rather than a plain solid box
All 12 variants appear in their own Creative inventory tab for easy access
Fully compatible with recipe-viewer mods like JEI, REI, or EMI.

How this affects your experience:
Players get the same decorative wall-shelf furniture piece from the newer game versions, without needing to update their world or other mods to a version that isn't out yet.

Current scope: This version focuses on the block's appearance, placement, and crafting. It does not yet include the newer item-display/storage functionality (storing items on the shelf, hopper/comparator support, or the redstone-powered hotbar-swap feature) that's planned as a future update.
