About this project

What does DistinctCraft add?

DistinctCraft is a client-side accessibility mod for players who benefit from clearer shape, pattern, and contrast differences. It provides three built-in visual profiles—Clear, Subtle, and Monochrome—for vanilla ores, andesite, gravel, and matching ore-drop items. Vanilla stone remains unchanged as a neutral reference.

The profiles use static resource-pack textures. DistinctCraft does not scan the world, reveal hidden blocks, add emissive ore glow, or change gameplay. No server installation is required.

Features

  • Clear, Subtle, and Monochrome accessibility profiles
  • In-game settings and keyboard shortcuts for fast profile changes
  • Optional high-contrast outline for the block currently under the crosshair
  • Coverage for standard Overworld ore variants, Nether quartz, and Nether gold
  • Matching primary ore-drop item textures
  • English, German, and Dutch interface text
  • Compatible with standard resource packs; higher-priority packs may override DistinctCraft textures
  • Jade and WTHIT remain optional; neither is required

Supported versions

  • Minecraft 26.2 with NeoForge 26.2.0.75 or a compatible newer NeoForge build for Minecraft 26.2
  • Minecraft 26.1.2 with NeoForge 26.1.2.71 or a compatible newer NeoForge build for Minecraft 26.1.2
  • Java 25
