About this project
What does Drops Backport add?

Drops Backport currently backports the entirety of Chaos Cubed (26.2), alongside 26.3, to 26.1.2 for both Fabric and NeoForge.
This includes absolutely everything you'd expect - Sulfur Caves, Sulfur Cube, Dappled Forest, Abandoned Camps, all-new-and-improved maps, new blocks, music and so much more, with 1:1 feature and content parity.
This is not a vague recreation of new vanilla drops; all behaviour is made to be exactly the same (as per what's discussed below, a ton of smaller changes are ported also!), so you get to enjoy the latest vanilla game drops in their complete form on a more modding-popular release.
Optionally supports Lithostitched for more compatible biome placement and surface rule injection.

- Sulfur Cube & Bucket
- Sulfur blocks
- Cinnabar blocks
