About this project

What does filament add?

Filament: Custom Content Adder for Fabric Servers

Documentation CurseForge GitHub

filament simplifies adding custom content to Fabric-based Minecraft servers. It allows server owners to add new items, blocks, decorations and even mobs using JSON files—no coding required. Configure a block, item, decoration, or armor, and you're ready to go!

Clients can connect to servers using filament without installing any mods, as it relies on a resource pack, item display entities, and packet-based methods.

Decorations and other features have minimal server performance impact due to their packet-based nature.

Use Polymer's auto-hosting capability to host the resource pack—no third-party server required.

TLDR: ItemsAdder/Oraxen alternative for Fabric.

Features

  • Custom Items: Add items with unique behaviors, including:

    • Armor
    • Cosmetics
    • Items running commands
    • Bows/Crossbows

  • Custom Blocks: Add your own custom blocks like:

    • Trapdoors
    • Doors
    • Crops
    • Budding blocks

  • Custom Decorations: Add furniture and decorations with configurable placement and interactions:

    • Benches
    • Showcases/Item-Displays
    • Container
    • Wearable & placeable backpacks

  • Custom Mobs: Add your own mobs with simple goal-based AI - supports custom models too! Create:

    • Animals
    • Hostile mobs
    • Supports custom attributes
    • Control spawn chances and biomes to spawn in
