About this project

What does The tar mod add?

Ever wanted to build a medieval house and you didn't find a nice dark wood that would fit the theme?
Fret no more! You can now coat your wood!

Some versions on 1.20.* might not be working. Everything should be fixed in the mod version 1.1.3.



You first need to make tar, this is done by coating the bottom of a charcoal pit with clay.
After making a tar gathering pit it will collect all the tar made by the firewood above it. Using that tar you can start coating your planks.


A small note, in 1.20 tar was added to the base game. But it seems there is no way to get or use it. This mod adds that.

This is the way the tar coated blocks look:

A guide on how to use it, I know not my best work 😅. If somebody wants free yt views make a vid il put it here.
