Description

Tuff Backport (Minecraft: Namespace)

Adds the full 1.21 tuff block family to 1.20.1 registered directly under the minecraft: namespace instead of a custom mod namespace.
 


What it adds

  • Tuff Slab, Tuff Stairs, Tuff Wall, Chiseled Tuff
  • Polished Tuff, Polished Tuff Slab, Polished Tuff Stairs, Polished Tuff Wall
  • Tuff Bricks, Chiseled Tuff Bricks, Tuff Brick Slab, Tuff Brick Stairs, Tuff Brick Wall
All craftable and stonecuttable the same way as real 1.21, and sorted into the vanilla Building Blocks creative tab right after Tuff.

 

Why the minecraft: namespace?

Most backport mods register their blocks under their own mod id (somemod:tuff_bricks). That's the safe default, but it means those blocks never become the "real" vanilla blocks even after you upgrade they stay tied to the mod forever.

This mod instead registers everything as minecraft:tuff_bricks, minecraft:polished_tuff, etc the exact IDs the real 1.21+ blocks use. The goal: if you later move to a Minecraft version where these blocks exist natively and remove this mod, your existing builds should, in principle, keep working with the real vanilla blocks instead of turning into missing/purple blocks.

 


Please read before installing:
  • This is not an officially supported or tested technique it works because nothing currently prevents a mod from registering under `minecraft:`, not because it's a documented feature.
  • Don't run this alongside another mod that does the same thing for the same blocks. For example, two mods claiming minecraft:tuff_bricks will conflict. However, if another mod adds minecraft:tuff_bricks and you want to add this mod as well, it will work and keep the blocks as long as you remove the old mod.
  • Blockstates/hardness/blast resistance/sounds here were built to match the real 1.21 tuff family as closely as possible, but there's no guarantee that upgrading later will be perfectly clean back up your world first either way.

 
Installation
Requires Minecraft Forge 1.20.1 (47.4.10+). Install on both client and server this adds real registry entries, so both sides need the mod for multiplayer.
 
Credits
Blockstates, models, recipes, loot tables, tags, and translations are based on the [TuffBlocks](https://github.com/MaximeriX/TuffBlocks) mod by MaximeriX (MIT License). This project's registration code is original and everything is re-registered under the minecraft: namespace as described above a different approach from the original mod, which uses its own namespace.
 
Note: Please do not ask for ports or updates, this mod is a commission made public and will not be updated regularly.
