Clustersback

This Fabric mod for Minecraft Java Edition brings back to version 1.16.5 the raw copper and gold clusters and blocks that were added in update 1.17 and later versions of the game.

For the mod to work, Fabric API must be installed. An internet connection is required on the first game launch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is internet needed on first launch? According to Minecraft's license agreement, distributing game resources is prohibited. To bypass this restriction, a full version of the game is downloaded upon launch. Read more about the working mechanism below.

Does this violate the license agreement? No, because the mod does not distribute game resources directly. Upon launch, the following happens:

• Version 1.18.2 is downloaded from official sources, the same ones used by the game launcher
• Files are saved in the user's configuration folder (GAME_DIR/config/clustersback)
• Textures, loot tables, and recipes are loaded from the cached game version

Why was this mod created? The mod was developed by request of a player who dislikes deepslate. The last version of Minecraft without this block is exactly 1.16.5.

I'm a developer and want to use this approach in my project The project is distributed under the MIT license, so you can freely use the code. If you plan to do so, let the author know - with sufficient demand, he will extract the core logic into a separate library for easier integration into other mods.
