26.1 Backport

by VoxelBill · on Modrinth

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 26.1–26.1.2Newest
Minecraft 1.21.11

⬇ Download for 26.1–26.1.2 ⬇ Download for 1.21.11

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

About The Project

26.1 Backport is a small mod that backports some of the 26.1 Drops features to 1.21.11 including the golden dandelion, craftable name tags, stone/deepslate to cobblestone/cobbled deepslate stonecutter recipes, and the trumpet instrument for note blocks!

[!caution] The 26.1 version of the mod is required to correctly migrate the mods backported golden dandelion to the vanilla equivalent. Once all chunks containing golden dandelions (blocks, items, in containers, etc) have been loaded in 26.1 or the "Optimize World" button is used (Singleplayer Only) you can safely remove the mod.
