Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16–1.17. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
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.






Current Features:
- two wallpaper designs with multiple colors
- Pasting Table where you can craft wallpapers with paper and one to three dyes
- possibility to add custom designs (see guide below)
Planned Features:
- more wallpaper designs
Adding custom designs:
- change "enableCustomDesigns" to true in the withoutawallpaper-server-config file
- add your custom design to "customDesigns" in the same file
- For example, if you want to add a design named "test" with two colors, where the first can be any color and the second can be blue or green, you need to add "test[all;blue,green]".
- each design must have an individual name
- each design can have one to three colors
- if you want you can send me your design on my discord (see below) that I can implement them in the mod
Adding resources for custom designs:
- resources must be located in "<game folder>/config/withoutawallpaper/CustomWallpaperResources/" or in a resource pack
- for each design you have to create a folder with the name of the design in "assets/withoutawallpaper/textures/block/wallpaper/"
- create a "design.png" file and a "color0" folder, for more than one color additionally a "color1" folder and for more than two colors additionally a "color2" folder (the design.png image will be shown in the pasting table design selection)
- in each "color0" / "color1" / "color2" folder you have to create a "<colorname>.png" file for each available color (for example "blue.png" or "light_gray.png")
- if you have a wallpaper with lime as first color and black as second color, color0/lime.png and color1/black.png will be rendered on top of each other
Any ideas on what I can improve / add or have a better texture for something?
