Retro Items
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16–1.18. 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.
This is my implementation that recreates the classic item look in minecraft! It overrides the item rendering code, and comes with plenty of gameplay and visual options.
By default, items will refuse to merge as they drop. An option also exists to generate all item models as flat, which is a good way to improve performance and the flat aesthetic, in my opinion.
Fabric loader and Cloth Config API are required for this mod.
