Dary's Decoratives: Curtains (or simply DD Curtains) is a part of (hopefully) upcoming series of "small" themed decorative mods.

Dary's Decoratives: 

• DD Mosaic Glass
• DD Curtains
•  work in progress...

This mod is an attempt to create an ultimate curtains mod, that will add many kinds of window dressings over time. Currently, it contains of:

• Curtains 
• Sheer Curtains
• Beaded Curtains
• Blinds
• Roller Curtains
• Portiere
• PVC Curtains
• Lace and voile curtains
• Curtains with painted patterns
• Sheer curtains with painted patterns
• Drapes curtains
• Beaded Curtains with patterns
• Day-night shades
• Base "concrete" colors blinds
• Painted Wool blocks aka wallpaper

All fabric, beaded curtains and portieres are available in 16 minecraft colours+5 new ( emerald, linen, beige, crimson, lilac ). Blinds are available in all minecraft wood types. PVC are just the single curtain kind to honour the will of an unknown person on Reddit, whose post I came across one day :-D .

! If you right-click the curtains block with a similar kind of curtain in hand, this curtain will be placed below the existing ones in that column, allowing them to be easily extended without pixel-hunting.

Use SHEARS to break the curtains instantly!

Curtains and Sheer Curtains and Beaded Curtains have the same complex behavior:

• When right_clicked, they will cycle the current column through different available positions (opened to the left, to the right, closed and fully opened)
• When Shift-right-clicked, they will open neatly for the whole window
• If the redstone signal is present, the curtains will be opened for the whole window (daylight-sensor friendly designs!)
• Curtains of all colors, as well as sheer and non-sheer and beaded can be combined to create intricate window dressings of any legth

Roller curtains have their behavior too:

• When right_clicked, they will open/close for the whole window
• If the redstone signal is present, the roller curtains will be opened/closed for the whole window 

Blinds :

• When right_clicked, they will close/open
• When Shift-right-clicked, they will raise upwards for the whole window
• If the redstone signal is present, the blinds will be raised for the whole window

Portieres:

No special behavior, just hanging down with a royal grace and handle some simple ctm logic. Can be used to decorate walls, doorways or windows by themselves or with another curtains nearby.

PVC curtains:

No special behavior, just hanging out to please some engineer's aesthetics.

 

Important! This mod offers some neat configurable options too. Check the config file to:

• Set the light blocking level for non-transparent curtains. Blackout curtains are cool, but may be a bit annoying due to the minecraft light engine.
• Enable/disable accurate bounding boxes for curtains. Invisible curtains will not have the bounding boxes to click on this way. Read carefully the configuration description and choose what you prefer.
• Enable/ disable ambient chime when an entity collides with the beaded curtains
