Minecraft has an impressive diversity of blocks that players can use for construction and decoration purposes. While cobblestone and wood are the most basic options, there are other choices as well, such as the dyed terracotta variations that Minecraft has. Minecraft also has blocks such as Prismarine, Blackstone, and Diorite, which in addition to having a differentiated texture, can be crafted into different block variations that players use to bring their constructions to life. Showing how Minecraft could take things even further, one player has made a mod that draws attention to its variety of customization features.
Minecraft Fan Shares Interesting Concept For a New Pillager Structure
A creative Minecraft fan is showing off their unique idea for a new structure for the Pillager enemies in the popular sandbox survival game.
Reddit user BIT-root has created a mod that adds chalk to Minecraft. By installing the mod named Arts and Crafts, Minecraft players find chalk blocks high up in mountain biomes. They can also craft white chalk using two blocks of Calcite and two of Gypsum, a new block added by the mod. Players can make chalk sticks by placing a block in a Stonecutter. With the chalk sticks, Minecraft players can color the blocks in 16 colors. Using the chalk sticks leaves Chalk Dust on the blocks, with Minecraft players able to choose from the 33 available patterns.
Minecraft Mod Gives the Game an Artistic Twist by Adding Chalk in Different Colors
The Arts and Crafts mod is available on Curseforge and can be downloaded for free. In addition to chalk blocks and sticks, it allows Minecraft players to dye their decorated pots. Decorated pots were added in Minecraft's Trails and Tales update, but only come in brown. The mod created by the OP adds paintbrushes, a lotus flower, plaster, shingles, and a soapstone block. Another Arts and Crafts addition is cork wood, which is found in the Savannah biome.
Other Minecraft players have praised BIT-root's work, with some pointing out how chalk would be a nice way of implementing more pastel tones into the game. After all, although Minecraft has a significant number of wood colors and dyes, it is still limited. With this mod, the player expands Minecraft's dye feature, taking it to a new level and delivering an even more fun experience in a simple way.
