Page title card featuring example builds and a character render.

There comes a time in every survival playthrough where you want to decorate your abode, but a search around for building inspo leaves you unsatisfied. Creative mode options require a lot of tinkering, and anything survival friendly just takes up too much space.

This pack was born from this frustration I had while playing on an SMP. Previous packs achieved custom models with Optifine or CIT (which is defunct).

Thanks to 1.21.5 pack changes, custom models are now much easier to implement into vanilla gameplay. That's right, this pack require zero mods to function.

The pack currently features 44 strings to choose from, with many more on the way, including more for the holiday season!

An example build featuring the fairy lights.

Pack Features:

  • String lights (Fairy lights) and fun decorative extras add a touch of detail to your base, while still fitting into vanilla survival gameplay.
  • Extra decorative items and accessories to discover! (use the pack README to find them all!)
  • Strings are accessed by renaming glowstone dust in an anvil. This means the pack doesn't replace or interrupt any normal gameplay. - Glow item frames have been made invisible by default to allow for the cleanest appearance. Be sure to use Glow item frames for the best effect.

Use this image or the README in the pack to get the names required to activate the desired item:
