01Overview
Wooden Accents is a Minecraft building and decoration mod I've been working on for several years. It started because I kept wishing vanilla Minecraft had a few more wooden blocks for building, especially furniture and smaller structural details. I don't want to completely change Minecraft's style; I just want to give builders more options that still look like they belong in the game.

05Architecture
Wooden Accents is mostly written in Kotlin, with shared gameplay code and separate loader integration for Fabric and NeoForge. Gradle builds the loader-specific releases, and VoxLib handles a lot of the voxel shape utilities used throughout the mod. I've tried to keep common functionality reusable rather than duplicating it for every wood type or mod loader.
06Challenges
Getting blocks to connect and behave correctly
A lot of the blocks aren't just static decorations. Ladders, beams, pillars, and other pieces need to change how they connect depending on what's around them, while furniture and storage blocks have their own interactions. Working through those behaviors has taught me quite a bit about Minecraft's block states, shapes, and interaction systems.
Supporting multiple loaders and Minecraft versions
Minecraft modding changes quite a bit between versions, and Fabric and NeoForge don't always approach things the same way. I try to share as much implementation as possible while keeping the loader-specific integration separate. Maintaining older versions also takes time, so I'm focusing new features on newer versions and limiting maintenance of old releases to important fixes.
07Status
Wooden Accents is in active development, and it's probably the project I've spent the most time on. There's still a pretty long list of blocks and improvements I'd like to add, but I'm trying to focus on making the existing features work well before piling on more. New development is focused on modern Minecraft versions, while older releases remain available for existing worlds.
