(Placing items as mini blocks?! Check out Mini Blocks: Items Edition here!)

(Looking for a better building experience? Check out Palette!)


Adds over 550 Mini Blocks obtainable in survival! Just place a block into a stonecutter to cut it into Mini Blocks! Works for most blocks as well as slabs and stairs! Each Mini Block has a corresponding note block sound, just like mob heads!


Features:
  • 569 obtainable Mini Blocks (as of v1.6.1 for MC 26.1)
  • Most cuttable blocks produce 8 Mini Blocks (see the list below!)
  • Each Mini Block has a name that persists between placing and breaking.
  • All Mini Blocks can be picked back up and stay stackable.
  • All Mini Blocks have recipe toasts.
  • All Mini Blocks have note block sounds.





All Mini Blocks and how to get them
All Mini Blocks are cut from their respective block unless otherwise specified (usually because the block is not obtainable).
Mini Blocks cut from slab-sized blocks (including Daylight Detectors, Stonecutters, Campfires, and Sculk Sensors) and stairs yield 4 and 6 Mini Blocks respectively. Other non-full blocks yield 1 Mini Block. All other blocks yield 8 Mini Blocks. A spreadsheet is WIP.

What to do if a Mini Block texture looks incorrect:

If a texture looks incorrect (it looks like a random player head), follow these steps:
  1. Close Minecraft.
  2. Navigate to your ".minecraft" folder (if you don't know how, there are many tutorials online for how to do this for different machines)
  3. Open "assets" and then delete the folder "skins".
This will force your Minecraft installation to re-download all player skins and should solve the problem.


Known Issues (these cannot be fixed):
  • Internet connection is required to download each Mini Block texture initially. Once a texture is downloaded (you have seen it in-game), it can be seen while offline. This is a limitation of how datapacks utilizing player heads work.
  • Cracked clients might not be able to reach the Minecraft skin server at all, which means that they will not be able to download any of the textures.

Make sure you are using the correct version and that the data pack is installed properly and activated in your world.

Nice work in keeping this datapack up to date! When loading it, Minecraft complains in the log:
Invalid path in datapack: mini_blocks:tags/item/.DS_Store, ignoring
etc. Perhaps you can clear out the .DS_Store files (generated by the Finder on macOS) before zipping the datapack in the future? Just to make it a bit cleaner. :)

Thanks!

Haha yeah those pesky Mac files. I try to get rid of them and they never go. I'll see what I can do in the future (might need to put together a script that automatically removes them before zipping). The warnings can safely be ignored.

These .DS_Store files should be removed in the next update.

Hi, does this mod only support 1.21.5, or can it support other versions like 1.20.1
