About this Mod

26.1 Backport
Backports Minecraft 26.1 features to 1.21.11 minus the baby mob remodels.
About The Project
26.1 Backport is a small mod that backports some of the 26.1 Drops features to 1.21.11 including the golden dandelion, craftable name tags, stone/deepslate to cobblestone/cobbled deepslate stonecutter recipes, and the trumpet instrument for note blocks!
[!caution]
The 26.1 version of the mod is required to correctly migrate the mods backported golden dandelion to the vanilla equivalent. Once all chunks containing golden dandelions (blocks, items, in containers, etc) have been loaded in 26.1 or the "Optimize World" button is used (Singleplayer Only) you can safely remove the mod.
