About this Mod

The Better Bricks mod adds new brick types and recipes to your Minecraft world.

While there are quite a few mods that simply add colored bricks to Minecraft, I have found very few that add bricks that are useful in building in modern and contemporary styles.

That is why I decided to create the Better Bricks mod.

Currently this mod adds 9 new types of brick to your Minecraft world.

In addition, this mod adds mortar, a new substance made with clay, sand, and coal. Mortar is needed to craft the various bricks.

This mod is currently still in development. I plan to add many more bricks in all different colors, types, and styles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Better Bricks server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Better Bricks compatible with fabric and forge?

Better Bricks officially supports fabric, forge for Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.21, 1.20. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Better Bricks – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Better Bricks consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
