About this Mod
Ever wondered about Minecraft's lost and forgotten blocks and items? The ones that were axed in early days or only available through glitches? Now, with this mod, you can bring them back to life!
This mod restores removed and glitched blocks and items so that you can experience part of Minecraft's lost past. From old blocks that never got to see the light of survival, beta-era oddities, or hidden items from past updates, you can now collect, set, and use them just like any other item in the game.
Reignite nostalgia, experiment with forgotten features, and infuse a new sense of imagination into your work. If you've ever wanted to have fun with forgotten Minecraft content, then this mod is definitely for you!
The data pack version 1.0.0 of the mod requires the resource pack with the said version for data pack to work. For any versions after that the data pack and the resource pack is in the same download.
