Cluttered is a comprehensive mod designed to significantly expand the decorative and functional building options available within Minecraft. It addresses the common player desire for more diverse and aesthetically pleasing furniture and decor items, moving beyond the vanilla game's limitations. This mod introduces a wide array of craftable blocks, allowing players to personalize their builds with unique styles and themes, making every structure feel more lived-in and distinct. By providing hundreds of new items, Cluttered empowers players to express their creativity and construct worlds that are not only functional but also visually rich and engaging, solving the problem of repetitive or uninspired interior and exterior designs. The functionality of Cluttered revolves around introducing a substantial collection of new blocks that serve both decorative and practical purposes. Players can expect to find a variety of furniture pieces, from chairs and beds that function as intended, to specialized storage solutions that help organize in-game items. The mod also includes unique decorative elements and blocks with secret functionalities, adding an element of discovery and surprise to gameplay. The introduction of items like the hand drill allows for the cycling of block variants, such as different wallpaper trims or material finishes, offering further customization. The mod's assets have been entirely rebuilt from scratch with improved coding and updated models, ensuring a polished and integrated experience within the game world. Cluttered is compatible with a wide range of Minecraft versions, specifically supporting 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.3, 1.20.4, 1.20.5, 1.20.6, 1.21, and 1.21.1. It is designed to work with multiple mod loaders, including Fabric, Forge, and NeoForged. This mod is required on both the client and the server, meaning that all players connecting to a server running Cluttered will need to have the mod installed on their own game clients to ensure full compatibility and access to all its features. This dual requirement ensures a consistent and seamless experience for everyone involved in multiplayer gameplay. To install Cluttered, players should place the mod file into the appropriate mods folder for their chosen mod loader. For Forge and NeoForged users, this is typically the 'mods' folder within their Minecraft installation directory. For Fabric users, the process is similar, with the file going into the 'mods' folder. Before launching the game, it is crucial to ensure that the correct version of the mod is being used for the specific Minecraft version and mod loader. Players should also be aware of the warning regarding updates: if updating Cluttered in an existing world, especially from older versions to 3.0, items stored in Cluttered blocks may disappear. Backing up the world and clearing storage blocks before updating is highly recommended to prevent data loss.
