What is Marvelous Materials Mod?
Marvelous Materials adds a ton of decorative building blocks to Minecraft, along with a new biome called the Ornamental Forest. You get access to 8 unique tree types, 12 gemstone ores, stained wood in 16 colors, colored clay bricks, and special potions that make gathering resources easier. It’s basically a builder’s dream for creating colorful structures.
Features
The Ornamental Forest
This is the new biome where most of the mod’s content spawns. It’s full of colorful flowering trees and glowing mushrooms that light up the forest naturally. The trees are bigger and more varied than vanilla trees, and some have vines growing on them. You can harvest blossoms from the flowering trees using pruning shears, then crush them into pigments for coloring other blocks.
Tree Types
The mod includes 8 different tree species: Cedar, Crabapple, Dogwood, Jacaranda, Laburnum, Paulownia, Carolina Silverbell, and Wisteria. Each has its own colored bark, wood, and flowers. They all drop saplings, wood, and blossoms just like normal trees, and you can craft standard wood blocks like planks, slabs, stairs, fences, and gates from each type.
Gemstone Ores
There are 12 different gemstone ores scattered throughout the world: Amethyst, Aventurine, Carnelian, Chalcopyrite, Citrine, Jade, Jasper, Labradorite, Mica, Moonstone, Rose Quartz, and Sodalite. Mine them to get gemstone chunks, crush those into fragments with a mortar and pestle, then combine them with grout to create decorative tile blocks.
Colored Blocks
This is where the mod really shines. You can stain wood planks in 16 different colors, making colored wood slabs, stairs, fences, and gates. There’s also colored clay in 16 shades that becomes colored clay bricks. Combine the bricks into normal or large decorative tile blocks. Clay vases hold tree blossoms for decoration, and there are 6 different door styles available in all colors.
Special Items and Potions
The mod includes a few helpful crafting tools. Pruning shears harvest blossoms from flowering trees (good for about 24 uses). A mortar and pestle crushes ores and blossoms (about 32 uses). There are two potions: Gatherer’s Glee gives double drops from logs and ores for 45 seconds, and Floral Fortune lets you harvest blossoms without the pruning shears for 45 seconds. Both are made from essences you find while gathering resources.
Installation
This mod requires Minecraft Forge. Download the mod file for your Minecraft version and place it in your mods folder (.minecraft/mods).
