VanessaE's Home Decor modpack
► Overview
This modpack is what I consider to be a nice, feature-filled home decor collection. It consists of multiple parts:
- The Home Decor mod itself, which supplies a bunch of stuff found in and around most homes (like window shutters, flower pots, home electronics, brass and wrought-iron tables, kitchen stuff, bathroom fixtures, and lots more)
- A "3d extras" mod, which redefines a few non-homedecor items to make them more 3d in appearance (e.g. bookshelves)
- sdzen's building_blocks mod, which supplies a number of additional decorative nodes both for building and for use in recipes
- thefamilygrog's lrfurn mod, which adds couches/sofas and small tables
- thefamilygrog's lava lamps mod, revamped with meshnodes and new animations
- kaeza's computers mod, which supplies several modern and classic computers, peripherals, and gaming consoles.
- qwrwed's plasmascreen mod
- bas080's inbox mod
- jp's fork of the fake_fire mod
- my fork of Doc's chains/chandelier mod, with brass textures by jp
- my fork of Zeg9's Item Frames mod
This modpack is a work-in-progress, but is complete enough to be useful, and shouldn't irritate anyone too badly. :-)

...or browse the code: https://github.com/minetest-mods/homedecor_modpack
... or get an older version: if you use Minetest 0.4.15-stable and can't upgrade yet, get the stable-tagged version of Home Decor from here: https://github.com/minetest-mods/homedecor_modpack/releases/tag/0.4.15

► Crafting Guide and Usage Information
Please browse over to The Home Decor Crafting Guide.
IMPORTANT: The crafting guide may be outdated due to recent updates to Home Decor (particularly, any recipes for objects that now use hardware colorization, and recipes that depend on such objects). When in doubt, consult your favorite in-game crafting guide (e.g. Unified Inventory).
Some of the items shown in that guide require the presence of one or more extra mods (see above). Look for the orange highlights. Where those extra mods are not present, the objects requiring them cannot be crafted, but they can still be acquired in creative more or with /giveme.
For more info and discussion specific to the Building Blocks mod in this modpack, see also the original forum thread for that mod. The Home Decor Crafting Guide contains an up-to-date version of the crafting guide shown in the first post of that thread (re-drawn from scratch).
► Colorization Support
This mod uses Unified Dyes to provide a wide range of colors to many of its objects. Of course, not everything can be colored (who needs a pink kitchen cabinet or a blue television?), but just about anything that one could reasonably expect to color can be. Those objects include bathroom tiles, beds, books, kitchen chairs (the ones with wool seats, not all-wooden), armchairs, curtains, glow lights (all three sizes), lava lamps, table and standing lamps, desk lamps, sofas, and window shutters.
► Credits / Miscellaneous
- Various bits of code (especially for the inventory code used in various places), plus a few miscellaneous images, were borrowed from the files which come with Minetest and altered to suit.
- Many thanks to Jeija for coming up with an elegant cylinder using nodeboxes (see his 'irregular' mods). A variation of his code is used for the round brass lampposts.
- Many thanks also to GloopMaster for explaining how to do use the inventory stuff.
- A special thanks to jin_xi and cornernote for helping me figure out what was going wrong with the on-placement code for the fridge.
- The shapes for the various 3dforniture objects came from Tonyka's mod (though all code has been written from scratch). Many thanks to Kaeza for integrating those items into this modpack!
