Hearth & Home: New Building Blocks

You can build a house or any other structure in Minecraft even from standard blocks, as their number is quite enough to realize any ideas, given how many different colors and materials are available. However, you always want something more, and players have to download high-quality mods that add different decorative or building blocks to the game. As you are reading this review, you are perhaps also looking for a good mod to bring new content. If so, we recommend you consider using an add-on called Hearth & Home, as it features a lot of different block options, beginning with simple wooden materials and ending with parquet, lamps, and glasses.

The Hearth & Home mod adds a lot of different materials to Minecraft, and some of them are quite close to reality — that is, have real-world counterparts. The designers have tried to make them colorful, bright, and diverse. Thanks to such a wide range of blocks, you will be able to build cozy homes, create stunning landscapes, and decorate buildings not only outside but also inside. And all that will even not require special construction skills.

Review of the Hearth & Home Mod

The mod adds more than a hundred different building blocks to the game. They are divided into categories but can be of different colors while being in the same category. These are not only standard blocks but also chimneys, steps, slabs of different shades, one material of which has several colors, lamps, glasses, and much more. Such an abundance of various items will allow you to embody any ideas and erect even more interesting structures in the game, both in singleplayer mode or on a server. The designers of the Hearth & Home mod have tried to bring all the elements as close to the vanilla game style as possible, and they are perfectly combined, do not look awkward, and are not too bright.

Thanks to such a set of blocks, any of you will be able to quickly create and design not only the exterior of a building but also its interiors, as well as to elaborate its design in different styles, be it a modern house or a medieval castle. We have taken various screenshots featuring these blocks to show how they look and what are the advantages of each element. Just look at how cool the parquet looks in the game. It can boast a unique style and patterns, and if you place this block, it will extend its unique texture in any color.

The materials made of polished wood of different shades look unusual, and it is even not immediately clear whether you look at a building block of some kind of stone or wood. The designers of Hearth & Home have added a large number of shades for them, and they can also be used in construction. There are also several different blocks of wood, differing in patterns and textures.

Would like to use even more building materials? Be sure to apply the tiles. They have two colors placed diagonally and look like real tiles used in a kitchen or bathroom. They come in a wide range of colors, which can be combined to ensure a particular style or pattern. Such materials are perfect for interior design and fit with almost any structure type: modern houses, medieval castles, industrial facilities, and many other options.

The square lamps can be used to decorate both the interiors and exterior. Their exact style is difficult to determine: they resemble the Chinese or Japanese ones and can be placed not only inside but also outside. They will thus serve not only as a building material but also as light sources. They provide good lighting at night and so can be used in swimming pools, lawns, indoors, and on the roof. Here, each player decides how and where to place such blocks according to their creative tasks. However, the very presence of such materials in the Hearth & Home mod adds even more value to it.

The last block type to consider is square glasses, which are translucent and let light through. They can be used in any structure, and the vanilla game version cannot boast such textures. They come in a variety of shades and are quite easy to craft. They look voluminous, as they have wide edges with distinct contours. In general, they have proved cool — even though they are not the only glass option in Hearth & Home. You will thus also be able to use the glass panes that also come in various colors.

As you can see, the choice of building blocks here is broad, and this whole library of materials will be available to you after installing the Hearth & Home mod. It is available for Minecraft 1.19.2 and is periodically updated — though not that often. For now, it has more than 65 thousand downloads from the official web page, and this number is growing as this add-on is in demand.

You can install it for both Forge and Fabric, which is highly important for modern add-ons, where you have to choose between several loaders. The Hearth & Home mod is included in many builds and can be used not only in singleplayer mode but also on a server. So feel free to decorate your buildings, take full advantage of the add-on, and undertake creative projects with such a large set of available tools.
