Carpet Variants for Minecraft

Review Carpet Variants

In the vanilla version of the game, carpets can be used to create beautiful floor decor, adding various types of Minecraft blocks. Mostly, they only change with dye or the wool used. It’s a simple and straightforward mechanic. However, there are often situations where you want to change the look of horizontal blocks, and that becomes a bigger problem since there are no decorative elements for that in the cubic world. That’s why third-party mod developers release separate projects that allow changing the game mechanics and adding new options to the gameplay.

The Carpet Variants mod lets you place carpets on different surfaces, including floors, walls, and ceilings. This system greatly diversifies the decor in any building, offering players a wide range of elements for decorating buildings, mainly for interior use. You still have access to the same 16 types of carpets, which you can now use to create new types of interiors, such as decorating walls and ceilings. This mechanic opens up many additional possibilities for players, which is a significant advantage for those who decide to install this mod in their build.

By default, carpets in the game can only be used to decorate floors, often added as a separate decorative layer on top of other materials. But if you wanted to decorate walls or ceilings, you had to use other building blocks — and nothing more. That’s why this mod stands out among other game expansions, even though its functionality isn’t very extensive. The Carpet Variants add-on has several advantages and features:

· Placement on walls and ceilings. Previously, you could only place carpets on the floor, and that was the only option. Now you can easily place and replace carpets on floors, walls, and ceilings;

· Support for all colors. Minecraft by default has 16 carpet colors, and all of them can now be used in any interior. A convenient system for players that lets you arrange carpets in different patterns in the game world;

· Soft surfaces. Using wool carpets significantly changes the look of materials. For example, for medieval-style interiors, this is an excellent option. And if you want to create a colorful building with bright interiors, carpets are perfect for that, standing out with their “soft” materials;

· Creating maps and pixel art. The new mechanic gives players a huge range of possibilities when creating maps, locations, spawns, arenas, and many other structures. You can completely cover large “cubes” with solid-colored carpets or create patterns without removing the base blocks. The player chooses what to create using this set of tools;

· Simple mechanics. Players don’t need to learn anything new since they are using the same carpets, just now they can “stick” them to walls and ceilings. The material itself looks much brighter, is very easy to craft, and getting wool in the game is no problem, even at the start of survival.

Visually, this mod provides many advantages, even though carpets were not commonly used in the vanilla version of Minecraft. For players, this is a great chance to create beautiful rooms and buildings, unique art objects, signs, patterns, and many other designs. Even though carpets aren’t very common in regular survival mode, after installing this mod, interest from players will clearly increase, which is a real plus. If you don’t have enough blocks and decorative elements, be sure to install the Carpet Variants mod and see how you can decorate buildings in Minecraft.

In conclusion, this mod can be used not only in the vanilla version of the game but also in different mod packs, as in almost every version players need to decorate something, enhance interiors, add unique details, or create art objects. The mechanics of this add-on are extremely simple and intuitive, requiring no additional actions from players. You just walk up to the wall or ceiling you want to decorate and right-click while holding the item. We recommend players try this add-on in their build to explore all its possibilities and see what objects they can recreate overall.

After installing Carpet Variants, the system works automatically. You only need to craft carpets in the game to place them on any surface, using all the dyes available in the vanilla survival mode. If you have third-party add-ons installed that add more dyes, then there will be even more carpet options overall. But that depends entirely on the functionality of each expansion in the game. In the comments, you can share what kinds of decorations you’ve created in the game world and how this mod helped you in your build.
