(re)Introducing - the minecraft jewish mod!

hello jumblr & mineblr! this is a passion project that has been on hiatus for over 2 years, originally started at @jewishmod-remade (same team, just changed blogs) and we are FINALLY blowing the dust off of it to bring it back to life!

this blog will be used to share works in progress, updates for the mod, announcements for releases, playtesting, etc - basically just sharing info on the mod for anyone interested! we're excited to share with you!

this mod is primarily made by @faygelehh using MCreator, with some additional programming help from my gf (who does not have social media) !

We aim for a full release for Forge 1.21 (or 1.22, if possible) by Summer of 2025! We also plan to back-port (unsure how far back) and will hopefully also make the mod available for Fabric, but at the moment we are limited to the abilities of MCreator ^^

Our goals for this mod:

add over 70+ new jewish foods from all around the world!

add over 30+ (each) unique tallitot & kippot , one for each color of minecraft dyes, jewish cultures from around the world, and a pride collection!

add at least 5 new mobs - more info on this soon!

adding several usuable items for holidays, including a shofar (which will be similar but different from the existing ram's horn), a dreidel, etrog & lulav, etc....

redesigning the villagers - we intend to do *something* about the unfortunate design of our villager friends, but we don't have a specific plan yet & would love feedback from our communities!

and more!

Here are a few examples of the items that we have done so far (:

Apologies for the silence, the past few months of my personal life have been rough and I have little to show for it in terms of progress. I am working on creating a schedule/timeline for the mod to hopefully push myself to meet deadlines and share this project further. Wishing you all a very belated Shanah Tovah, and I hope to have some more updates to share soon!

this is a small thing but I think it would be cool if the golems in general had the "אמת" engraving on them. It's a random folkloric detail I've always kind of wanted to be in there

this is a great idea! I've been playing with ideas for how to modify the existing golems, and this is definitely on my list of priorities. unfortunately at the moment i am limited to the abilities of MCreator, which (unless im missing something) doesn't seem to allow the maker to modify existing minecraft mobs, so I won't be able to share what progress looks like on this for a while, but we have coders on standby who can help with details like that once the majority of the work on the mod is done (:

Recently, I've been thinking about the Jewish community of Scotland, and suddenly remembered they have their own Tartan - So I added a set of Jewish Tartan items to our collection (:

trello! looking for suggestions!

hello all! we now have a public trello to show what we have planned for the mod, what we're currently working on, and what has already been completed!

we're always open for suggestions! our ask box is open!

edit: leave it to me to make a post about the trello and not linking it lol. the link is here! (also now linked above)

Update! I've been working on a collection of new paintings to be added to the mod - 35 new 1x1 paintings for Hebrew + Yiddish characters, and the first 9 1x2 paintings of various Jewish flags from countries & communities around the world (:

These will be a work in progress - the designs may be tweaked slightly as we continue to work on the mod, and I definitely plan to add at least a few more!

Sorry about that anon, I completely spaced it!

The flags in the second images are as follows - left to right, top to bottom:

Ashkenazi - Sephardic - Mizrahi - Russian Jews/JAO Yiddish - Ladino - Bund/JLB - Anarchist Rainbow/gay pride (planning on doing more pride flags later)

Most of these flags are just community-made with no official uses (except for the JAO & Bund flags), but can easily be found just by googling their respective names (:
