# Filament: Custom Content Adder for Fabric Servers [](https://tomalbrc.de/docs/filament) [](https://modrinth.com/mod/filament) [](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/filament) [](https://github.com/tomalbrc/filament) [](https://discord.gg/9X6w2kfy89) filament simplifies adding custom content to Fabric-based Minecraft servers. It allows server owners to add new items, blocks, decorations and even mobs using JSON files—no coding required. Configure a block, item, decoration, or armor, and you're ready to go! Clients can connect to servers using filament without installing any mods, as it relies on a resource pack, item display entities, and packet-based methods. Decorations and other features have minimal server performance impact due to their packet-based nature. **Use [Polymer's auto-hosting capability](https://polymer.pb4.eu/latest/user/resource-pack-hosting/) to host the resource pack—no third-party server required.** **TLDR:** ItemsAdder/Oraxen alternative for Fabric. ## Features - **Custom Items:** Add items with unique behaviors, including: - Armor - Cosmetics - Items running commands - Bows/Crossbows - **Custom Blocks:** Add your own custom blocks like: - Trapdoors - Doors - Crops - Budding blocks - **Custom Decorations:** Add furniture and decorations with configurable placement and interactions: - Benches - Showcases/Item-Displays - Container - Wearable & placeable backpacks - **Custom Mobs:** Add your own mobs with simple goal-based AI - supports custom models too! Create: - Animals - Hostile mobs - Supports custom attributes - Control spawn chances and biomes to spawn in  ## Installation Requires [Fabric API](https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api) and [Polymer](https://modrinth.com/mod/polymer). Download filament and drop the `example_datapack` into the `datapacks` folder of your server world. filament uses Polymer's resource pack generation and hosting features. ## Usage An example datapack is available in the GitHub repo. Just drop it into your world's datapacks folder.
