KantoBlocks

# KantoBlocks **KantoBlocks** is a building-block library made for creators who want to build classic Kanto-inspired towns, routes, interiors, caves, gyms, and adventure maps in Minecraft. It was originally created for the **[CobbleKanto](https://modrinth.com/modpack/cobblekanto)** project, where we needed a lot more than a few decorative blocks. The map needed city floors, walls, carpets, cave tiles, route details, signs, furniture-like pieces, themed interiors, connected textures, and a cleaner way to give builders access to the whole block set. --- [](https://shockbyte.com/billing/aff.php?aff=10741) Get 25% off your Minecraft server with Shockbyte!

It is a focused building kit. It works best for: - survival Minecraft maps - Cobblemon adventure maps - multiplayer towns and routes - gyms and challenge areas - caves and tunnels - server hubs - decorative builds with a retro RPG feeling - map makers who need consistent tiles across a large project The main goal is to make it easier to build a full adventure region without having every house, route, cave, and interior depend only on vanilla blocks. --- ## Block Themes KantoBlocks includes sets inspired by many different map areas and building types, including: - Celadon City - Cerulean City - Cinnabar Island - Fuchsia City - Lavender Town - Pallet Town - Pewter City - Saffron City - Vermilion City - Viridian City - Center & Mart interiors - Caves - Underground Path - ship interiors - endgame and elite4 inspired rooms - global decorative blocks used across the map Some blocks are full cubes, while others use custom shapes, directional placement, slabs, stairs, carpets, panes, fences, plants, signs, or connected textures. --- ## Connected Textures Several KantoBlocks use connected textures through Athena. This helps walls, floors, carpets, cave tiles, and other surfaces blend more naturally when placed together. It is especially useful for large interiors or route sections where repeating the same square texture would look too harsh. Because of that, **Athena is required** for the intended visual result. --- ## KantoBlocks Converter KantoBlocks includes a **KantoBlocks Converter**, a utility block made to help players access the block set more comfortably. The converter has a scrollable GUI with a block palette. You insert a valid currency item, select the block you want, and receive the selected KantoBlock.  The converter is useful for: - adventure servers - controlled block access - creative-style building stations - server shops By default, the converter can use pokéballs and copper ingots as currencies to get the blocks. --- ## Dependencies Required: - Minecraft 1.21.1 - Fabric Loader - Fabric API - Java 21 - Athena - GeckoLib Recommended / ecosystem: - Cobblemon Cobblemon is part of the **[CobbleKanto](https://modrinth.com/modpack/cobblekanto)** ecosystem and is recommended for the intended adventure-map experience, but KantoBlocks itself is primarily a building-block mod. Do not forget to install Athena and GeckoLib. Some blocks and visual features depend on them. --- ## FAQ **Does this mod add natural world generation?** No. KantoBlocks is a building/decorative block library. It does not generate structures or terrain by itself. **Is this only for CobbleKanto?** No. It was made for **[CobbleKanto](https://modrinth.com/modpack/cobblekanto)**, but you can use it in your own maps, servers, modpacks, or builds. **Can I use this in my own map, server or content?** Yes. You can use it in maps, servers, modpacks, screenshots, videos, livestreams, and showcases, as long as you do not reupload or claim the mod/assets as your own. **Why does it require Athena?** Athena is used for connected texture blocks. **Why does it require GeckoLib?** GeckoLib is used by some custom rendered blocks and items. **Can I use WorldEdit with these blocks?** Yes. KantoBlocks is useful for map building workflows, including WorldEdit-based building, as long as your server/client has the mod installed. --- ## Notes - Some blocks are designed for very specific visual use cases. - Connected textures may look wrong if Athena is missing. - Custom rendered blocks may not work correctly if GeckoLib is missing. - Always back up important worlds before adding or updating large building-block mods. ## Building Note KantoBlocks gives you the main visual foundation, but it works best when treated as part of a larger building palette. For more detailed areas, you may want to **mix it** with vanilla Minecraft blocks or other decoration mods, such as Chipped, to reach the exact look you want. For the most complete building experience, we recommend combining KantoBlocks with **[KantoModels](https://modrinth.com/mod/kantomodels)**. While **[KantoModels](https://modrinth.com/mod/kantomodels)** provides the main floors, walls, paths, caves, and structural pieces, KantoModels adds the extra decorative models and small details that help towns, routes, interiors, and special areas feel more alive. --- ## Credits Special thanks to everyone following the **[CobbleKanto](https://modrinth.com/modpack/cobblekanto)** project and to the Cobblemon community for inspiring so many map makers to build bigger worlds. --- Gigante pela própria natureza 🇧🇷
