Cluttered FAQ

20 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I get started with Cluttered?
Craft a few basic pieces first — a bookshelf, an end table, or a window — and place them in an existing room to see how they scale. Once you have the materials on hand, branch into wallpaper and wainscoting to tie a room together.
How do I craft Cluttered blocks?
Most items are made at a crafting table using common materials like wood planks, glass, and wool. Check JEI or REI in-game to see the exact recipe for any specific block or item.
How do I place wallpaper and wainscoting?
Wallpaper comes in upper, lower, and full-height variants — place the matching piece on the wall section you want to cover. Wainscoting goes on the lower portion of a wall and pairs with wallpaper above it.
Why won't my window or door place correctly?
Windows and French doors need a flat wall face and enough adjacent blocks to orient properly. If placement fails, break the block behind or beside the spot and try again from a different angle.
Do Cluttered blocks have collision or are they decorative only?
Most furniture like end tables, mini tables, and lamps are solid and can be stood on or bumped into. Small props such as jars, books, and ingredients are typically non-solid decoration.
Can I rotate or flip Cluttered furniture?
Yes — most directional blocks like end tables, chairs, and lamps face the direction you're looking when placed. Some pieces can be right-clicked or shifted to change their orientation.
How do I make a bookshelf look full?
Stack bookshelves against a wall and mix in bookstands, library books, and codex props on top or beside them. Varying heights and adding a lamp nearby makes the shelf read as a lived-in library.
Does Cluttered work with other decoration mods?
Yes, Cluttered is designed to sit alongside other furniture and building mods without conflicts. Just watch for overlapping block IDs or duplicate items if another mod adds similar pieces.
Is Cluttered laggy on big builds?
Individual blocks are lightweight, but hundreds of small props in one area can add up. If you notice stutter, group decorative clusters into fewer chunks or reduce the number of tiny non-solid props.
Why are some Cluttered items missing from my creative tab?
Some items only appear after you've unlocked or crafted related pieces, and a few are grouped under sub-tabs rather than the main Cluttered tab. Search by name in the creative search bar to find them.
What does the Cluttered Mod add?
Cluttered is a decoration mod that adds furniture, decor, and blocks, including items inspired by games like Animal Crossing, The Sims 4, Starbound, Terraria, Overwatch, and Tears of the Kingdom. It also adds paintings, planks, bookshelves, and some mushrooms and flowers that spawn naturally.
Is everything in Cluttered obtainable in survival?
Yes, everything in the mod is craftable and obtainable in survival mode. The wiki lists crafting, stonecutting, and smelting recipes for its blocks and items.
What Minecraft versions does Cluttered support?
The Modrinth project page lists Minecraft 1.20.3, 1.20.4, 1.20.5, 1.20.6, 1.21, and 1.21.1. The author also states the first 3.0 release is for Forge 1.20.1.
What mod loaders does Cluttered run on?
The Modrinth project page lists Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge. The author notes the first 3.0 release is Forge 1.20.1, with later versions moving to NeoForge and a Fabric port planned.
Do Cluttered blocks have functionality?
Yes. Chairs are sittable, cupboards and cabinets have storage, and bookshelves provide enchanting power. The author also mentions some blocks have secret functionality.
Why do Cluttered blocks look weird or have shading issues?
Some furniture may have shading issues, which can be fixed by turning off Smooth Lighting in your video settings.
Will I lose items when updating Cluttered?
Yes, if you update Cluttered in an existing world, items stored in Cluttered storage blocks will disappear. Back up your world and clear those storage blocks before updating.
Is Cluttered 3.0 compatible with older Cluttered worlds?
Cluttered 3.0 was rewritten from scratch and the mod ID changed, so it is essentially a different mod. Updating should replace most blocks and furniture with new versions if they exist, but stored inventories will not carry over.
Does Cluttered require any other mods?
The gathered facts do not list any required dependencies for Cluttered. It is available for Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge.
What kinds of decor are in Cluttered?
Cluttered includes furniture and decor such as chairs, armchairs, bookshelves, tables, lamps, windows, doors, wallpaper, planters, jars, and kitchen items like retro fridges and toasters. Many are inspired by games including Animal Crossing, The Sims 4, Starbound, Terraria, Overwatch, and Stardew Valley.
