Perfect Parity: Spring To Life Edition

Find the The Garden Awakens (1.21.4) update here!

Don't Wait

I was sick of Mojang changing and breaking so many mods every update. I wanted to play with my modpack but didn't want to wait for the new features. So this mod asks: "Why not both?"

Unlike many backport mods, this does not aim to backport between major versions (e.g., 1.21 → 1.20). Instead, it's a minor version backport mod — most mods I personally use are on 1.21.1 or 1.21.4. I don’t think it’s fair to choose between new features and mod compatibility.

✨ Feature Parity

✅ Added cold and warm variants for Pig, Cow, and Chicken ✅ Sheep now spawn with biome-dependent wool colors ✅ Added new sound variants for Wolves ❌ Overhauled visuals for each Spawn Egg   – Find resource pack on Vanilla Tweaks – Utility ✅ Added fallen tree generation ✅ Added Firefly Bush block ✅ Added Leaf Litter block ✅ Added Wildflowers block ✅ Added Bush block ✅ Added Short Dry Grass and Tall Dry Grass blocks ✅ Added Cactus Flower block (can grow on Cactus) ❌ Added new falling leaf particles to Leaves blocks   – Try Falling Leaves instead — looks better than Mojang’s IMO ✅ New ambient block sounds in Desert and Badlands biomes

> BONUS: All mobs, blocks, and items are forward-compatible with 1.21.5 if you update your save!
