About Visual Overhaul
From ModrinthSlight tweaks to revamp the visual aspect of vanilla.
This minecraft fabric mod overhauls the visuals of certain vanilla blocks.
Currently, it overhauls the Jukebox, the Brewing Stand, the Furnace, the Smoker and the Blast Furnace.
If enabled, it will also color items based on the current biome, which looks super dope.
Also, icons are now shown on menu buttons, so don't look as bland anymore.
If you want to use this mod, make sure you've enabled the included resourcepacks in the resourcepack selection screen!
The latest version adds a client-only way of getting the record in the jukebox. The biome-colored items, particles and button icons are also completely clientside.
For the other overhauls however, there is no way of making them work clientside only.
