Minecraft Chipped mod: Features, list of workbenches, and installation guide

Building is one of the core gameplay features of Minecraft. As soon as players enter a new world, they start gathering all kinds of blocks. Soon, they create their first base and gradually expand it as they progress. Later on, some players also take up massive building projects. Over the years, however, it is safe to say that some players might be bored of the same kind of blocks.

Even though Mojang continues to add new blocks with each update, players who want a whole lot of new building blocks can turn to the Chipped mod. Here is everything they need to know about it.

All major details about the Chipped mod for Minecraft

What is the Chipped mod?

Chipped is a building-focused mod that increases the number of building blocks available in the game. The mod boasts a whopping 11,000 distinct blocks, ranging from concrete, prismarine, gilded blackstone, and more. Features in the mod essentially take an already existing block and allow players to create new variants of them.

All of the textures in the mod are made to look as close to vanilla as possible. However, Chipped also contains blocks made with an Athena, a custom model loader for the game. According to the developer team, Chipped was inspired by the popular Chisel mod.

In order to transform certain original building blocks into their Chipped versions, players must first construct one of the seven workbenches offered by the mod. All seven look different but work the same. So, players can pick whichever looks best in their build, or make a few different ones and spread them out in their bases.

Here is a list of all the workbenches that the mod offers:

• Mason's workbench
• Glassblower's workbench
• Carpenter's workbench
• Shepherd's workbench
• Philosopher's workbench
• Tinkerer's workbench
• Botanish's workbench
