Additional Bars
by ShoccDart
With Additional Bars, players get more bar variants to go along with Iron Bars, including gold, wood and horizontal types for decorative walls and fences.
What it does
Iron Bars alone can look monotonous in a build, so Additional Bars adds a range of new bar blocks in several materials and styles. Each variant places like the vanilla block it is modeled on. The mod runs on client and server, so a server and every player both need it installed. Builds cover 1.16.5 – 1.21.8 across Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features

New bar blocks extend the choice beyond Iron Bars for windows, cages and decorative barriers.
Gold and wood types

Horizontal bars
A horizontal bar type gives builders another orientation for railings and panels.
