Builder's Vanilla Additions
by ADankGuy
Builder's Vanilla Additions fills out the vanilla block set with slabs, stairs and walls for building projects, and runs on Fabric and Forge.
What it does
The additions focus on building blocks. Most of the content is slabs, stairs and walls, made for the same materials that vanilla Minecraft already uses, with a few other blocks added alongside. Its author plans more content in later updates. The blocks are usable in both Creative and Survival modes.
Installation needs the loader's own installer and the mod file placed in the mods folder. On Fabric, Fabric API must also be present in the mods folder. The mod runs in the client and server environment, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric and Forge, with files for 1.21 only, and it is licensed as All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Slabs, stairs and walls
Most of the added blocks are slabs, stairs and walls, for finishing roofs, floors and wall edges in a build.
Matching block set
The new blocks follow the building shapes already present in vanilla, so they combine with existing materials.
Creative and Survival use
The blocks can be placed and crafted in both Creative and Survival modes.
Planned additions
The author states that more content will arrive in future updates, beyond the current set of blocks.

Use cases
Building projects
Builders who need more variants of slabs, stairs and walls can add them to a vanilla world for houses and interiors.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who build with vanilla materials and want additional shapes for walls, roofs and floors, in a world that already runs Fabric or Forge with the matching version.
How it compares
Crumbs is open source under the MIT License, published for Fabric and Forge, but only for 1.16.1 – 1.16.5. 26.3 Slab and Stair Backport is Fabric only, covers 1.21.1 and is not open source. New Slabs, Stairs & Walls is open source under the MIT License and works on Fabric and Forge across a much wider range, 1.12.2 – 26.3, so it covers the same block types over more versions.
