All Block Variants
by bloopletech
All Block Variants fills gaps in vanilla Minecraft by adding block variants such as concrete stairs, dyed wood and flower pots, with their own crafting recipes.
What it does
Vanilla Minecraft lacks many block variants, for example concrete stairs or dyed logs. The mod supplies them with functionality and appearance kept as close to the vanilla blocks as possible, including the dyed blocks, which follow vanilla colour rules and texture design.
Variant types include thin slabs at half height, vertical slabs that stand upright instead of lying flat, thin vertical slabs at half width, fence gates, dyed wood, dyed logs and dyed stripped logs. Because some variant recipes would conflict with vanilla recipes, crafting a variant needs an extra item, the Mod Stick, placed in the crafting grid. The Mod Stick works like the vanilla Debug Stick and is usable in survival mode, and it is reused rather than consumed. Installation requires Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin on Fabric. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Files cover 1.19.2 – 1.21.8, with 1.17.1+1.21.8 for 1.21.8 as the latest Fabric file, published on 2025-11-05. The mod has been available since 2022-11-13.
Key features
Concrete stairs and flower pots
Variants include concrete stairs, dyed blocks and flower pots, filling gaps that vanilla leaves open.
Thin and vertical slabs
Thin slabs are half height, vertical slabs stand upright, and thin vertical slabs combine both at half width.
Fence gates and dyed wood
Fence gates, dyed wood, dyed logs and dyed stripped logs add colour choices to existing wood types.
Mod Stick crafting
Variant recipes take the Mod Stick in the grid, which is reused and works in survival mode.
Stonecutter selection
A stonecutter can turn a block into a variant such as Blue Concrete Stairs, producing one per cut.
