Better Carpets
by danonus
Better Carpets lets carpet blocks hold torches, buttons and other blocks on top, while keeping their flat look.
What it does
Carpets normally require a solid floor and cannot support other blocks. With this mod, a carpet becomes a functional floor block: players can place torches, buttons and most other solid blocks on top of it, and the carpet keeps its appearance. Enhanced carpets interact with pistons on purpose, so behaviour stays predictable. Installation needs NeoForge for 1.21.1, and the mod must run on the client and the server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is released under the MIT License, though it is not open source.
Key features

Predictable piston behaviour
Enhanced carpets react to pistons in a consistent way, so the mechanic stays reliable in builds.

What the author says
Better Carpets adds the Carpet Duster, a tool that upgrades carpets into functional carpet blocks. These enhanced carpets keep the appearance of both the carpet and the block underneath, while allowing players to place blocks that normally require a solid floor.
