Bignay
by MysiuPysiu
Bignay adds missing decorative blocks and variants for Minecraft, including basalt, calcite and dripstone variants, vertical slabs, hollow logs and pumpkin variants.
What it does
Bignay fills gaps in the decoration block set with new variants for stone, brick and wood-based materials. Among them are basalt, calcite and dripstone variants, andesite, granite and diorite variants, cracked brick variants, vertical slabs, hollow logs, mosaics, bookshelves and campfires. Each block is meant to be placed in builds like any vanilla block.
The mod is described by its author as lightweight, and it is meant to sit alongside other feature mods. Fabric API is required for every loader build, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 18 release versions, 1.20 – 1.21.10. TerraBlender is optional and only affects world generation features.
Bignay runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and public links exist for the source code.

How it compares
Brick Variety covers brick variants for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.16.5 – 26.2, but its license is All rights reserved and it is not open source. Stone Utilities is NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, under the MIT License. Desire targets Fabric alone for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 under a custom license. Bignay is open source and covers more loaders and versions than these three.
