Block Layering
by Lothrazar
Block Layering lets stackable blocks sit in layers the same way snow layers do, so a single block can be set to any height.
What it does
Layered blocks in this mod behave like snow layers: each one stacks onto the same block type and can be built up in height, which suits terrain shaping and detail work. Installation needs Forge or NeoForge, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Builds cover 1.12.2 – 26.1.2 across eight release versions, and the code is under the MIT License, though it is not open source.
Key features
Snow-style layering
Blocks stack in layers that follow the same placement rules as snow layers.
Height control
Each layer adds a fixed step of height, so terrain can be built to exact levels.
Texture reuse
Layered models reuse existing block textures, and resource packs can restyle them.

What the author says
This mod adds a bunch of layered block that work exactly like snow layers. The mod does not come with any textures at all, it re-uses whatever existing textures are loaded for the block-model, which means it is compatible with Resource Packs // Texture Packs
