BlocksExpansion
by k3nder
With BlocksExpansion installed, builders get a set of stone, nether and prismarine brick variants that sit alongside vanilla blocks in the creative inventory.
What it does
The mod adds a building block expansion built around brick types that vanilla Minecraft lacks, such as stone brick pillars, nether brick pillars, red nether brick fences, and cracked or chiseled red nether bricks. It also adds cracked and chiseled prismarine bricks. The author states the set comes to more than 50 non-solid and decorative variants, and presents them as an option for decorating a base rather than as a replacement for vanilla blocks.
The author encourages mixing the blocks with those from other decoration mods, naming Quark and Builder's Delight as examples. The author also notes that the blocks are styled to look like vanilla Minecraft. The mod runs on the client and server, so both the server and every player need it, and it requires Fabric API. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.19.2 – 1.21.4, with 1.3.1+1.21.4 as the latest file, released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only. The source code is public.
Key features
Pillar variants
Stone brick pillars and nether brick pillars extend the column shapes that builders use for entrances and facades.
Red nether brick set
Red nether brick fences, pillars, cracked bricks and chiseled bricks make up a matched group for one colour scheme.
Prismarine brick variants
Cracked and chiseled prismarine bricks add weathered and carved finishes to ocean-themed builds.
Vanilla-styled blocks
The blocks are styled to look like vanilla Minecraft, so they blend into existing builds without a distinct texture style.

What the author says
Now, I know that there several different mods like this one out there, but half of them are for Fabric (and no, I do not have plans to port this to Fabric, so please don't ask), and I wanted to give you guys more options when it comes to decorating your base. In fact, I strongly encourage you guys to mix-and-match…
