Bricklayer
by Hollogrimm
Bricklayer, a Decoration mod for 1.18.2 on Fabric and Forge, adds dyed, carved, painted and terracotta brick variants to the building palette.
What it does
Dyed bricks turn the basic brick blocks into colored variants, and each dyed brick also comes with matching slabs, stairs and walls. Large bricks are crafted from the basic bricks and dyes, and they supply a set of Large Brick blocks with dyed versions as well. Carved brick blocks can be obtained by putting terracotta through a stonecutter, so the mod gives terracotta a route into the brick family.
Crafting a brick block now yields four blocks instead of one, which makes large builds cheaper to produce. Vanilla bricks receive re-textured versions that match the mod's visual style, and terracotta blocks gain their own stair, slab and wall shapes. Painted bricks are created by adding a dye to brick blocks.
The mod is published for Fabric and Forge, with Fabric 1.0.2-FABRIC and Forge 1.0.3-FORGE for 1.18.2. It runs on client and server, so servers and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved, and it is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.
