Builder's Paradise
by TheWorksofBH
Builder's Paradise fills gaps in vanilla block families by adding new block types such as polished dripstone, calcite bricks and obsidian bricks.
What it does
The mod completes many vanilla block families by adding block types that the base game lacks, so a build can use matching stone, dripstone, calcite, basalt, obsidian and snow variants. Its new families are meant to be used as building material, and the author describes the goal as filling pre-existing gaps in those families.
Several additions were shaped by the author's own work on textures and interface details: block textures were made to follow the existing blocks, granite, diorite and andesite bricks drew on earlier texture work, and fixes were made to the fletching table screen and to chiseled bookshelves. Compatibility with JEI was also added. The mod is for NeoForge and requires the NeoForge loader only.
Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files exist for 26.2 and the other versions it covers, 1.21.4 – 26.2, with the author stating that work targets 1.21.4 and 26.1.x and that porting to earlier versions is not planned. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
