Carpenter's Delight
Carpenter's Delight is a Fabric woodworking mod where two plank types can be combined into one block, with mixed slabs and logs crafted at a Carpenter's Bench.
What it does
Two different plank blocks can be combined at a Carpenter's Bench into a mixed-plank block that uses the actual textures of both source woods. Each of the two opposite faces shows one complete wood texture, while the other four faces carry a stepped blend of both. The order in which the two inputs are placed decides which wood fills a solid face. Mixed blocks support 24 complete cube orientations, so a builder can choose which face shows which wood.
The mod also crafts log blocks from three identical logs with one iron ingot above them, and the logs decide the look of the bench output. Placed slabs can be stacked into a different slab on an empty half, and the mod creates real slab blocks for vanilla and modded logs. The mod is built for wooden construction and expands it without replacing the vanilla style. Client and server both need it, and it is published for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Mixed planks from real textures
Two plank blocks combine into one block that uses their baked textures, with no custom art needed.
Connected symmetric placement
Placing a mixed block against an identical one copies its full orientation, keeping the wood pattern aligned.
Shift placement override
Holding Shift while placing skips automatic alignment, so the orientation can be set by hand.
Mixed slabs and stacking
Two different slabs stack into one block, and fireproof wooden builds can use Fireproof Powder.
