Chisel 3
by TheCricket
Chisel 3 adds a large set of decorative variant blocks that are reached through one chisel tool, and ball, cloud and bottle items for changing the world around the player.
What it does
Access to the new blocks comes mostly through a single tool. The chisel is crafted from an iron ingot, a stick and a diagonal pattern. Right-clicking it opens a chisel GUI, and placing a block in the middle of the grid turns the other blocks of the same type into the variants shown there.
Chisel 3 also adds two items. The Ball O Moss is thrown like a snowball and mossifies nearby blocks, so Stone Brick becomes Mossy Stone and Brick works the same way with Cobblestone. The Cloud Bottle is thrown in the same manner and creates a large amount of clouds at the point of impact. Smashing a rock decays the blocks in the splash area, and a painterly texture pack is among the textures that the variants draw on.
The mod is useful for construction and sits in the World generation category, with Decoration and Utility also listed. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It requires CTMLib. Source code and an issue tracker are public, and the code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.

Who it’s for: Builders who want many decorative block variants from one tool, and server owners who want those blocks available to every player.

What the author says
This mod was originally created by AUTOMATIC_MAIDEN. Then maintained by Pokefenn. Now it is my turn to carry the torch. I love the mod so much I could not let it die Chisel adds a huge variety of static blocks to the game. This mod will be very useful for people who like the construction aspect of Minecraft.
