Countered's Terrain Slabs - Connector Edition
by Souldbminer
Countered's Terrain Slabs - Connector Edition replaces blocky terrain steps with slabs that blend into the natural landscape, both on the surface and underground.
What it does
The mod changes how terrain is generated by introducing custom slabs at ground and ceiling positions. Where the world would otherwise show harsh stepped edges, the slabs smooth the transitions so hills and cave walls look more continuous. Slabs are generated across the whole chunk, so they appear only at exposed surfaces inside caves rather than filling solid rock, which keeps underground exploration closer to a natural feel.
The slabs are made from a range of common materials, including dirt, grass, mycelium, moss, gravel and sand, as well as clay and deepslate. A few of the generated slabs fall under gravity, mirroring the behavior of the full blocks they are cut from. Breaking a custom slab drops the block it was made from, and if the inventory is full the item is not kept, so players who do not want the extra items can ignore them. Slab generation can be switched on or off in the world through the embedded Midnightlib options. The mod requires Sinytra Connector, which lets Fabric mods run on other loaders, and it works alongside Connector.

How it compares
FractalTerrain is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 under a custom license and is not open source, and it also runs on the client and server. Terrainless World Generation covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.19 – 1.21.10 and is open source under the MIT License, with a server required and the client optional. d3v_c's Terrain Overhaul targets 1.21.11 only and is server-side only under the MIT License, so clients need nothing.
