The Commonwealth Mod
by Lachie1770
The Commonwealth Mod adds a set of decorative building blocks, including asphalt roads, road signs, painted planks and compact storage blocks.
What it does
Its content comes from an earlier mod made for a single private server that is no longer running. The author kept the blocks and rebuilt them as a standalone release that still works in survival play. Among them are a black and white set of industrial windows and glass panes, which lets builders choose between the two looks.
Compact storage blocks in the style of iron, gold and diamond blocks are included alongside the decorative sets, so the mod covers both building and storage needs. Installation is needed on the server and on every player's client, and the mod is published for Forge and NeoForge with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. The current release is 1.0.9, and the license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Asphalt road set
A road block set in asphalt for building streets, parking areas and paths in a build.
Road sign set
Road signs that match the road blocks, for placing traffic markings on new streets.
Painted plank set
Custom painted planks in several colors, for floors, walls and interior trim.
Compact storage blocks
Storage blocks for compact item storage, filling a gap the vanilla game leaves for bulk storage.

Use cases
Building towns and roads
Builders can lay out streets with the asphalt roads, road signs and painted planks on a survival world or a server.
Decorating interiors
The painted planks and black and white windows give interiors a consistent look, and the glass panes suit both styles.
Who it’s for: Builders who want a larger set of road and decorative blocks in survival worlds, and server owners who want to keep the content of an older Commonwealth server available for their players.
How it compares
Road Decor is NeoForge only and published for 1.21.1, so it does not cover Forge or 1.20.1. Common Roads runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across a much wider range, 1.16.5 – 26.1.2, and is also all rights reserved. The Sign Pack covers Forge and NeoForge 1.12.2 – 1.21.1 and focuses on signs, so it overlaps less with the road blocks here.

What the author says
The Commonwealth Mod is a somewhat simple mod brought to you by Commonwealth Limited, Currently it features "missing" (by our standards) blocks we wanted, such as custom painted planks and a big custom road block set. Originally designed for a specific server but that is currently dead/limbo, but the Mod obviously…
