Decorative Blocks
by TheWinABagel
With Decorative Blocks installed, players can place a set of small decorative blocks such as a bonfire, a thatch bale, wooden palisades and a climbable big chain.
What it does
The mod adds several decorative blocks for building. Bonfire is activated by tossing blaze powder into fire, and the activator item can be changed in the config. Thatch turns into a fluid-like state when a hay bale is cut open with shears, and hoes remove it again. Other additions include palisade blocks made from wood, beam blocks in a wooden style, a chandelier that can be crafted back into four torches, rocky dirt that reverts into four dirt, a stone pillar and a big chain that can be climbed.
Architectury API is required and must be installed alongside the mod. Decorative Blocks is open source under the MIT License, supports Fabric, Forge and Quilt, and is published for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1. The server and every player need the mod installed. The project no longer receives updates because its original developer went back to modding, and the author suggests using that developer's version instead.
