Dirt Slab
by justfatlard
Dirt Slab adds half-height versions of dirt-type blocks, stone variants and sandstone to Fabric worlds, with plants and snow layers that work on the slabs.
What it does
Slabs are added for dirt, coarse dirt, grass path, rooted dirt, farmland and the stone family (stone, deepslate, tuff, andesite, diorite, granite), along with sandstone variants. The blocks use full vanilla parity and are listed in the Building blocks tab of the creative inventory. Crafting uses three full blocks for six slabs, a dirt path is made from a grass path, and a shovel can split a full block into halves when placed while sneaking and right-clicking.
Terrain slabs generate naturally in the world, which smooths the transitions between elevations. Plants such as wheat, carrots, flowers, ferns, mushrooms and cave vines render correctly on bottom slabs, and sugar cane, bamboo and cactus grow on a slab as they would on full ground. Snow layers also work on bottom slabs.
Dirt Slab is built for Fabric and requires Fabric API. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Builds cover 1.21.11 and 26.3 under the MIT License, and the source code is public.
Key features
Half-height dirt and stone
Slab versions of dirt, coarse dirt, grass path, rooted dirt, farmland and the stone family are placeable blocks.
Plant rendering on slabs
Bottom slabs display plants with the vertical offset the game gives full blocks, including the vanilla saplings.
Splitting full blocks
A shovel placed while sneaking and clicking splits a full block into halves, and three blocks craft six slabs.
Natural terrain slabs
Slabs generate in terrain, creating smoother transitions between elevations in newly generated chunks.

What the author says
A Minecraft mod built on Fabric that adds dirt-type slab blocks with full vanilla parity. All slabs appear in the Building Blocks creative tab. Three of the full block in a row craft six slabs (dirt path makes the grass path slab), and a shovel halves a full block in place (sneak + right-click).
