DiscoverBlocks
by ModDude
DiscoverBlocks adds building block variants that vanilla Minecraft has never included, such as slabs, stairs, walls and brick sets.
What it does
Players who build castles, villages, houses or detailed interiors get extra block options. Each new block copies the mining speed, sounds, behavior and mechanics of the vanilla set it matches, so it slots into an existing build while the original game stays unchanged. Cracked brick sets can be made in a furnace, and the crafting and stonecutter recipes are kept close to vanilla ones. The mod is integrated with the Recipe Book, so new recipes show up there.
DiscoverBlocks is a Fabric mod that runs on the client and the server. The server and every player need it. The files are for Minecraft 26.1.2 only, and the latest Fabric file is 1.0, released on 2026-10-15. The mod was first published on 2026-07-27. The author plans to add more building block variants over time, and the mod is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
