Engraved Planks
by Terra_XYZ
Engraved Planks adds a decorative sub-variant of the vanilla wooden planks, with an engraved look for each wood type.
What it does
Each vanilla plank type gets an engraved counterpart, so builders can add patterns to floors, walls and roofs without changing the plank shape. Nine wooden planks of one type are arranged in a crafting table to produce nine engraved planks, and oak planks alone give engraved oak planks. The result suits mansions and other builds where the surface pattern is part of the look.
The mod is a Forge build for 1.21.1 and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it installed. It is released under All rights reserved, which means the code is not open source. The author has paused development, and a later update for a newer Minecraft version is mentioned but not published.
Key features
Engraved plank variants
Each wood type gets an engraved sub-variant that sits alongside its vanilla plank in the creative tab.
Crafting from one plank type
Nine planks of a single wood type in a crafting table yield nine engraved planks of that type.
Patterned surfaces
The engraved texture adds a pattern to large surfaces such as floors, walls and ceilings in a build.
Vanilla-matched recipes
Engraved oak planks come from oak planks, and the same pattern works for the other wood types.
