Estheriel's Weird As Blocks
by Estheriel_14
Estheriel's Weird As Blocks is a Forge and NeoForge decoration mod that adds a small set of decorative building blocks based on three wood types.
What it does
Each of the three wood types gains two panel blocks that can be placed in a directional orientation, in two variants, with metal bands on some of them. The author describes the blocks as filling gaps that vanilla blocks leave for detailed builds, and the recipes are available through a stonecutter. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.21.8, with the latest Forge file 0.2.0 for 1.20.1 and the latest NeoForge file 0.1.1 for 1.21.8, released under the MIT License and not open source.
Key features
Wood-based panels
Two panel blocks per wood type, placed with a chosen direction, for finishing walls and trim.
Metal band variants
Some of the new blocks carry metal bands, giving a contrasting detail to wooden builds.
Stonecutter recipes
The new blocks are crafted through the stonecutter, so no separate crafting station is needed.
