Fake Blocks
by Charlie214
Fake Blocks gives players sixteen decorative blocks that look like solid stone but can be walked through, and it adds survival-friendly crafting recipes for them.
What it does
Sixteen fake blocks are added, several of them copies of ordinary stone types such as Smooth Stone, Mossy Cobblestone and Cobbled Deepslate. Each one looks like its solid counterpart, yet players and mobs pass straight through it, which suits illusion walls, hidden passages and cursed build themes. Crafting recipes use materials that are reachable in normal survival play, so the blocks can be made without creative tools.
The mod needs Fabric API, which must be installed next to it on Fabric. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.8 across five release versions, and the code is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.

Use cases
Hidden passages
A wall built from a fake block can hide a corridor or room that players must walk into to discover.
Cursed build themes
The walk-through blocks suit spooky or illusion-based builds where walls behave unexpectedly.
Who it’s for: Survival players and map builders who want stone-looking walls that do not block movement, and server owners who run adventure maps with hidden routes.
