Fancy Stairs
by TrustMeImIn
Fancy Stairs adds a set of custom stair blocks for Forge 1.20.1, covering wooden stairs, casing stairs and steep variants made from stone bricks and mud bricks.
What it does
The mod adds a small set of custom stairs that sit alongside vanilla Minecraft stairs and suit builds that need more shapes than the defaults. Wooden stairs and casing stairs make up the core set, and steep stair variants in stone bricks and mud bricks are also included. The author says it pairs comfortably with other decoration content, though no specific compatibility is stated.
Switching between stair variants is done with a special hammer, so a builder can change the shape of a placed stair without crafting a new block. The author also says future variants, such as ones from Biomes O' Plenty, are planned. Additional non-vanilla stairs can be added through a DataPack that defines new recipes, which lets a modpack maker extend the set without changing the mod itself.
Fancy Stairs is published for Forge only, with 1.0.7 for 1.20.1 as the latest file, first released on 2026-08-09. It is licensed under the MIT License but is not open source. Only the client and server sides are involved, so both must run it.
Key features
Wooden and casing stairs
The core set includes wooden stairs and casing stairs, placed and crafted like vanilla stairs.
Steep stone and mud brick stairs
Steeper stair variants made from stone bricks and mud bricks give builders extra profiles for roofs and facades.
Hammer variant switching
A special hammer cycles a placed stair through its variants, so the shape can be changed in place.
DataPack recipe extension
A DataPack can define recipes for additional non-vanilla stairs, so modpacks can add stair types without editing the mod.
