FramedBlocks
by XFactHD
With FramedBlocks installed, players can craft building blocks in many shapes that copy the look of almost any other block in the game.
What it does
Framed blocks come as a cube, slopes, corner slopes, inner corner slopes, prism corners, inner prism corners, threeway corners and inner threeway corners. Slopes, corner slopes and inner corner slopes can also be placed vertically. Each block takes on the appearance of a chosen source block, so a framed wall can look like stone, wood or any other material in the game.
The mod is built for decoration and building work in survival worlds and on servers. Framed blocks keep their chosen look after placement, and the shape selection can be read left to right and front to back. Full lighting on every shape depends on a client-side lighting option that is switched on in a config file. A few configuration options tune certain behaviour, and the main ones are listed in the mod's documentation.
FramedBlocks requires Forge or NeoForge and is published for 1.16.5 – 26.1.2 across nine release versions. Its latest Forge file is 9.4.3 for 1.20.1, and its latest NeoForge file is 10.6.3 for 1.21.1. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Three catalog mods require it: Fix Framed Blocks, IA + TFG Integration and Vehicles & More. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.

Use cases
Disguised walls and floors
Framed cubes and slopes can copy the appearance of stone, wood or other materials, which lets builders hide structure behind a chosen surface.
Roofs and angled details
Slopes, corner slopes and prism corners help form roofs, bevels and other angled parts of a build.
Who it’s for: Builders and decorators in survival worlds, adventure maps and multiplayer servers, who want shapes beyond the standard full block set.
