Get my blocks back

Name: Get my blocks back
Author: SozoKa

Get my blocks back returns part of the material spent when a player crafts stairs and slabs from full blocks, so fewer blocks are lost in the process.

What it does

Crafting slabs and stairs in vanilla Minecraft consumes more blocks than the finished pieces contain, and this mod recovers some of those blocks when stairs and slabs are made. Players who build with these shapes keep more of their stock, which suits survival bases and large projects where materials run short.

The server must run the mod, while a player may leave it out. Files cover 26.1 – 26.3 for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the code is under the Apache License 2.0, a permissive license that is not open source.

Key features

Stairs and slabs refund
Placing four stairs in a square shape returns three blocks to the player, so the crafting loss is partly undone.
Slab crafting recovery
Two slabs crafted vertically into a full block are recognized, and the surplus material is handed back to the player.
Quick updates
The author publishes new builds fast and keeps the mod current from the first day of each Minecraft release.
