HammerMicroblocks
by Zeith
HammerMicroblocks adds decorative microblocks in 26 types, which players shape into slabs, panels, covers and corners on Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
Placed microblocks take the appearance of the block they are made from, so a wall can be finished with a thinner or differently shaped surface without new textures. The HammerMultipart API that the mod is built on lets other mods use facades, and it helps stop unwanted connections between multipart blocks. The microblocks start with 1.20.1.
Installing the mod requires HammerLib and HammerMultipart. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 across three release versions, 1.20.1, 1.21 and 1.21.1, and the code is under All rights reserved, not open source. Public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker.
Key features
26 microblock types
Slabs, panels, covers, triple panels, triple covers and hollow pillar corners are among the shapes available.
Facades
A microblock can be given the look of another block, so a surface keeps its finish while its shape changes.
Anti-cover shape
An anti-cover variant fills the opposite side of a cover, helping complete a surface with less cutting.
Hollow pillar corners
Hollow corner pieces for pillars let builders finish the edges of columns in several microblock materials.

Use cases
Finishing building edges
Slabs and corner pieces give walls and pillars cleaner edges than full blocks do.
Modpack builds
Modpack authors can use the microblocks for decorative trim across a pack.
Who it’s for: Builders who want thin or shaped decorative blocks on Forge or NeoForge, and modpack authors who need facades that do not create unwanted connections between multipart blocks.

What the author says
This mod adds decorative microblocks to HammerMultipart API to allow users to have facades and prevent unwanted connections between multipart. You are not allowed to include this (or any other mods of the DragonForge team) in your own mod. Building add-ons, however, is allowed, but a friendly PM would be good.
