Vertical slabs
by HearthianDev
Vertical slabs adds a half-block shape that stands upright along one wall, letting players build with a finer step than the vanilla slab allows.
What it does
Each vertical slab fills half of a block on its side, so two of them placed on the same spot make a full block. Waterlogged pairs work as a full block, and a player can set the four different orientations used when placing them. Crafting uses the regular slabs: a crafting grid turns regular slabs into vertical ones and back again.
The mod is for Fabric only and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code and issue tracker publicly linked. Builds cover 1.20.5 – 26.3, with 2.2.0-26.3 as the latest file for 26.3.

What the author says
This mod adds vertical slabs for each vanilla slab. They can be waterlogged, placed in pairs as a full block and in the four different orientations, just as regular slabs but vertically.
