Kiro's Basic Blocks
by countkiro
Kiro's Basic Blocks is a NeoForge decoration mod whose colorless and textured blocks are meant to be used with LittleTiles.
What it does
The blocks include brick, wood and stone looks, plus some animated blocks and emissive blocks that blink at different light levels. Colorless blocks can be recolored with the LittleTiles Paint Brush tool, which makes them useful as a neutral base for building styles and themes.
Connected textures are handled through Fusion (Connected Textures), which the mod requires, so adjacent blocks join smoothly. Both the server and every player need the mod, because the environment is client and server. Builds exist for NeoForge across 11 release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, and the source is open source under the MIT License.

How it compares
Scipi's Lights is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 that is also client and server and open source under the MIT License, but it focuses on lights rather than full block sets. LittleTiles is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.19.4 – 1.21.1, open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and is the tile system that Kiro's Basic Blocks pairs with.
