LittleTiles
by creativemd
Players who want fine-grained building can hammer LittleTiles blocks into tiles, then join them into doors, chairs, ladders and other furniture.
What it does
LittleTiles lets a player break an ordinary block into tiles that can be thousands of times smaller than a standard block. The pieces are then combined into custom shapes, so a bed, a storage unit or a set of stairs can be built at a much finer scale than vanilla blocks allow. The author describes the result as furniture-style structures built from small parts.
The mod is aimed at builders who want more detail in their work. Development began in 2015, and the author notes that much of the code went through a long period of tuning and bug fixing. The mod requires CreativeCore, which must be installed alongside it. Two catalog mods depend on LittleTiles, A Little Extra Tiles and LittleTilesImportOld, and the latter is the author's suggested route for converting an older world.
LittleTiles is published for Forge and NeoForge across 5 release versions, 1.19.4 – 1.21.1, with files for 1.19.4, 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.20.2 and 1.21.1. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source, issue tracker and wiki are public. The author states that Optifine is no longer supported, and recommends shader and rendering alternatives instead.

The LittleTiles 3d Importer, by Timardo, is listed by the author as a related tool for bringing in outside models.

Use cases
Furniture building
Players build chairs, beds, doors and storage from tiles to decorate houses and bases.

Builders shape walls, ladders and other parts at a scale finer than vanilla blocks.

How it compares
Builder's Delight is a Forge and NeoForge option for 1.18.2 – 1.21.1, with a client and server environment, but it is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Kiro's Basic Blocks is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, also client and server, and is open source under the MIT License. Different Doors is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, so it targets doors rather than general tile building.

What the author says
It does NOT support Optifine anymore. Use Sodium and Iris instead. If you want to convert your old world from 1.12 install LittleTilesImportOld. This mod allows you to build anything you want. It adds a way to add more detail to everything. You can hammer blocks into tiles which can be 4096 (or even more) times…
