Macaw's Paths and Pavings
by sketchmacaw
Paths and pavings made of wood and stone sit in the decoration set of Macaw's Paths and Pavings, added to the Macaw's Mod series by sketchmacaw.
What it does
Macaw's Paths and Pavings adds wooden paths in every wooden variant, along with six pavings that come in eleven texture variations. The content is styled after vanilla blocks so new builds blend with the existing ones. A later update added Running Bond paths, including slabs and full blocks, for players who want a brick-like pattern.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 31 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.3. It is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are linked from the project page. Faithful Backrooms and Block Runner - Macaw's Paths and Pavings Compat both require this mod.
Key features
Wooden paths
Paths are offered in every wooden variant, so they match the planks and logs already used in a build.
Six pavings
Six paving blocks come in eleven texture variations, giving a range of surfaces for roads and plazas.
Running Bond patterns
Paths and blocks in a Running Bond layout, with matching slabs, were added in a later update.
Vanilla styling
Textures follow the look of vanilla blocks, so the new pieces sit alongside the game's own decoration.

How it compares
Decorative Pavers is for Forge and NeoForge only, with files for 1.18 – 26.2 under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Artisanat is also not open source; it uses a custom license and runs on Fabric and Quilt for 1.16.2 – 26.1.2. Ruhuna's Road is open source under the MIT License but targets only Forge for 1.20.1.
