Macaw's Roofs
by sketchmacaw
Macaw's Roofs adds roof blocks that replace the stair-based workarounds builders often use, including steep roofs, lower roofs, awnings, top roofs and rain gutters.
What it does
The mod supplies roof shapes as their own blocks instead of stairs placed in patterns. Its catalog includes standard roofs, steep roofs, lower roofs, awnings and top roofs, and the author text also mentions rain gutters among the new blocks. Striped awnings come in every dye color, and the gutters fill up while it is raining.
Fabric API is required, so it has to be installed next to the mod on Fabric. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 31 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.3, under All rights reserved, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Dedicated roof blocks
Roof shapes exist as full blocks, so a roofline can be placed without arranging stairs by hand.
Steep and lower roofs
Steep roofs and lower roofs add variations in pitch and height for building different architectural styles.
Striped awnings in every color
Awnings are available in each dye color, which allows striped shopfronts and market stalls.
Rain gutters that fill in rain
Rain gutters fill up while it is raining, giving edges of a roof a functional detail.
