MCBlocks
by jdude323
MCBlocks is a Forge decoration mod that adds a small set of decorative blocks, with some blocks from Minecraft 1.18 and later included.
What it does
The mod adds decorative blocks to the game and includes a few blocks that come from Minecraft 1.18 and later, so builders on older versions can use them. Two mechanics are documented: the copper oxidization behavior and how Cobbled Deepslate and Deepslate are obtained. Both sides of a multiplayer game must run the mod, since the environment is client and server.
The author explains that the 1.18 and later blocks were added to 1.16 because they suit many builds better, and that more releases are planned for the future. Files are published for Forge only, for the game versions 1.15.2, 1.16.4 and 1.16.5. The latest file is 1.16.4-1.0 for 1.16.5, published on 2024-01-20. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.

What the author says
MCBlocks adds some new decorative blocks in the game. It includes some blocks in Minecraft 1.18+. Why did I make this? - I wanted to have the 1.18+ blocks added into some older version because it would fit in nicer with my builds. - For you guys to make cooler builds with the blocks accessible from newer versions.
