Metro Deco
by Othercakes
Metro Deco, by Othercakes, adds decorative metro-station pieces for players who build transit stations: ceiling lights, benches, colored light panels and steel girders.
What it does
The mod is a transportation decoration pack. It supplies blocks meant to dress up metro train stations, and each piece has its own crafting recipe, so the set can be used in any build. Ceiling lights come in three sizes, four bench variations serve only as decoration, seven colored light panels add accent lighting, and four colored steel girders frame structures. The author recommends JEI or a similar recipe viewer to look up the crafting recipes.
Metro Deco is published for Fabric and Forge across seven release versions, 1.20 – 1.20.6, and is released under the MIT License. It is not open source. Because the environment is client and server, both the server and every player need the mod installed. Files for Fabric target 1.20.6, and the latest Forge file is 1.2.2 for 1.20.1.
Key features
Ceiling lights in three sizes
Ceiling light blocks come in three sizes, so a station roof can use lights matched to its span.
Decorative benches
Four bench variations are placed only for appearance and do not change how players or trains use the station.
Colored light panels
Seven colored light panels provide accent lighting for platforms, walls and signage areas.
Colored steel girders
Four colored steel girders support the look of station frames and canopies.

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits builders and server owners who create metro lines or stations and want decorative blocks for them. Players who only ride trains without building stations have little use for it.
How it compares
Metro Madrid add MTR is a Forge mod for 1.20.1, released under the Apache License 2.0 and not open source, so it targets a different and narrower version than Metro Deco.

Aboba's deco is a Forge decoration option for 1.20.1 under the MIT License, the same license as Metro Deco, with the same client and server environment.
