Missing Links
by Willatendo
Missing Links adds stairs, slabs, walls, buttons, pressure plates and levers for eight stone-type blocks that vanilla leaves incomplete, such as andesite and calcite.
What it does
Each of the eight block families gets the variant shapes that vanilla leaves out. Andesite, diorite, granite and cobbled deepslate receive buttons, pressure plates and levers. Calcite, tuff, dripstone and smooth basalt receive stairs, slabs, walls, buttons, pressure plates and levers. The added blocks craft and place like their vanilla counterparts, so they fit into existing builds without new mechanics.
The additions are decorative and aimed at building projects that need more trim options than vanilla offers. Builders who want consistent finishes across a structure can use the matching variants from the same block family. Fabric API is required, and the mod is published for both Fabric and Forge.
Missing Links runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.20.1 and 1.20.4, with the latest Fabric build 6.0.0 for 1.20.4 and the latest Forge build 5.0.0 for 1.20.1. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source and issue tracker links.

Spice up your building with all the new slabs, stairs, and walls! Go wild! This mod only adds ones that are already in the game. No new sets are added, only what feels like Mojang could realistically one day add to the game. This mod is also designed to mostly nurture and foster your creativity, like Mojang attemts…
