Modest Masonry
by Baisylia
Modest Masonry adds decorative stone and wood building blocks for Forge, with brick types, pillars, tiles and carved variants.
What it does
Blocks are added in several families. Bricks are sold in three kinds (regular, chalk and charcoal), and adobe bricks join them in cracked and mossy forms. Polished brick pillars and set blocks work in a similar way to the vanilla stone sets, so builders can mix them with existing materials.
Wood types get their own set of tile, pillar, carved, chiseled and panel variants. Recipes for these pieces use a new plank item. A compatibility layer lets other modded woods take part in the same set of variants.
Installation needs Forge, and the environment is client and server, so both the server and every player need the mod. Builds cover 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, with 0.2.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file, released under All rights reserved. The author has backported the mod to versions before 1.19.2 and ported it to newer ones.
Key features
Three brick types
Regular, chalk and charcoal bricks each have their own block set for walls, stairs and slabs.
Adobe and weathered bricks
Adobe bricks come with cracked and mossy variants, so older-looking builds can be made from the same pieces.
Polished brick pillars
Polished brick pillars and set blocks follow the placement pattern of stone sets, keeping builds consistent.
Carved and panel wood variants
Each wood type gains tile, pillar, carved, chiseled and panel blocks, crafted from a new plank item.

Use cases
Building with mixed woods
The compatibility layer lets modded woods use the same tile, pillar and panel variants as the built-in woods.
Who it’s for: The mod suits builders who want more decorative stone and wood pieces for houses, villages and themed constructions. Server owners who run modpacks can add it to a shared world, as long as both sides run the same build.
