More Beautiful Slabs
by BlackWolf00
With More Beautiful Slabs installed, a slab can be crafted for almost any vanilla block, taking its texture from that block.
What it does
The mod adds around 240 new slabs, each one extracting the texture of the vanilla block it matches, so the slab looks like its full block. Creating a new slab first needs a Slab Frame, and the frame takes the block texture that the slab should carry. Slabs follow the vanilla game recipe pattern, and some crafts return two slabs at once. A number of slabs glow in the same way as the blocks they are based on, and a few have special variants such as Fire Slab, Fire Soul Slab, Lava Slab and a Nether Portal Slab in two versions.
The mod requires Blackwolf Library, which must be installed alongside it on every loader. Its textures can be overridden with resource packs as usual, and it is compatible with resource packs. Recipes are shown in Enough Items (JEI), where players can look up the slabs that need a particular crafting setup. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with 11 release versions covering 1.20.1 – 26.3.
Key features
Texture-matched slabs
Around 240 slabs take the texture of the vanilla block they correspond to, so each one matches its full block.
Slab Frame crafting
A new slab is made by combining a Slab Frame with the block texture wanted, following the vanilla slab recipe.
Light-emitting slabs
Some slabs emit light like the blocks they are based on, which affects lighting in builds that use them.
Special slab variants
Fire Slab, Fire Soul Slab, Lava Slab, a Strange Slab texture and a two-version Nether Portal Slab extend the set.
Resource pack support
Textures can be overridden with resource packs, as with other vanilla-style textures.
