More Decorative Blocks
by BlackWolf00
With More Decorative Blocks installed, a builder can pick from around 240 new blocks in 11 categories, each texture taken from its vanilla counterpart.
What it does
The additions cover fences, gates, ladders, pressure plates, vertical slabs and other decorative shapes, and each new block follows the recipe pattern of its vanilla category. Some blocks emit light like their vanilla versions. Creating a new block starts with a Frame for the chosen category, and the Frame takes the texture of the block a builder wants to copy, so a Wooden Door Frame yields a door and a Frame Trapdoor yields a trapdoor.
The mod needs Blackwolf Library to work, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with the latest file, 1.3.1, targeting 26.3, and the code is licensed as All rights reserved. Textures can be overridden with resource packs as usual, and the blocks work with the Enough Items mod (JEI) for looking up recipes.
