More Layers
by kripesh101
More Layers adds snow-like layer blocks for dirt, grass, sand, stone and many other blocks, so players can shape smoother landscapes.
What it does
Layers are thin partial blocks that can be placed on many surfaces, including grass, dirt, leaves, sand, gravel, coarse dirt, mud, concrete powder and several stone variants. Layers can be crafted at a stonecutter from a matching source block, and a single layer is removed with a right click while sneaking. Hoes, pickaxes and shovels are the correct tools for the blocks they work on, and the placement logic was reworked to handle sneak-placing four layers at once as a half block.
The mod also covers newer blocks, including hay blocks, nine leaf types and deepslate, netherrack, blackstone, basalt, nylium, obsidian and end stone variants. Its data assets are generated at runtime with ARRP and BRRP, so no datapack has to be installed by hand. The project is a modification of an earlier layers mod by another author, and the original mod is linked from its page.
Fabric API is required. More Layers runs on Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.19.2 and 1.19.3, and the client and server both need it. The mod is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker publicly available. Its latest file is 2.6.3 for 1.19.3, published on 2022-12-15.
Key features
Snow-like layers
Layer blocks can be placed on dirt, grass, leaves, sand, gravel and stone variants to build partial-height surfaces.
Crafting at a stonecutter
Layers are crafted at a stonecutter from the matching source block, and a single layer can be shaved off with a sneaking right click.
Sneak placement
Sneaking while placing layers puts four of them in place as a half block, which speeds up shaping slopes.
Extra block coverage
Hay blocks, nine leaf types, concrete powder in 16 colors, deepslate, nylium and end stone variants are covered as well.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Builders and terrain shapers who want partial blocks on natural surfaces, and server owners who want the same layer blocks available to every player.
How it compares
Layer Control is a client-side only option with the same layer theme, available for Fabric and Quilt across 1.19 – 1.21.3 under the MIT License and open source. Slabs & Layers+ also adds layers but is not open source, is released under All rights reserved, and covers 1.20 – 1.20.4 on Fabric. More More Layers focuses on the same surfaces, and its environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it.

What the author says
This is a modification of the More Layers mod by MCrafterzz. Link to the original mod. To shave off a single layer, right click while sneaking. This action also converts a block to 8 layers. You must have the correct tool (Pickaxe / Hoe / Shovel) depending on the block for this to work.
