More Metal Grates
by Minor2CCh
More Metal Grates adds grate blocks in several metals and stones, crafted from ingots and blocks with a stonecutter.
What it does
Grates are added in more metals and stones than copper alone, including quartz, smooth quartz, lapis and redstone variants. Each one follows the crafting pattern used for copper grates, arranging blocks in a grid, while netherite grates are made from ingots instead of blocks. A stonecutter converts a block into four grates, and a single block can be turned into four grates at a time, so one block gives four grate blocks.
The mod is a decoration mod and is built on Fabric API, which is required on every loader. Copper Grates Bubble is an optional companion, and builds from 3.0.0 onward work with it, so bubbles can pass through the new grate blocks just as they pass through copper grates. Because the blocks inherit the GrateBlock class, other mods that handle grates can treat them as grates.
Installation covers the server and each player's game. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and files cover the game versions 1.20 – 26.3 across 18 release versions, with the latest Fabric and NeoForge files for 26.3 and the latest Forge file for 1.20.1. The code is under the MIT License and the source is public.
Key features
Grates in several materials
Grate blocks come in quartz, smooth quartz, lapis, redstone and netherite, in addition to the copper grates they extend.
Stonecutter conversion
A stonecutter turns one block into four grates, so a block of each material yields four grate blocks.
Netherite from ingots
Netherite grates are crafted from ingots rather than blocks, which keeps the crafting cost in line with the material.
Bubble compatibility
Bubbles pass through the added grates when Copper Grates Bubble is installed, matching copper grates.

How it compares
Iron Grate is a Fabric-only mod for 1.21 – 26.3 with a Client and server environment, released under the MIT License and open source. Copper Grate Forge is a NeoForge-only mod for 1.21.4 with a Client and server environment, but it is not open source and is All rights reserved. Metal Fences covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.19.2 – 26.3 and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so a player who wants fences rather than grates may choose it instead.

What the author says
Copper grates were added in MC1.21, so I wanted to add various grates other than copper.I know there is a wooden grate in another mod, so this time I wanted to add a metal grate. It is basically made in the same way as copper grates by arranging blocks, with the exception of netherite, which is made using ingots…
