More Slabs!
by LightAndy
Players who craft slabs and later need the full blocks back can use More Slabs, a datapack that recrafts slabs into their original blocks.
What it does
More Slabs is a datapack with recipes that turn slabs back into full blocks. A player who crafted slabs from a stone, wood or brick block can recraft them into the whole block without losing material, so a resource drain from crafting slabs can be reversed when the blocks are needed in their original form.
The server must run the datapack, while players may add it on their side, since the environment is server required with client optional. The datapack is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across 5 release versions, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. It is not open source. The latest files are 1.4.1 for 1.20.4, dated 2024-03-21.
The recipes work with the available slab types, and a crafting table handles the conversion. The datapack is aimed at builders and resource-conscious players on the versions it covers, and its author asks for feedback on the catalog page.
Key features
Slab to block recipes
Recipes convert a slab back into the full block it came from, using the material of the slabs already held.
Crafting table conversion
Slabs are converted in a normal crafting table, so no new block or machine is needed.
Material recovery
Reversing a slab keeps the inventory organized and avoids throwing away building blocks made from the same stone.
Slab type coverage
The recipes cover the slab types the datapack supports, and the author lists block compatibility with other content.

Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want to recover building material from slabs with Fabric, Forge or Quilt.
