More Stick Variants (MStV)
by pnku
Players who want sticks in every wood type can add More Stick Variants, a Fabric base mod that other Variant Mods build on.
What it does
Crafting recipes that call for sticks now accept each of the added stick variants, and the vanilla Stick item counts as the Oak Stick. A Bamboo Stick slot is filled by the Bamboo item itself. Fences, fence gates and signs, which are already separated by wood type, only accept their matching stick variant.
The mod is mainly a base for other Variant Mods. More Grindstone Variants is named as one such mod, and seven catalog mods list this one as a requirement, including More Weapon Variants (MStV+), More Armor Stand Variants (MStV+), More Tool Variants (MStV+), More Torch Variants (MStV+) and More (Item/Painting) Frame Variants (MStV+). Files are published for Fabric only, across 1.20.1 – 26.3.
Installation runs on the client and server, so both sides need the mod. The license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, and the project is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public. Snapshot builds are published, and the latest Fabric file is 1.4.21 for 26.3, released 2026-09-13.
Key features
Sticks for every wood type
Each wood type has its own stick item, so recipes can be matched to the wood a build uses.
Matching fence, gate and sign recipes
Fences, fence gates and signs use only the stick variant that corresponds to their wood type.
Vanilla stick mapping
The vanilla Stick is treated as the Oak Stick, and the Bamboo item takes the place of a Bamboo Stick in recipes.
Recipe updates for variant mods
Recipes that use sticks accept all variant sticks, which lets companion Variant Mods work with them.

How it compares
More Grindstone Variants is a Fabric mod with a client and server environment, published for 1.20.1 – 26.2 under the same Creative Commons license, and it adds variants to grindstone recipes that use sticks. More Loom Variants and More Lectern Variants share the same loader, range and license, and are not open source. Variant Sticks & Stuff targets Fabric and Quilt for 1.20 – 1.20.2 under the MIT License, so its version range does not reach the newer builds.
