Moss Layers
by Bobily
Moss Layers adds a thin moss block that can be stacked like snow layers, with eight stackable layers per block.
What it does
Moss layers are placed the way snow layers are, so players can stack them on a surface one layer at a time. A three-block crafting recipe yields 24 moss layers, and each layer drops itself when broken. Tools with enchantments are required to collect the block as intended.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. Builds exist for Fabric only, for 1.18 – 1.21.3, and the code is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes the project open source.
Key features
Stackable moss layers
Moss layers are placed like snow layers and stack up to eight high on a single block position.
Crafting recipe
Three moss blocks in a line craft 24 moss layers, so the block is cheap to make in quantity.
Self-dropping layers
Each moss layer drops itself when mined, so layers can be collected and placed again.
