New Slab Variants
by Lupin
New Slab Variants adds more than 200 slabs cut from many building blocks, including wooden tiles and tiles made from mineral blocks.
What it does
Slabs are made for a large set of building blocks, and their textures are drawn to match the game's vanilla blocks. The additions cover new varieties as well, so a builder can use a half-height piece of a material that had none before. The slabs behave the way vanilla slabs do when placed, and other decoration mods can still help position slabs of different materials within one block.
The mod targets Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across ten release versions, 1.20 – 26.1.2, and needs MonoLib installed beside it. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The author states that it is released under All rights reserved, and the source code is publicly available.
