Nova Stones
Nova Stones adds large families of decorative stone blocks, each with stairs, slabs and walls, for NeoForge on 1.21.1.
What it does
Each stone family in the mod comes with a full set of variants: rough, smooth, polished, bricks, clean bricks and large bricks, along with stairs, slabs and walls. Stone types named in the author text include slate, marble, travertine, schist, gneiss, chert, alabaster and onyx. Natural terrain produces the rough and base forms of each stone, and stonecutting or crafting turns them into the remaining variants.
Both the server and every player need the mod, since the environment is client and server. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, under the MIT License. The code is not open source.
