NX Roads and Skyscrapers
by nickxcraft
Players building city streets on Forge can place NX Roads and Skyscrapers, a block set for roads, ramps, solid blocks and glass blocks.
What it does
The mod targets players who want tidy roads in Minecraft cities without installing a complex texture pack. Its road set includes 31 blocks with white markings and 31 with yellow markings, plus 16 white-marked and 6 yellow-marked ramps that rise one block. Each ramp adds a single block of elevation, so road surfaces can climb gently between floors.
Beyond the road set, the mod includes 53 solid full blocks, two colors of concrete and 33 glass full blocks for building the surrounding structures. The author describes the crafting recipes as intentionally limited: only the basic road block is meant for regular survival crafting, and the other pieces are aimed at creative play. The mod is inspired by the older Realistic Road Mod, which the author says has been discontinued.
NX Roads and Skyscrapers runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for Forge only, in builds for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, released under the MIT License. The author works on the project alone and says that future updates cannot be promised.
