Obsidian's Bricks
by obsidian29
Obsidian's Bricks adds stained brick variants that players craft by dyeing plain bricks, with stairs, slabs and walls for each color.
What it does
Sixteen stained brick variants are added, one for each dye color. A player crafts a stained brick by placing a dye in the middle of a crafting grid around plain brick blocks, and the same recipe returns eight dyed bricks from one stained block. Stairs, slabs and walls are craftable for every dyed brick, and stonecutter recipes are enabled so the blocks can be cut quickly.
The mod is aimed at city-building projects, where a builder wants many brick colors and matching shapes. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Obsidian's Bricks is published for Fabric only, across six release versions 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, and its code is licensed as All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Sixteen stained bricks
One stained brick block exists for each dye color, so builds can use a wide palette of brick tones.
Matching stairs, slabs and walls
Every stained brick has its own stairs, slab and wall, so shapes stay consistent across a building.
Dye-based crafting
A dye placed among plain bricks yields a stained brick, and a stained brick returns eight dyed bricks.
Stonecutter recipes
Stonecutter recipes are enabled for the dyed bricks and their shapes, which speeds up cutting.
