Pebbles & Twigs
by IlyRac
Pebbles & Twigs adds stackable stone pebbles and wood twigs that scatter across terrain, so forest floors, caves, oceans and deserts look less bare.
What it does
Pebbles and twigs generate naturally in the world. Sandstone pebbles show up in deserts, Nether woods carry twigs, and the End receives its own stone pebbles. Forest floors gain twigs, while cave systems, ocean floors and riverbeds gain pebbles, which adds small detail to biomes that were otherwise plain.
Pebbles come in 10 stone variants, from andesite and diorite to deepslate, tuff, blackstone and End stone, and twigs come in 12 wood variants covering the vanilla types, cherry, pale oak and the Nether woods. The mod is client and server, so a server and every player need the Fabric build for 26.3 and the other release versions it supports.
Key features
Stackable pebbles
Up to four pebbles can stack in a single block space, which allows varied clusters and rougher terrain.
Dynamic placement
Placed twigs stand upright or lie flat depending on the side they are placed on, giving different looks for the same block.
Axe stripping
An axe used on a placed twig turns it into a stripped twig variant, matching how logs are stripped.
Throwable pebbles
A thrown pebble deals damage, and a Dispenser loaded with pebbles can fire them, which lets players build simple automated rock shooters.

Use cases
Decorating biomes
Builders can use twigs on forest floors and pebbles in caves or on beaches to add small surface detail.
Redstone traps
Dispensers that fire pebbles can serve as automated shooters in a player-built setup.
Who it’s for: Players who want more surface detail in vanilla biomes, and builders who add small props to terrain. Server owners need it installed on the server and in every player's client.
How it compares
Rocks and Pebbles is also client and server, released under the MIT License, but its files cover 1.21 – 1.21.11 and it is not open source. Ground Elements World 2 adds terrain elements for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.19.2 – 1.21.8, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Pebbles & Twigs is a custom license and is not open source, and it runs on Fabric alone.
