What it does

Each polished plank is a smoother, slightly shinier version of its plain wood type, meant to read like laminated veneer when used in builds. The recipe surrounds one honeycomb with eight planks of the matching wood, so the variants stay tied to the wood types already in the game. The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge, and both the server and every player need it. Builds are published for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Polished plank variants

    Each wood type gains a polished plank block with a smoother surface than the standard planks.

  2. Honeycomb recipe

    Polished planks are crafted by placing a honeycomb in the center of eight planks of the same wood.

  3. Subtle visual difference

    The change is small, adding a little extra smoothness and shine to the wood for decorative builds.

What the author says

The recipe for the new planks is any plank variant: 8 surrounding 1 honeycomb in the middle. The difference is subtle, but the additional smoothness and shininess to the woods might be beneficial to a type of build you'd go for.
