Road Builder Mod

by viktor.nordling

Road Builder Mod lets players lay down realistic roads in a Fabric world using a set of road marking blocks that are sprayed onto the ground.

What it does

The mod is built around one job: making roads that look like roads, without having to combine the obscure vanilla blocks that are normally used for that effect. It adds two road marking blocks, one white and one yellow, each with its own spray sprite. The blocks are found in the creative inventory in the building blocks section, at the bottom of the scroll list, and a drag from the hotbar sprays them after the creative menu is closed.

The blocks also act as ordinary blocks in a sense the author describes as complete: they do not carry redstone signals, but they can be placed and arranged in long runs. The author notes that the mod adds two features overall and describes its current state as an early alpha. Work on a road-building mechanism, similar to the one in Cities: Skylines, is listed as a future plan, along with a node system that snaps new segments to existing roads. The mod requires Fabric API and Fabric Loader, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.1 and 1.21.2, and the latest file is 0.0.1 for 1.21.2.

Key features

  1. White road marking block

    A block that places a white road marking on the ground, for lane lines and crossings.

  2. Yellow road marking block

    A yellow counterpart to the white marking, used for edge lines and other road details.

  3. Spray blocks from the hotbar

    Dragging a marking block from the hotbar after closing the creative menu sprays it onto the surface.

  4. Road markings in the creative menu

    Both marking blocks are listed in the building blocks section of the creative inventory, near the bottom of the scroll list.

What the author says

Currently, this mod adds 2 new features; a white road marking block and a yellow road marking block. This means that it is very much in alpha progress. This mod allows a decent recreation of the world's roads in a seemless manner without having to use debugged or obscure vanilla blocks to create the look of a road.
