Road China
by Epochwood
Road China brings Chinese-style asphalt road blocks to Minecraft, with slabs, line markings and directional arrows for building roads and streets.
What it does
The mod adds asphalt road blocks in a Chinese road style. Blocks come as full blocks and slab forms, including diagonal, double, split and merged lines, as well as special slab forms with white-and-yellow lines. Road markings include different white arrows pointing in several directions, a range of white marking styles, and posts in several colours.
Road segments connect to one another automatically in versions from 1.16.5 onward. A wrench rotates the face orientation of the white line asphalt road blocks and their arrows, so markings can be set to the direction of traffic. Architectury API is required on every loader.
Road China is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.17, 1.17.1, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and it is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
