Stronger blocks
by ZYNX_TWN
Stronger blocks adds reinforced versions of common building blocks that resist explosions far better than their vanilla counterparts.
What it does
The mod introduces a small set of sturdier stone-type blocks that take far more explosive force to break than ordinary walls. Each reinforced variant has higher blast resistance, so it withstands creeper blasts and TNT that would tear through vanilla blocks. The variants keep the appearance of their vanilla counterparts, so a base can gain durability without changing its style. The reinforced blocks can still be mined with almost any pickaxe, and the cheaper ones are crafted from basic resources.
Harder-to-craft blast-proof versions sit at the top of the set for players who want sturdier defenses. The mod suits survival bases and mob-proof builds, where walls and floors need to hold against explosions and weapons. It runs on Forge and NeoForge and is released under the MIT License. Files cover 1.18.2 – 1.21.10 across 14 release versions, and the latest file is 1.5.0 for 1.21.10.

Pickaxe mining
