Stuff and Things
by DarkLotus781
Stuff and Things adds layered blocks, slab and stair variants, grate and plating blocks, and light blocks for building on NeoForge 1.21.1.
What it does
Stuff and Things supplies block variants that vanilla Minecraft lacks: slabs and stairs for many blocks, including grass, dirt, obsidian and netherrack, plus layered blocks that stack up to seven layers and turn into a full block on the eighth. Shift-breaking a layered block removes only its top layer. Glass and light blocks come in sixteen colors and are crafted from glow ink sacs, concrete or stained glass.
Several recipes are custom: diorite, andesite and quartz blocks are mixed with lava, cobblestone can be produced from lava and water, and magma blocks are made through a Create sequenced assembly. Grate blocks are crafted at a stonecutter from industrial iron or iron, and iron plating resembles the Create industrial iron block with an iron texture. The mod is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 and needs Create to run; netherite dust, which depends on Create, is made from obsidian powder. Stuff and Things runs on client and server, and is released under the MIT License without being open source.
