The Small Building 2.0
by paultomohio
Small building blocks from The Small Building 2.0 add asphalt, light asphalt, thick iron and oak crate pieces, a sequel to the author's earlier mod.
What it does
The Small Building 2.0 is a Forge decoration mod for 1.20.1 with a small selection of building blocks. Asphalt Blocks and Light Asphalt Blocks are crafted from gravel, sand and iron nuggets, Thick Iron Blocks are added as a solid building material, and an Oak Crate is crafted from planks, sticks and a sign. The author says more oak variants may follow later.
The mod was released almost a year after the original, which the author describes as a much improved version of the previous iteration. It is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it installed. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1 only, with 0.3 as the latest beta from 2025-11-07. The first version appeared on 2025-05-12, and the code is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.

How it compares
Asphalt Revisioned is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 with the same client and server environment, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Moress is also Forge only for 1.20.1 and client and server, with All rights reserved and no open-source release. New Year Red is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 on Forge, so it reaches a wider version range than The Small Building 2.0.

What the author says
This is correct. The mod I've made almost a year ago is finally getting a sequel. This is literally my magnum opus, yet it wasn't very good looking back. Oh, how it could be improved.! And also, implying by the name, it was incredibly small.
