This Rocks! (Forge)
by Mrbysco
This Rocks! adds small natural props to overworld and nether terrain, including loose stones, forest debris, shoreline finds and vents, so a world looks less bare.
What it does
Breaking a rock yields splitters, which can be crafted back into their matching blocks, with one exception: the gravel rock drops flint. Sticks give ordinary sticks, pinecones drop spruce saplings, seashells occasionally drop Nautilus Shells, and starfish drop a starfish block meant for decoration.
Geysers activate when a player moves near them. Overworld geysers launch the player upward, while nether geysers deal fire damage. In creative mode, every block can be cycled through its different states, which makes it simple to check each variant when building.
The mod is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Forge files cover 1.18.2 – 26.1.1 across 18 release versions, and NeoForge is published as well.
Key features
Breakable rocks
Rocks break into splitters that craft back into their blocks, while the gravel rock drops flint.
Foraged natural blocks
Sticks, pinecones and seashells drop sticks, spruce saplings and rare Nautilus Shells when broken.
Starfish decoration
Starfish break into a starfish block that can be used for decorating builds.
Activated geysers
Overworld geysers boost the player upward and nether geysers burn, both triggered by proximity.
Creative state cycling
Blocks can be cycled through their different states in creative mode to inspect every variant.

Use cases
Natural-looking worlds
Scatter rocks, sticks and shells across terrain so that generated landscapes look less uniform.
Nether hazards
Nether geysers add a fire hazard to crossings, which can be used in adventure maps or servers.
Who it’s for: Players who want more natural detail in world generation, and server owners who want shared decorative terrain. Both sides need the mod because it adds blocks and geysers that must match between server and client.

What the author says
This Rocks! adds little rocks, sticks, pinecones, seashells, starfish, and geysers to your minecraft world to make it feel more natural. You can break a rock to get splitters that you can craft into their respective blocks, except for the gravel rock, which drops flint.
