Vanilla-esque Decor
Vanilla-esque Decor adds reinforced, framed and tiled variants of familiar vanilla blocks, built on the look of the original textures.
What it does
The mod adds decorative blocks that keep the appearance of vanilla textures while changing their form. Blocks include Reinforced Cobblestone and its siding, Framed Cobblestone, Framed Smooth Stone, Reinforced Iron Block, Reinforced Oak Planks, Reinforced Stripped Mangrove, and several tiled and checkerboard patterns such as Oak Tiling, Spruce Tiling and Oak Checkerboard. Because the textures are the vanilla ones, the blocks fit into existing builds without a clash in style.
Installation needs Forge only, with the 1.1.2 build for 1.20.1 as the latest file. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The mod works with most texture and resource packs, since it uses the vanilla textures. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source. The mod does not require any other mod.
