Vanilla+ Blocks
Vanilla+ Blocks gives Fabric players block variants of many vanilla blocks, from stairs and slabs to doors, buttons and concrete powder, for builds in 1.20.1 – 1.21.11.
What it does
Each supported block gets a set of variants such as stairs, slabs, doors, trapdoors, buttons, fences, fence gates, pressure plates and walls. The author describes the collection as 2500+ block variants, covering most branches of the vanilla block list. The mod is one part of the Vanilla+ Mod Collection, so the variants are meant to sit alongside the other Vanilla+ packs rather than replace them.
Concrete Powder blocks fall like sand and convert into their concrete counterparts when placed in water. Waxed and unwaxed oxidizing variants are included, and wet sponge blocks dry out in the nether. Some variants emit a redstone signal at power 15 and behave like slime blocks in movement. Transparent and variants with full transparency are not implemented yet, according to the author notes.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so a multiplayer server and every player need it installed. Fabric API is required and must be installed alongside it. Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are optional. The files cover 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 across 13 release versions, with 5.0.2+1.21.11 for 1.21.11 as the latest Fabric file, released under a Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license. The source code and issue tracker are public, but the mod is not open source.
Key features
Block variant sets
Stairs, slabs, doors, trapdoors, buttons, fences, fence gates, pressure plates and walls are added for supported vanilla blocks.
Concrete powder behavior
Concrete powder falls like sand and turns into concrete when placed in water, matching the vanilla conversion.
Oxidizing and waxed variants
Copper-style blocks come in waxed and unwaxed oxidizing forms, so the cycle of weathering can be built with them.
Redstone and slime-like blocks
Some variants emit a redstone signal at power 15, and others move and slow down the way slime blocks do.

How it compares
Concrete Plus is open source under the MIT License, runs on client and server and supports Fabric for 1.19 – 1.21, so it covers older versions. Moar Concrete is also open source under the MIT License, with Fabric files for 1.21 – 1.21.11 and a narrower focus on concrete blocks. Frostbyte's Slabs & Stairs is not open source, uses the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license like this mod, and reaches 1.19 – 26.3 on Fabric.
