Variant-Decoration
by Gecko95
Players who want more block variety in a build can use Variant-Decoration, a Fabric mod that adds new stairs, slabs and walls for existing and new blocks.
What it does
Variant-Decoration focuses on the building side of the game. Its main part is a set of stairs, slabs and walls made from blocks that vanilla does not offer in those shapes, such as obsidian, packed mud and wooden bark, along with many new modded blocks. The author reports 1,984 blocks in total, and the variants cover old blocks as well as new ones.
The mod also adds five new wood types: cactus, mushroom, wooden iron cap, and, from 1.20.1 and 1.21.5 onward, the driftwood family. These types bring signs, hanging signs, stripped wood and wooden blocks that were not available before, including crafting, cartography, smithing and ladder-style blocks, a bookshelf and a barrel. Flowers and color blocks, such as coloured lamps, dye blocks, hardened mosaic glass and concrete or terracotta variants, fill out the rest. Variant-Decoration requires Fabric API. The server and every player need the mod installed.
