VanillaBlockEnhancements

Many vanilla blocks, including stairs and slabs, receive behaviour changes that fix a number of bugs tied to them. Doors and trapdoors can be opened and closed with a single action, double doors no longer open once, and some of these blocks only work when powered by redstone. Placing a block with shift-click opens its interface instead of placing it when the block would otherwise trigger an action, and items no longer drop on the ground when a container is closed, going into the inventory instead.

The mod also changes placement rules. Blocks take the player's facing direction rather than checking walls, full slabs can be placed vertically, and breaking a slab yields the expected halves instead of six pieces. Pumpkins and Jack o' Lanterns no longer require a block below them, and solid blocks connect to fences for better collisions and selections. Some tools now break certain vanilla blocks more effectively, while the new blocks break more slowly.

The mod runs on the Fabric and Babric loaders for the b1.7.3 game version only, and StationAPI is required on top of it. Both the client and the server need the mod. Snapshot builds are published, and the source code is open source under the MIT License, with a public issue tracker. It is safe to remove mid-game, although the author advises backing up the world and starting a new one when a version changes blocks used in existing saves.
