Malt's Wood Paneling
by jhughes-dev
Malt's Wood Paneling adds panels cut from logs and wood blocks, letting a builder put bark on the outside of a wall while the inside stays plain wood.
What it does
Stripping a log with an axe yields a panel of the matching wood type, and each panel can be placed over a stripped block or crafted back into a log or wood block. Panels with shared interior corners break together, and the broken items come back as panels. Wood types match, so a birch panel cannot be converted into dark oak.
Crafting recipes cover the log and wood variants of each wood type, including wood types added by other mods that have strippable textures. The mod requires Fabric API and Rosetta, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, and the code is licensed under the MIT License without being open source.
Key features
Wood panels from stripping
Stripping a log with an axe yields a panel of the matching wood type, placed almost like a block.
Log and wood recipes
Crafting recipes turn a stripped log and four panels into a log variant, and a stripped wood block and six panels into a wood variant.
Shared interior corners
Panels that share an interior corner break together, and the broken items are dropped as panels.
Floors and wall surfaces
Panels serve as surface decoration for floors, walls and thick walls, with bark outside and a plain interior.

Use cases
Bark outside, plain inside
A wall can show wood on its outer face while the inner face uses a different block, without an extra footprint.
Recovering a mistaken strip
A log stripped by accident can be placed back over the stripped block, or crafted again from the panels dropped.
Who it’s for: Builders who want wood exteriors without wood interiors, and players who strip logs by accident and want a way to recover them.

What the author says
Stripping wood with an axe now drops Panel items of the same wood type that can be placed on almost any surface for decoration or used in crafting to create log and wood block variants for all wood types, including wood from other mods. \* Should work with wood types from other mods as long as they are strippable and…
