Cobblestone Bricks

1.15+

Cobblestone Bricks and their mossy variants are made just like you'd make Stone Bricks, except with Cobblestone. They're a fancy new way to improve your rustic stone builds.

1.16+

1.16+

Duskbound blocks and all variants are also immune to the dragon.

You can also craft Panes with these, of course.

1.16.4+

Stained Framed Glass of all 16 colors can also be created, the same way you'd create normal Stained Glass.

Hedges can be crafted using an overworld log and the respective leaf type. They connect to each other like fences, and have the same bounding box. You can even put flowers on them!

Iron Grate

1.14+

The Iron Grate is a cool new block with multiple uses. Animals are afraid of walking on it, and will never do it, whereas items will just fall through the gaps.

Players, monsters, and other entities will just walk through normally.

1.16+

Animals being held by a leash will also walk over the block just fine.

Iron Plates

1.14+

Iron Plates can now be crafted using Iron Ingots. You can also craft Rusty Iron Plates using a Water Bucket as well.

Item Frame Variants

1.14+

Item Frames can now be displayed in two new fancy ways:

First off, you can dye them any of the 16 colors of the minecraft rainbow.

Secondly, you can craft a Glass Item Frame. Glass Item Frames will hide the frame around the item when you put it in, so you can have a display that only shows the item.

Glass Item Frames have some additional features unique to them:

Glass Item Frames

• If you put a banner inside a Glass Item Frame, it'll sit flat with the wall with the pattern that's in it, allowing you to create a wallpaper of sorts.
• Shields display differently in Glass Item Frames, they sit flush with the wall and look nice.
• 1.16.3+ Glass Item Frames can attach to the front of a Sign that's placed on the floor. This will make the item show flush with the sign.
• 1.16.4+ Combining a Glass Item Frame with Glowstone Dust creates a Glowing Glass Item Frame - it glows in the dark!.
• 1.16.4+ Glass Item Frames can be right clicked through to open chests or other inventories.
• 1.16.4+ When a map is placed in a Glass Item Frame, it will update in real time. Perfect for spies!

Leaf Carpet

1.14+

Leaf Carpet can be made with all types of leaves in the same recipe as wool carpet. It can be harvested by hand and has no collision box.

If Blossom Trees (from the World category) are enabled, you can use their leaves as carpet too.

Lit Lamp

1.14+

Combining a Redstone Lamp with a Redstone Torch creates a Lit Redstone lamp, that's always emitting light.

Midori

1.14+

Midori Blocks are a green counterpart to Purpur. These are made with Cactus Paste, with the same recipes as the Purpur blocks.

Cactus Paste is a new item that replaces Green Dye as the smelting output from Cactus. It can be crafted into Green Dye at a 1:1 rate.

(Midori means "green" in Japanese)

Additionally, all of these come in Slab, Stairs, and Wall variants.

More Potted Plants

1.14+

17 new blocks can now be added to Flower Pots. The feature image shows a bunch, but you can also add the vanilla 2 tall flowers, and nether wart.

1.16.3+

Twisted vines, warped vines, large ferns, tall grass, vines, and nether sprouts are also added.

More Stone Variants

1.14+

Brick, Chiseled Brick, Pillar, and Pavement variants are available for all types of stone added by vanilla and Quark.

The Brick types come in Slab, Stair, and Wall variants, and the Chiseled Brick types look different for each type of stone.

Nether Brick Fence Gate

1.14+

A Fence Gate made of Nether Bricks. Crafted with Nether Brick blocks in the place of planks and Nether Brick Fences in the place of Sticks. The recipe outputs 2.

Paper Decor

1.14+

Oriental style decoration can now be made with Paper and Bamboo.

• Paper Walls ("Shoji") come in three variants: Normal, Big, and Decorated. The latter can be crafted by adding a Sapling.
• Paper Lanterns ("Chochin") come in Normal and Decorated variants, the latter similarly crafted with a Sapling. Try hanging or propping them with fences!

Quilted Wool

1.14+

Crafting Wool with String creates Quilted Wool. Quilted Wool comes in all colors and has a framed design.

Rope

1.14+

Rope Coils can be crafted using String. This new block can be placed on the bottom face of a block, by players and dispensers, and dropped down by right clicking on the placed Rope block. Shift-right clicking, or right clicking with a non-rope item will pull the rope up.

If a block is at the end of the rope, it'll drop down and be pulled up alongside it. Lastly, as you'd expect, players can climb rope as if it were a ladder.

Shallow Dirt

1.16+

Right clicking with a Hoe on a Path block creates a new Shallow Dirt block. This block has the same texture as dirt, and is 14 pixels high, as opposed to Path, which is 15 pixels high.

Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, Shallow Dirt can be waterlogged, to create a cool puddle effect, as you can see in the image.

Shingles

1.14+

Shingles are "Tile" style blocks for Terracotta and all its color variants inspired by Portuguese rooftops ("Telha Lusa"). They can all be turned into stairs and slabs, and look great for roofs.

4 Blocks are crafted with a 2x2 of the respective Terracotta block.

Soul Sandstone

1.14+

Sandstone made of Soul Sand. All recipes are as expected.

Soul Sandstone can be turned into Stairs, Slabs, and Walls.

Stained Planks

1.14+

Dyed Wooden Planks of all 16 colors, featuring a pastel color palette so you can actually build with them without making your eyes hurt! All include stair and slab variants.

Stools

1.16.4+

Stools can be created the same way you'd make a Bed, but using slabs instead of full wood blocks. As you can expect, you can sit on them!

Additional stool features include being able to place blocks over them, which makes them get bigger to match, and being able to stay on them even when moved by pistons.

Sturdy Stone

1.14+

A hard stone block made with 4 Stone and 4 Cobblestone (outputs 4). The block has the Furnace Texture, and can not be moved by Pistons.

Tallow And Candles

1.14+

In an attempt to make pigs be useful in any way, they drop Tallow. Tallow can be crafted alongside String to create Candles, or as a furnace fuel.

Candles come in all 16 colors of the spectrum, and emit as much light as torches. Candles will also fall like sand if there's no block under them, which can have many fun uses.

1.16+

Lastly, for Enchanting Table purposes, a candle equals one bookshelf.

Thatch

1.14+

Thatch is created via a 2x2 of Wheat. It can be used for stairs and slabs or turned back into 4 Wheat. You can use it for some fancy medieval roof styles.

Tie Leads to Fences

1.16+

Leads can now be tied directly between two fences, rather than only fence-animal.

Additionally, if Paper Lanterns are enabled, you can also right click on one first, and then a fence, to tie the lantern to the fence.

Turf

1.14+

Turf Blocks can be crafted using a few bits of Tall Grass.

These blocks have the grass texture and coloring on all sides, are available in stair and slab variants, and do not decay when a block is on top.

1.16+

Turf and Turf variants can hold any plants grass can, including Sugar Cane without nearby water if a Turf stair/slab is waterlogged.

Variant Bookshelves

1.14+

You can now make Bookshelves out of all wood types. All of these bookshelves work for the Enchanting Table too.

Variant Chests

1.14+

Chests can be made of all the different wood types. Each one is styled differently for the type of wood you use.

To get the vanilla chest, you can craft a chest with more than one type of wood, or woods added by other mods.

1.16.3+

These variant chests will also replace the chests found in structures in the world.

1.16.4+

Variant Chests can be converted into Vanilla Chests by placing them in a crafting table.

Variant Ladders

1.14+

Ladders can be made of all the different wood types. To compensate for the fact that sticks do not come in different wood types, the recipe for ladders is changed to have a single plank of the corresponding wood type in the center.

You can also make Iron Ladders, using Iron Ingots. They work like normal ladders, except that they can stand by themselves as long as there is an Iron Ladder on top, even if there isn't a block behind.

Vertical Planks

1.14+

Putting 3 wooden planks in a vertical line creates 3 Vertical Wooden Planks. Doing the same reverts it.

If Stained Wooden Planks is enabled, vertical versions of those are also added.

Vertical Slabs

1.14+

Do I have to explain this?

They exist for every vanilla and Quark block that has a slab, and can be crafted by placing 3 of the respective slab in a column.

Wooden Posts

1.16.3+

Wooden Posts can be crafted with Logs or Stripped Logs. These are slim log style blocks you can lay down vertically or horizontally. Chains and lanterns can also connect to them.
