About this Mod

Features

Blocks

This mod adds bark blocks, a new type of wooden block. When you strip a log with silk touch, you now get a bark block of the corresponding wood type. Bark blocks are hollow through one axis, leaving only a two-pixel-thick ring. As they are hollow, you can stand or crawl inside them and they can also be waterlogged.
