About this Mod
🧱 Block Plus
Welcome to Block Plus, the ultimate building and decoration expansion designed exclusively for Forge!
Have you ever looked at Fabric-exclusive decoration mods and wished you had those gorgeous textures on your Forge modpack? This mod was born out of that exact necessity. Block Plus is a passionate, standalone "reforged" tribute inspired by the brilliant aesthetics of Blockus, combined with nostalgic block families from legendary classic mods (like Astral Sorcery), alongside entirely custom creations.
✨** Features**
Block Plus expands your creative toolkit with complete, cohesive block families (including custom bricks, tiles, pillars, slabs, stairs, and polished variants) categorized by unique themes:
The Timber Frames: Perfect for medieval and rustic builds. Available in Oak, Dark Oak, and Spruce, featuring cross and diagonal patterns.
🏰 Ornate & Mystical Stones: Decorate your castles and dungeons with Viridite (with chiseled variants), Dark Limestone, Archaic Bricks, and Sculk-infused architecture.
Cosmetic & Themed Bricks: Build winter fortresses with Snow Quartz and Ice Bricks, or go spooky with Sooty Bricks, Lava Bricks, and Small Magma Bricks.
🏛️ Nostalgic Tributes: Beautifully recreated Marble inspired by classic magic mods, perfect for grand altars and temples.
Fun & Unique Textures: From Chocolate Blocks (and tiles!) to unique patterns like Checkertone (Andesite/Diorite, Granite, Sandstone).
And all blocks are fully configurable via KubeJS
🌍 World Generation
Block Plus isn't just about crafting; it rewards exploration!
Dark Limestone: Generates as a somewhat rare find hidden deep within Swamps and Mangrove biomes.
Slate: Scattered naturally across various cold and freezing biomes.
Marble: It awaits you on the top of the mountain peaks and elevated terrain.
🛠️ Crafting & Integration
All blocks are fully survival-friendly, feature horizontal expansion recipes balance-tested for Vanilla+ environments, and integrate perfectly with standard Minecraft materials. Cross-mod compatibility is also included (specific recipes activate automatically if Sully's Mod is installed).
🚀 Modpacks
Yes! You can absolutely include Block Plus in your modpack. No explicit permission is required, though a link back to this page is always appreciated.
📄** Credits & Inspiration**
Block Plus is an independent project built from scratch for the Forge ecosystem.
Concept & Palette: Portions of the aesthetic choices and block concepts are heavily inspired by the amazing Blockus mod (Fabric).
Nostalgic Assets: Certain textures are visual tributes to assets from historical mods, adapted and re-coded specifically to bring their beloved atmosphere into modern Forge versions. Massive thanks to the original creators who continue to inspire the Minecraft modding community!
