About this Mod

This mod adds block variants that feel like they should be in vanilla. The blocks in this mod use vanilla textures, so that when you use a resource pack that replaces those (which should be most resource packs) this mod's blocks won't look out of place. This won't work if the resource pack replaces vanilla models though, so just try it.
