About this Mod
🧱 Just Block Shapes - Complete Your Building Palette
Every vanilla material deserves a full set of block shapes.
Just Block Shapes adds the missing walls, stairs, slabs, fences, fence gates, trapdoors, doors, pressure plates, and buttons for vanilla building blocks that should have had them all along. No new textures, no custom assets — every block looks like it was always part of vanilla Minecraft.
✨ Features
