About this Mod
Description: Patchwork is a building blocks mod that expands on every type of stone, wood, terracotta, and others. While it mainly focuses on adding block variants that are missing from the game such as Andesite Bricks and Polished Calcite, but it also adds plenty of others such as Cracked Bricks, Packed Snow, as well as new shingle blocks. It also fills some of the odd gaps left by vanilla in blocksets like walls for stone, polished stone types, and smooth sandstone. The mod also adds new paintings!
It is highly recommended to use JEI or a similar mod to view recipes for the new blocks.
