Variant Vanilla Blocks
Vanilla blocks recreated in all vanilla wood types
About this Mod
Introducing 'Variant Vanilla Blocks,' a delightful addition to the Minecraft universe that pays homage to the diversity of wood types found within the game.
This mod is a celebration of the unique qualities each wood type brings, as it imbues familiar vanilla blocks with distinct styles that match the aesthetics of different woods.
From the rustic charm of Oak to the deep hues of Dark Oak, 'Variant Vanilla Blocks' offers a delightful array of themed blocks, each perfectly in sync with the wood it represents.
This collection includes a wide range of blocks, such as Barrels, Beehives, Bookshelves, Cartography Tables, Chests, Composters, and more.
The crafting recipes have been thoughtfully adjusted to ensure that every wood type has its unique flair.
But that's not all—'Variant Vanilla Blocks' also adds a touch of magic with 'un-crafting' recipes.
Want to revert your variant blocks back to their original styles? No problem! This mod's got you covered, ensuring that you can experiment and craft to your heart's content.
Dive into this enchanting world of variety and style with 'Variant Vanilla Blocks,' where every block tells a story of craftsmanship, creativity, and endless possibilities.
