A Minecraft 1.21.1 mod that adds Spreading Gravel — a gravity block that flows sideways toward the deepest nearby drop.
Available for NeoForge and Fabric.
Behaviour
Spreading Gravel behaves like vanilla gravel when falling straight down. When it lands, it checks the four cardinal directions (N → E → S → W) and slides toward whichever has the deepest available drop. It also mimics vanilla gravel's water-fall behaviour.
Crafting
Combine 3 Gravel and 1 Sand in any arrangement (shapeless recipe). The recipe is automatically unlocked in the recipe book when you pick up Gravel.
