Natural Block Variants

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.19–1.20. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

Minecraft 1.20–1.20.2Newest
Minecraft 1.19.3–1.19.4
Minecraft 1.19–1.19.2

⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.2 ⬇ Download for 1.19.3–1.19.4 ⬇ Download for 1.19–1.19.2

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Natural Block Variants

This mod provides slabs, stairs, and carpet versions of 18 natural blocks, in addition to all-sided texture versions of the grass, podzol, mycelium, and dirt path blocks.

Intuitive recipes allow you to create each variant, and return them to their vanilla block parent, without loss. (Recipes are shown in images tab.)

Shows dirt, rooted dirt, packed mud, and coarse dirt vanilla blocks, beside their carpet, slab, and stair variants, on a white background.

For Forge Only!

This mod was inspired by a number of similar mods, including Sod Overhaul by Elocindev, Turf by Lykrast, Grass Slabs, Carpets & Stairs by Tinytransfem.

This is my first mod ever, so I hope y'all like it!
