Medieval Bastion Decoration Mod adds functional castle gates, wearable heraldic tabards, and medieval masonry blocks to your worlds. This mod expands decoration and defense options for fortress builders who want realistic fortifications. You can lower heavy portcullis grates to lock down castle entrances or display banner designs directly on your chestplate and steed.
