Sky's Building Pieces gives familiar Minecraft materials more shapes to build with: slabs, steps, corners, stairs, walls and ice panes. Add narrow trims, fill awkward corners or build a glass wall without using full blocks everywhere.
The mod uses vanilla materials and reuses existing Minecraft pieces where they already fit. It doesn't generate terrain.
- Use the same slab item for horizontal and vertical placement. Click the centre of a face to place against it, or near an edge to place along that edge. Breaking a vertical slab returns the regular slab.
- Sneak while placing a step to turn it vertically. Steps are quarter-block pieces; corners are eighth-block pieces.
- Matching pieces can join into supported larger shapes or a full block. Different materials don't combine.
- Find the pieces, including the vanilla items the mod reuses, in the Sky's Building Pieces creative tab.
Walls have lower panels with posts at ends, corners and junctions. A torch or block above keeps a supporting post. Matching glass walls form a continuous run, with borders at posts, exposed ends and colour changes.
Dirt and grass steps and corners are included too. Grass follows biome colours, spreads and decays much like vanilla grass. Plants need a complete upper face.
Craft pieces from matching full blocks, slabs and steps. For example, three full blocks in a row make six slabs, and two matching slabs placed diagonally make four steps. Existing vanilla recipes stay available.
The recipe and placement guide has the full patterns, quantities and exceptions, including the separate dirt vertical slab recipe when Grass Slabs isn't installed.
For Minecraft 1.10.2, use Forge 12.18.3.2511 and Java 8.
No other mod is required. Put the main jar in mods on both the client and
server.
You can also add:
- Sky's Grass Slabs version 1.1 or later for horizontal dirt and grass slabs, paths and turf.
- The Biomes O' Plenty add-on for pieces made from BOP woods, stones and gem blocks.
- Sky's Terrain Smoother to use suitable pieces on newly generated slopes and cave floors.
Building Pieces doesn't add wooden walls, horizontal soil slabs, turf or path slabs.
