About this project
What does Blocks for Builders add?
Blocks for Builders is a small mod that aims to add a number of blocks building-focused players will find useful. We aim to increase the aesthetic options available to players while still maintaining a very Vanilla feel. The mod is Fabric-only.

Ghostwood, one of two new woods added in BFB. The saplings are found in Shipwreck supply chests.
Green jungle, the other wood type added. These saplings are found in Jungle Temples. Credit to Stridey from Vanilla Tweaks for the initial textures.
Red Oak and Gold Acacia trees, which spawn rarely in Forest and Savannah biomes respectively, offering red and gold leaves.
Fallen leaves, carpet-like blocks of all the leaf types.
Bookshelves for all the wood types.
We added full parity with regular Nether Brick to Red Nether Brick, and added a third Black Nether Brick set of blocks. Also added a Nether Brick Fence Gate.
The paper lantern.
If you find any issues with the mod, let us know in the comments here or on GitHub, and feel free to make any suggestions for blocks you'd like to see added!
