This mod is a curated set of block variants that Mojang has left out of the vanilla game. There are no new textures included in this mod.
What This Mod Is Not
This mod is not an exhaustive set of all alternate block types for all vanilla materials. This is my take on adding block variants that I feel belong in the base game, and are based on the existing choices that Mojang have made for the current block set.

Known Issues
Nether Brick Fence Gate, Red Nether Brick Fence Gate, and Brick Fence Gate use the wrong sounds, using all standard Wood sounds. There are no existing non-wood gate opening or closing sounds.
Fun Fact: The vanilla codebase hard codes a requirement for all Fence Gates to have an associated WoodType.
Future Considerations
There are currently only a couple of features planned for a future update.
Add dripping tear effect to Crying Obsidian slab, stairs, and wall
Chiseled Red Nether Bricks
Correct block hit and break sounds for Nether Brick, Red Nether Brick, and Brick Fence Gates
Add a brick type gate opening sound for Nether Brick, Red Nether Brick, and Brick Fence Gates
