1.12.2 version is for forge (non supported), 1.14+ versions are for fabric
This mod adds snow-like layers for a bunch of blocks including grass, sand, gravel and leaves. They are very useful for making smoother landscapes. Here is a quickly created example of a slope using grass layers
Another example:
All the layers added:
1st row: Concrete powder layers
2nd row: Dirt, coarse dirt, podzol, mycelium, grass and grass path layers.
3rd row: Cobblestone, mossy cobblestone, stone, granite, diorite and andesite layers.
4rd row: Sand, red sand, sandstone, red sandstone, gravel and hay layers.
5th row: Oak leaves, birch leaves, jungle leaves, spruce leaves, acacia leaves and dark oak leaves layers.
To shave of a layer right click with a shovel (also works on snow layers). To convert a block to 8 layers shift right click with a shovel. Hold down shift when placing layers to place 4 at a time (half a block).
Stone-related layers are created in the stonecutter:
The rest are crafted:
You are allowed to use this mod in modpacks. Do link this page from the pack's mod list tho.
Please comment below if you have any thoughts of the mod. Can anything be improved?
This is a fantastic little mod, it's just one of those things the game needs. I have a few questions though;
- Could it be made possible for this to support resource packs? (The grass path uses vanilla's texture, which doesn't work with the resource pack I'm using)
- Could it be made possible to add other blocks from vanilla via config? Or if not, then could we at least get netherrack and obsidian layers? These would be great to put around a portal ;)
Many thanks

In reply to DrLogiq:
The mod's textures can be edited just like the vanilla textures.
Obsidian and netherrack layers sounds like a good idea.
In reply to MCrafterzz:
I think what they are asking for is for this mod to take it's textures from the block they are layers of instead of having new textures of it's own...that way when someone is using a texture pack, it is automatically applied to the layer versions of the blocks.
As players, we can't expect modpack artists to add support for every mod out there...and a mod like this...that is just blocks that are shaped-different versions of vanilla blocks have no reason not to grab their textures from the default blocks anyway...it adds another level of complication for you that isn't necessary.
Why do you have hard coded textures? Is it the only way you can get it to work properly?
will this be on forge 1.14.3?

No, but anyone that wants to port it is welcome
can you from the addons from 1.14.2 readd in 1.12.2 with the other blocks only the craftingsystem is with craftingtable to make.
can you make it so one layer does not make item frames on the floor pop off 1 snow layers does this, because you can put a block in a frame one layer on top and make it look like pebbles, rocks, bumps in a path. like this https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/bwlbx9/a_good_trick_for_making_snowball_blocks_in/.
In reply to Hydroglider:
I agree that it would be great but it's not possible. The reason it works for snow layers is that their collision box is one step lower than the visuals so when there only is one layer they don't have a collision box at all. This results in nothing taking the space and it's therefore possible to place an item frame there.
It would be cool if all this was generated in the world.
In reply to Smocen:
I know but it's hard to implement :c I agree that it would be awsome so if someone could help me...
this is useful for making custom caves
In reply to mr2meows:
Yep
cOoOl
In reply to mr2meows:
Thanks
can the layers be generated naturally?
Is it possible to have only sand layers and they naturally generate?
In reply to Yekult10:
+1 for this good idea. would make vanilla sandstorms a lot more meaningful and interesting!
Could you add Hay Layers to the mod?
