Simple, versatile, an expansion you never knew you wanted
What is Ornamental?
Ornamental is a mod for all you needs you never knew you wanted. A home reinforced with Obsidian? Yes you can. Some more decoration options with Nether Bricks? Of course. First home the most decorative and appealing? You can do that. How about the most expensive home you could make? Do it however you want, because this is what Ornamental is for.
What is included in this mod?
Ornamental aims to give you various decorative blocks of existing blocks with little freedom of shape. Perhaps a Grass Path that changes elevation needs Stairs and Slabs. Ornamental provides Grass Path Slabs and Stairs just for that.
The different kinds of decorative blocks include Stairs, Slabs, Fences, Trapdoors, Fence Gates, and Doors.
Materials can range from the simple things like Dirt, Clay, or Grass to the interesting like Bricks, Bone, and Nether Brick to the most absurd such as Gold, Diamond, even Netherite.
Golems?
Yes, Ornamental provides Golems. All kinds you can think of that is provided by Ornamental, each with their own strengths and traits. Have a little companion such as a Grass Golem, or have a powerful guard like an Obsidian Golem. Some are built just like Iron Golems, others might be like a Snow Golem, sometimes the Golems have their own shape and form. Try them out, you might find an unlikely protector.
Expanding with Ornamental
Ornamental is more than just a mod; it is also a helper library. Using a few simple yet versatile systems, you can create some new blocks with the power of OrnamentBuilder.
To get started, start yourself a new mod with Ornament as a dependency, then find OrnamentBuilder and follow the closely documented class to build the perfect ornament material for you. Then you just register with the various Ornament blocks with your newly created OrnamentBuilder with a bit of help with PropertiesHelper and let the magic work.

ORNAMENTAL Mod Spotlight Video:
YEY!!! 1.16!!!
Found a bug in the 1.14.4 version. Upside down stairs will appear as normal right-side up stairs unless it's facing east. This was tested with emerald and diamond stairs.
In reply to WenXin2:
Odd, I'll give it a check when I get the time. In the meantime, can you post a bug report onto GitHub, just so I don't forget?
Awesome mod! thank you for adding! Will you add stuff made of wool ? slabs and stairs are very useful! ladders too <3 thanks again!
In reply to nishiwut:
Creating that many blocks for the Wool blocks will make the mod much more bloated, especially when other blocks that are coloured may be considered. It might be added, but maybe as a separate mod addon.
As for adding decorative blocks like Ladders, that might be more possible. Maybe alongside some other decorative features like Torches.
Can this missingno thing be removed? Somehow it bothers me
In reply to bobduck8:
I've looked into making it optionally display in menus or being obtained as an item, but so far it's proving fruitless. They are Creative-only items, so in that sense it doesn't affect too much in terms of regular gameplay.Disregard. Working with an outdated Forge doesn't exactly help with implementing features.Cool and funny mod :P
Thanks for keeping it updated for 1.12 ^_^
Would it at all be possible to create dirt paths as slabs?
In reply to Woulfgang:
Currently, no. Maybe in the next update or so when I get to it.
In reply to Squiggly_Androsa:
That'll be very cool. it'll make smooth dirt slopes possible.
This is pretty cool, thanks for the mod!
Hey, man; thank you very much, this mod is awesome!
I was doing some tests and noticed that:
CLAY, DIRT, GRASS and HAY trapdoors open when the player or a mob walk over it
When I use a chovel on the GRASS stair, slab or trapdoor I get the dirt texture instad of the dirt path one
Once again, congratulations, man
In reply to barneyplanet:
Yep. Those particular blocks will do that because it was suggested to me. It kind of started as a suggestion for TF Compat where Trapdoors with Cloth, Slime, and Leaves materials would drop open, and then I made Ground and Grass do that, too. Kind of like having a hidden Trapdoor in the surroundings.
As for using the Shovel on the Grass Nifty Blocks, it was made that way so that it could be turned into Dirt Nifty blocks (a similar feature applies for Dirt -> Grass). I didn't implement Grass Path Nifty blocks.
In reply to Androsa:
Ok, thank you for the explanation.
About the GRASS PATH texture, in minecraft, when we use a shovel on a GRASS block it turns into a GRASS PATH block, so I thought that the GRASS blocks in your mod would beheave the same way, my bad.
BTW, Nifty depends on Forge to be installed, isn't it?
In reply to barneyplanet:
Like most mods these days, yes.
In reply to Squiggly_Androsa:
Dang. I thought I finally found a path slab mod.
In reply to spicklesandwich:
I wouldn't consider it out of the realm of possibility, though I am working on some other things at the moment.
This mod is pretty… neat. Wait, no.
