What is Over the Top?

Over the Top is a NeoForge 1.21.8 minecraft mod aiming to add Trench Warfare from the Great War. It adds decorative blocks such as Sandbags, Sandbag Walls, Trench Fortifications etc. The mod is currently in its Beta phase, so please expect bugs, and if you are to find bugs, please report them here. It is advised to use JEI if in survival mode.

Blocks

Over the Top includes many blocks like Sandbags, Razor Wire, Landmines, Corrugated Metal, and Sandbag Walls + Trench Fortifications and their variations (which modules like firesteps or ladders can be added onto).

Fortifications

The fortification blocks consist of Sandbag Walls and Wooden Trench Fortifications, these blocks can have firesteps or trench ladders placed onto them. If a fortification has a firestep you can place firestep modules like a firestep kettle or firestep crate.

Sandbag Wall variations consist of Corner, Firestep Corner, Firestep, Firestep Crate, Firestep Kettle, and Trench ladder.

Wooden Trench Fortifications consist of Corner, Firestep Corner, Duel Piece, End-Duel Piece, Firestep, Firestep Crate, Firestep Kettle, and Trench ladder.

Fortifications can change model with a screwdriver on 'Alter' mode, they can also be rotated with the screwdriver on 'Rotate' mode.

Items

Over the Top adds many items such as the saw, which allows you to remove modules from fortifications easily, and also drop said modules. Or the screwdriver which allows you to alter fortification models, or rotate them. Or perhaps the Trench Whistle which when used gives Speed III, Haste III, and Strength III for ten seconds to everyone in a 25 block radius.

There is also the Empty Mug, Mug of Water, and Mug of Tea. To make a cuppa tea, you need to first get your mug and put some water on it, by right clicking water - Just like a bucket or bottle! Then you need to get any tree leaves block and right click on a kettle with both the leaves and the mug and in about 20 seconds you'll have a nice steamin cuppa tea.
