Vanilla Builders Extension is a mod that adds all the missing stairs, slabs, fences, gates, and even walls for vanilla blocks that ain't got any. The blocks that are added use the textures of their respective vanilla parent-block. That way they will work with every resource pack.
Release version 1.0.9 is now available for Minecraft 1.12.2

How do you craft Grass Stairs? I tried putting grass blocks in the stairs formation in the crafting table, but it's not working.
Also, could you add the recipes of EVERYTHING in the mod? Just to help players like me :p
Thank you so much :D
In reply to moremania2:
For 1.12 version, if grassSpecialCrafting is enabled then you can craft dirt stairs or slabs into grass stairs or slabs by adding a tall grass above it in the crafting grid. If it is disabled then you can craft them with grass blocks following the normal Minecraft recipe. So most likely you can just set this to false and then you should be good.
There are a couple of other options for crafting specific things like grass blocks from dirt and tall grass or concrete from powder and water, etc. Along with an option for overriding vanilla conflicting recipes, which is used for the stone slabs and the nether brick fence. Otherwise everything follows the normal recipe structure.
All of the options are listed in the configuration section.
Hope that helps.
I have unobtainable items in 1.12.2?
In reply to fletcher_73:
I am not sure what you mean?
you forgot polished stone slab
In reply to shadowkn1ght522:
It is the vanilla stone slab. The recipe is there but there are some config options that you might check due to interactions with Quark and the vanilla recipes.
1.14.4 update?
In reply to Forge_User_06057210:
I am looking at this now but there are a lot of changes to make so not sure how long it will take.
This updated to 1.15.1 would be grand
I miss my polished walls
In reply to VaelophisNyx:
I will look at 1.15 after I finish 1.14. No time estimate yet but I am working through all the changes.
Why do none of these mods have Terracotta stairs?!
In reply to Boolyman:
hi! i discovered this useful mod called Lotta Terracotta, it seems that it has what are you searching for. https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/lotta-terracotta
In reply to Boolyman:
They are there, just called hardened clay still.
I don't like it. Vanilla already has these things.
I would absolutely love to see this ported to 1.14.4--I desperately need glass stairs and slabs and, shockingly, I've found almost no mods that have them!
In reply to cameruption13:
Way late I know, but I am working on this now.
Any chance this will ever be ported past 1.12.2?
In reply to iMoobert:
Yes, late I know, but working on it now. Probably both 1.14 and 1.15.
aw yeah, diamond machicolations!
I find it funny that concrete powder items are added in this, and it's weird how they don't harden with water, or fall.
Also, why no new plank or wool items?
