Stairway to Aether

Logo_Stairway

 

This Mod brings you what should have always been in Minecraft in the first place. Stairs. And Slabs. And Walls. And all the different Cobble and Brick variants for the currently available stone types. So what you get is a whopping amount of over 300 new building blocks.
Now with Biomes’o’Plenty Support.

 

Stone Types

The Mod addresses the following stone types:
– Stone
– Granite
– Diorite
– Andesite
– End Stone (only in 1.9.x or higher)
– Prismarine
– Red Nether Bricks (only in 1.10.x)
– Limestone (only in 1.10.x with Biomes’o’Plenty active)
– Siltstone    (only in 1.10.x with Biomes’o’Plenty active)
– Shale          (only in 1.10.x with Biomes’o’Plenty active)
– Crag Rock  (only in 1.10.x with Biomes’o’Plenty active)

Those Stone types receive the following Variants:
– Stone (natural + polished)
– Cobble (normal + mossy)
– Brick (normal + mossy + cracked + chiseled)

Aditionally Hardened Clay Blocks can be crafted into Timber Frame

To ensure every stone type is treated the same, the normal grey Stone now has a polished stone variant. and to fit in the polished variant certain changes were made to Recipes. Now you can simply craft Stone from Cobblestone, and smelt Stone into polished Stone, but need polished Stone to craft Stone Bricks. A detailed crafting list is found under the Recipes tab.
On top of that has every stone variant now it’s own slab, stair, and wall version.
All new features can be toggled off in the config at your desire.
Make sure to load Biomes’o’Plenty before Stairway to avoid crashes and fully load all Sub-mod-Blocks

Config Options

The Config has two categories: Extended Types and Allowed Blocks

With the Extended Types field you can extend each Stone type to add the new Block and Recipes. Prismarine Blocks don’t have those feature since they don’t behave like the rest. And Red Nether just didn’t get extended. Everything with [BoP] behind it’s name needs Biomes’o’Plenty to be loaded. Without it these blocks won’t show up regardless of settings.

With the Allowed Block field you control if Slabs, Stairs, and Walls should show up in the game. This option takes precedence over the Extended config and will disable the selected blocks.

 

Editing Timber Frames

The Timber Frame Blocks are designed to be easily changed out through Resource Packs.
Inside the models/block folder are the designs for all timber blocks. In those files you’ll find the following lines:
“textures”: {
“particle”: “blocks/hardened_clay_stained_black”,
“0”: “blocks/hardened_clay_stained_black”,
“1”: “blocks/planks_oak”
},
“0” handles the appearance of the block itself
“1” handles the appearance of the timber frame around the block
both can be changed independent from each other.

Caution: Changing the appearance won’t change it’s crafting recipe.
