Absent by Design Block Variants

The mod adds hundreds of new blocks categorized into four main types. Each block inherits the properties (hardness, blast resistance, tool requirements) of its parent material.

Slabs and Stairs

These variants allow for more detailed roofing, flooring, and structural transitions using materials previously restricted to full blocks. Notable additions include:

• Concrete: All 16 colors
• Terracotta: All 16 colors
• Glass: Clear and all 16 stained varieties
• Wool: All 16 colors
• Natural Blocks: Coarse Dirt, Snow, Netherrack, and Magma
• End Materials: End Stone and End Stone Bricks
• Ores & Minerals: Gold, Obsidian, Crying Obsidian, and Amethyst
• Mushrooms: Red Mushroom, Brown Mushroom, and Mushroom Stem

Walls

Walls provide a thinner vertical profile than full blocks and connect to adjacent blocks. The mod adds walls for:

• Stone Types: Smooth Stone, Stone, and various Bricks
• Nether Materials: Netherrack, Red Nether Brick, and Quartz
• End Materials: End Stone and Purpur
• Decorative: All 16 colors of Concrete and Terracotta

Fences and Gates

Fences added by this mod function identically to vanilla fences, providing a 1.5-block high collision box. Gates are also provided for most fence types to allow player passage.

• Log Fences: Stripped and regular versions of all vanilla logs (Oak, Birch, Spruce, etc.)
• Mineral Fences: Quartz, Red Nether Brick, and Gold
• Colored Fences: All 16 colors of Concrete and Wool
