Build Decorative Structures with New Block Shapes

Filling Vanilla Gaps

Curiosities Mod adds missing stairs, walls, and slabs for blocks that lacked these variants in vanilla Minecraft. Prismarine and quartz now have complete shape families, allowing you to build more intricate structures without workarounds.

Expanding Your Palette

Beyond shape variants, the mod introduces entirely new decorative blocks:

• Fancied Planks: Crafted using vanilla wood types for enhanced aesthetic variety
• Ashlar Brick Blocks: Stone-based decorative blocks for classical and modern builds
• Smooth Stone Bricks: Updated textures for classic redstone-era aesthetics
• Tiki Torches: Thematic lighting for tropical or tiki-bar builds
• Laterite Blocks: Earthy decorative blocks for natural terrain integration

Design Tips

Combine new slabs and stairs with existing blocks to create detailed rooflines and layered facades. Use Ashlar Bricks and Smooth Stone Bricks together for period-accurate builds. Tiki Torches work excellently as accent lighting around water features or outdoor gathering spaces.
