Decorative Blocks — Guide

Light Sources

Brazier

An iron bowl on a stand filled with normal fire. Emits the same light level as a torch. Place on floors, patios, or mount on poles for path lighting. Does not spread fire.

Chandelier

A hanging iron chandelier with multiple candle points. Place on the underside of ceilings to light up large interior spaces. Light level: 15.

Bonfire

A large ground fire that emits bright light and crackling particle effects. Great for campfire scenes, village centres, or event areas. Light level: 15.

Soul Brazier

A brazier variant that burns with soul fire (blue flame). Emits a cooler blue light and keeps Piglins at a distance. Light level: 10.

Soul Chandelier

A chandelier variant with soul fire flames. Use in nether-themed builds or underground areas for a haunting blue glow.

Soul Bonfire

A large bonfire variant burning with soul fire. Like the normal bonfire but blue-tinted and safe near Piglins.

Getting Started

1. Install the mod — Place the downloaded JAR file into your Minecraft mods/ folder alongside your mod loader.
2. Open Creative Inventory — All 16 Decorative Blocks items appear under the Decorative Blocks creative tab. Search for decorative to find them quickly.
3. Survival crafting — Most blocks have crafting recipes using vanilla materials (oak planks, stone, iron, sand). Open your crafting table and experiment, or check the recipes with a recipe viewer mod like JEI or REI.
4. Placement — All blocks support normal block placement. Beams and chains have directional placement (look at the face you want the long axis to point along).
5. Soul fire variants — Craft the soul variants with Soul Sand or Soul Soil in the recipe instead of regular materials.

Wooden Blocks

Oak Beam

A thick horizontal structural beam made from oak. Place it horizontally along ceilings or walls to add depth and weight to large rooms. Connects visually to adjacent beams.

Oak Support

A vertical support pillar variant of the oak beam. Use it alongside stone pillars or as standalone load-bearing elements in timber-frame construction.

Oak Seat

A low bench or ledge block. Perfect for filling corners, window ledges, or adding seating areas to taverns and halls.

Oak Palisade

A vertical wooden stake block. Line them up to form defensive walls, fences with more visual bulk than vanilla fences, or rustic enclosures.

Stone & Metal Blocks

Stone Pillar

A tall stone column block. Stack multiple pillars to build classical or medieval columns. Connects top-and-bottom to form seamless multi-block pillars.

Bar Panel

A decorative iron bar grid panel. Thicker than vanilla iron bars and designed to fit inside wall openings, windows, or as dungeon cell dividers.

Chain

A chain link block that hangs vertically. Connect chandeliers, lanterns, or other blocks to ceilings with realistic chain segments.

Specialty Blocks

Thatch

A golden straw block for roofing. Gives farmhouses, taverns, and old huts an authentic thatched-roof look. Has a layered straw texture on all sides.

Lattice

A transparent stone mesh block. Works like a see-through window without using glass. Lets light pass through while blocking mobs. Ideal for medieval window openings or decorative screen walls.

Rocky Dirt

A dirt block with embedded pebbles and rocks. Use it for natural-looking ground variation around medieval buildings, stables, or garden paths.
