Extended Block Shapes Blockus Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I get started with Extended Block Shapes Blockus?
Once installed, the mod automatically adds new shape variants to your creative inventory and loot tables. You can find stairs, slabs, walls, and vertical slabs for Blockus blocks in the creative menu under the Blockus tab, or craft them using the same recipes as vanilla equivalents but with Blockus block materials.
What blocks from Blockus get new shapes?
The mod adds shape variants for polished stones, colored planks, and other common Blockus blocks. Check the mod's block list or creative inventory to see which specific blocks have stairs, slabs, walls, and vertical slabs available in your version.
Can I use vertical slabs to create thin walls?
Yes, vertical slabs are designed for this purpose and let you build detailed architectural features without taking up a full block width. They work well for trim, pillars, and decorative wall details.
Do the new block shapes match Blockus textures?
Yes, all shape variants are designed to match Blockus textures and themes seamlessly. The textures scale and align properly on stairs, slabs, and walls so your builds look cohesive.
How do I craft stairs or slabs from Blockus blocks?
Use the standard Minecraft crafting recipes: arrange the Blockus block material in the stair or slab pattern on a crafting table, just as you would with vanilla blocks. The recipes follow vanilla conventions.
Can I use these blocks with other mods?
Extended Block Shapes Blockus is designed to work with the Blockus mod and should be compatible with most other mods that don't conflict with block registration. If you experience issues, check that Blockus itself is installed and up to date.
Do walls from this mod connect like vanilla walls?
Yes, Blockus walls follow vanilla wall behavior and connect to adjacent walls, fences, and blocks to create seamless barriers and borders.
What's the difference between slabs and vertical slabs?
Regular slabs are half-height blocks placed horizontally, while vertical slabs are full-height but only half a block wide, oriented vertically. Use vertical slabs for thin pillars and trim, and regular slabs for floors and ceilings.
Can I dye or customize the colored planks further?
The colored planks come in fixed Blockus colors. You cannot dye them further, but the mod provides multiple color options to choose from for your builds.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod simply adds new block variants and should have minimal performance impact. Performance depends on your overall modpack and system; if you experience lag, try reducing render distance or checking for conflicting mods.
