More Materials Mod 1.10.2, 1.7.10 by localtoast — Reference
Items
The mod adds several intermediate items used in the construction of advanced building blocks. These items represent the raw materials used in traditional masonry and carpentry.
Raw Materials
| Item | Description | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Brick Clay | A mixture of clay, sand, and dirt. | Used to create standard bricks or stained variants. |
| Stained Brick Clay | Brick clay that has been treated with dye. | Must be fired in a furnace to produce Stained Bricks. |
| Stained Brick | The fired result of Stained Brick Clay. | Used to craft Stained Brick Blocks and Walls. |
| Daub | A primitive plaster made from earth and clay. | The primary filler for Wooden Frames (Wattle and Daub). |
Staining and Firing
Staining occurs at the clay stage. Unlike vanilla hardened clay which is stained after firing, More Materials requires the player to dye the Brick Clay first. Once dyed, the clay is fired in a furnace to lock in the color as a Stained Brick.
Blocks
The core of the mod consists of a massive variety of building blocks. Most blocks come in all 16 Minecraft colors: White, Orange, Magenta, Light Blue, Yellow, Lime, Pink, Gray, Light Gray, Cyan, Purple, Blue, Brown, Green, Red, and Black.
Stained Brick Blocks
These are the primary decorative blocks of the mod. They function identically to vanilla brick blocks but offer a full spectrum of colors. They are available in three forms: * Full Blocks: Standard 1x1 blocks. * Stairs: Sloped blocks for roofing and detailing. * Slabs: Half-height blocks for flooring and accents.
Walls
The mod expands the "Wall" category (similar to Cobblestone Walls) to include several new materials: * Brick Walls: Traditional red brick walls. * Stained Brick Walls: Walls matching the 16 stained brick colors. * Hardened Clay Walls: Walls made from standard terracotta. * Stained Clay Walls: Walls made from the 16 colors of stained terracotta.

- Diagonal Frame: 7 Sticks surrounding 1 Daub (leaving one corner empty).
- Cross Frame: 6 Sticks surrounding 1 Daub (forming an X shape with sticks).
