How to Craft and Place Half Timber Walls

Building the Frame

Half Timber blocks come in many pattern variants: %s %s Half Timber, %s Center %s Half Timber, %s Cross %s Half Timber, %s Checkered %s Half Timber, %s Diamond %s Half Timber, %s Double %s Half Timber, %s Slash %s Half Timber, %s Backslash %s Half Timber, %s Bi-Slash %s Half Timber, and %s Bi-Backslash %s Half Timber. Each variant is produced through the nekoration:neko_crafting_shaped recipe type, so you combine your chosen wood material with the pattern ingredients in the crafting grid.

Pillars and Corners

For vertical framing use the matching pillar blocks: %s %s Half Timber Pillar, %s Slash %s Half Timber Pillar, and %s Backslash %s Half Timber Pillar. These give you clean corner and edge pieces so your walls meet correctly at right angles. Place a pillar at each corner of a wall run, then fill the span between them with the flat Half Timber variant of your choice.

Mixing Patterns

Alternate a plain %s %s Half Timber with a %s Cross %s Half Timber or %s Diamond %s Half Timber to break up large surfaces. The Slash and Backslash variants mirror each other, so pair them for diagonal accents. Because the recipe is shaped, keep the pattern ingredients in the same grid positions each time to reproduce a variant consistently. Build one test wall first, confirm the pattern reads the way you want, then repeat the layout across the rest of the structure.
