Blocks You Need is a modular series of Block-packs inspired by the likes of the Chisel mod of old, with a more focused theme-driven idea.
These blocks are survival ready, recipes have been added to every block you see here.

This looks great, but some blocks really look like they could have function (like barrels) and it feels a little unsatisfying when you try to "use" them and nothing happens 😅
On a side note, since you update your mod more often on curseforge, I think it would be great to have it linked here so people can check for latest versions more easily.
Can I find a mod that has Corrupted Sheet metal but on version 1 19 2?
