Its been a while since I released a mod here, how about we do it again :>
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 is the "Industra - Laborata" module!
Featuring blocks perfect for victorian-era factories, steampunk devices & new-age sterile laboratories.
Each mod in the series starts out with a few blocks, very minor additions to world-generation, and slowly builds up with each version to add more variety to it. Most blocks are functioned on decor, and for making your factories, dockyards, railyards, steam ship drydocks?, and labs feel more vibrant and alive.
Currently features:
Industrial/Steampunk Blocks
Scorched Stone and variants
Wrought & Pig Iron (Blasting Recipe)
Deep (set) Bricks
Soot & Soot Accessories
Iron & Wrought Iron Factory-Floor Blocks
Corrugated Sheetmetals (Iron, Wrought, Scrap)
Shale
Wrought Iron Windows
Wrought Iron Plate
Copper, Brass, Bronze & Wrought Iron Pipes
Reinforced Crate & Metallic Crates
Hazard/Cautionary Wrapped Blocks
Ropes & Cables
Mesh & Mesh Sheet
Laboratory Blocks
Labrat Panels & Antipanels (inspired by the Portal series)
Functional Labrat Indicator Panels & Antipanels
Anti-blocks (inspired by Antichamber) & the metal one should not touch
More will be added with each update!
If you have ideas for blocks you'd like to see, or blocks needing to be tweaked, ask away! (just not for Connected Textures support, im not able to do that)
If you find bugs!
State what you found them on, be it as small as an incorrect name or broken recipe, or as big as "my game has stopped working", so long as you provide a good explanation of what it is, I can find the bugs and exterminate em.
