Meant as a sort of spiritual successor to the original Better Blocks, this mod is a collection of small modular changes to the properties of certain vanilla blocks and items. Each component is stand-alone and can be disabled or re-enabled separately from all of the others:
Better Bonemeal
- Gives bonemeal the ability to fertilize mycellium (and more… sort-of)
Better Blaze Powder
- Adds ability to fertilize netherwart with blaze powder
Better Charcoal
- Gives charcoal it’s own sprite
Better Cobwebs
- Adds ability to harvest cobwebs with shears
Better Dye
- Dye can be used to ‘paint’ on wool blocks directly
Better Mushrooms
- Adds ability to harvest mushroom blocks with silk touch
- Adds mushroom blocks to the creative inventory
Better Recipes
- Changes the recipes for cake, cookies, and powered and detector rails
Better Spawners
- Adds monster spawners to the creative inventory
- Adds ability to change a spawner’s type by right-clicking with mob eggs
- Adds some additional mob eggs into the creative inventory
- Silverfish blocks moved to misc tab of the creative inventory
Better Stairs
- Adds eleven optional stair-types
Better Torches
- Torches can be placed on stairs, slabs, glass, and ice (where appropriate)
Better Wood
- Changes inner textures of logs to better match bark and planks
