Mortar (and Pastels)

This mod is a relatively lightweight building mod that aims to fix some of the gaps in the vanilla block sets.


New Dyed Variants

1.21.5 only!

To fill in the holes in the vanilla dye colors, Mortar introduces 8 new dye colors, bringing the total count in the game to 24.

From left to right, these new colors are:

  • Maroon
  • Scarlet
  • Amber
  • Pear
  • Pine
  • Slate
  • Lavender
  • Salmon

Only one of these is really pastel but the name Mortar and Pastels was too good)

All of these dye colors have the same blocks and items as vanilla; concretes, terracottas, banners, bundles and more!

There has been careful work done to ensure the new dyes are integrated as tightly into the game as all vanilla ones while not adding an excessive number of related additions. Various recipes have been added or altered to fit the new dye colors in, and you'll find the dyed blocks throughout vanilla structures and biomes.

Alternate Stone Block Sets

The alternate stone types have all been given the same treatment as Tuff in terms of variants. Andesite, Calcite, Diorite, and Granite now all have brick sets. Calcite also has a new polished set.

Stairs, Slabs, and Walls

Several missing stair, slab, and wall variants of existing blocks have been introduced. This includes Smooth Stone Stairs, Quartz Brick variants, and others for where there is a precedent for them existing.

Chiseled Bricks

Brick blocks without chiseled variants have been given ones. This includes Prismarine, Red Nether, and End Stone bricks.

# Version 2.0.0!

## Block Additions/Changes
  • Removed the Polished Tuff family as they are in the vanilla game now. The old texture will be enabled if Programmer Art is turned on.
  • Added brick variants of all alternate stones.** This includes granite, andesite, diorite, and calcite. These have stair, slab, and wall variants.
  • Cleaned up the Chiseled End Stone Bricks texture.
  • Polished Calcite now has a higher pitch sound compared to regular Calcite.
  • Conduits can now be powered with Chiseled Prismarine Bricks.

## Recipes
  • Chiseled Mossy Stone Bricks can now be crafted with moss blocks/vines and chiseled stone bricks.
  • Many stonecutter recipes were fixed to allow more streamlined crafting (e.g. Polished Andesite Walls can be crafted directly from Andesite like all other Polished Andesite blocks).

## Worldgen
  • Integrated a few Mortar blocks into vanilla structures. This is enabled by default, but can be disabled by setting enable_structure_integrations to false in the config at config/mortar.json.
  • Mossy Chiseled Stone Bricks will generate in Ruined Portals.
  • Granite Bricks and Diorite Bricks will generate in Ocean Ruins.
