More Log Blocks
Ever looked at a stack of stripped warped hyphae and wished you could turn it into a staircase that actually matches your nether base? That is exactly the gap More Log Blocks fills. This Fabric add-on takes the humble log and expands it into a full family of building shapes, giving you slab and stair variants for logs, wood, stems, and hyphae, including all the stripped versions. If you have ever wanted a spruce log slab for a rustic roof or a crimson stem stair for a nether portal frame, this is the mod that makes it happen.
What More Log Blocks Adds to the Game
The concept is simple but the payoff is huge for builders. Vanilla Minecraft gives you planks in slab and stair form, but the log blocks themselves have always been limited to full cubes and pillars. More Log Blocks changes that by introducing craftable variants for every wood type in the game.
- Slab variants of logs, wood, stems, and hyphae
- Stair variants of the same block families
- Stripped versions of every log, wood, stem, and hyphae
- Consistent recipes that mirror vanilla plank crafting
- Support for both overworld trees and nether fungi
Because the mod covers stripped variants too, you can build textured walls, layered floors, and detailed roofs without breaking the bark aesthetic. A stripped oak log stair looks completely different from an oak plank stair, and that difference matters when you are chasing a specific look.
Supported Versions and Loader
More Log Blocks for Minecraft is built for the Fabric loader and requires Fabric API to run. The oldest supported version is 1.17.1, and the developer has been clear that back-porting to older releases is not planned. Updates are typically pushed within about a week of a new Minecraft release, so the mod tends to stay current with the latest game version. There is no official Forge port, so if you play on Forge you will need to look elsewhere or switch loaders.
Why Fabric Only?
Keeping the project on a single loader lets the author focus on fast updates and clean code rather than maintaining two separate branches. For players already using Fabric, this means quicker compatibility patches and fewer bugs after each Minecraft update.
How to Install More Log Blocks
Getting the mod running is straightforward if you have set up Fabric before. Here is the short version of how to install it:
- Install the Fabric loader for your Minecraft version
- Download Fabric API and place it in your mods folder
- Download More Log Blocks and drop the jar into the same mods folder
- Launch the game through your Fabric profile and start building
If you would rather skip the manual file juggling, the foxygame.net launcher bundles More Log Blocks directly in its add-on catalog, so a single click drops the mod and its Fabric API dependency into the right folder for your selected game version. It is a handy shortcut for players who just want to build.
One thing worth noting: the mod is licensed under GNU LGPLv3, which means it is free and open source. You can inspect the code, report bugs on the issue tracker, or join the Discord if something behaves oddly. Just check for duplicate reports before posting, since the author keeps things tidy.
Building Ideas Worth Trying
Once the mod is loaded, the creative possibilities open up fast. Log stairs make excellent exposed beams in medieval builds, while log slabs work as thick trim around windows and doorways. Stripped stem slabs are perfect for modern nether hubs, and hyphae stairs can add a subtle organic curve to fungus-themed structures. Mixing stripped and unstripped variants in the same wall creates a natural weathered texture that plain planks cannot replicate.
Because the recipes follow vanilla logic, you do not need to learn anything new. Two logs in a vertical column give you stairs, three in a row give you slabs, and the same rules apply across every wood type. That consistency is what makes the add-on feel like it belongs in the base game rather than sitting on top of it.
Final Thoughts
More Log Blocks is a small mod with a big impact on anyone who cares about detail work. It respects the vanilla aesthetic, supports a wide range of wood types, and stays updated for modern Fabric versions. If you have been waiting for a reason to finally use those spare logs in your storage chest, this is it. Grab Fabric API, download More Log Blocks, and start turning raw timber into slabs and stairs that actually fit your build.
