Key Features

Early Game Accessibility Blocks like wattle and daub, rammed earth, and adobe provide protection comparable to stone but at significantly lower cost.

Complete Building Set Each block type is available as walls, slabs, and stairs, opening endless construction possibilities.

Enhanced Blast Resistance Dry stone masonry has blast resistance nearly equal to obsidian.

Framework Construction The timber framing system with infill offers 39 different rotatable patterns for each filler type, creating thousands of unique design solutions.

Construction Tools Carpenter's tools allow rotating framework blocks directly in the game world using Shift + Right Click.

Dynamic Structures Wicker gabions collapse like gravel or sand when activated with Shift + Right Click with an empty hand or via redstone signal.
