Blocks & Building

Overview

ReInDev 2.9_03 ships an enormous palette for construction: 574 entries in the Building Blocks tab, plus 81 dedicated slab types and 70 stair types. Nearly every solid material is expanded into a full "family" of variants, and most stone-like materials carry their own bricks, pillars, mosaics, cuneiform blocks and cobbled/polished/chiseled forms. This page surveys the building palette; functional/redstone blocks are covered separately.

Stone, Brick, Slab & Stair Families

The backbone of building is the rock tier. Plain Stone (hardness 1.5, blast resistance 30, ROCK, pickaxe-mined) crafts and smelts into a deep chain: Cobblestone (2.0 / 30), Stone Bricks, Polished Stone, Polished Stone Bricks, and decorative Mosaic Stone, Stone Pillar and Stone Cuneiform Block. Fired clay gives Bricks (2.5 / 30) and the Terracotta line. Mod-specific rock types each repeat this template: Limestone, Granite, Basalt, Scoria, Slate, Cloudstone, Brimstone, Ridrock, Coquina, Slag and more, every one with its own bricks, pillar, mosaic and cuneiform variant.

Slabs and stairs are the defining breadth of this mod. There are 81 distinct slab base types and 70 stair base types, spanning rock, brick, wood, gem and nether materials. Slabs stack into double-slabs when placed on each other, and most brick materials offer both a "rock" slab and a "brick" slab. This means almost any wall material you choose can be matched with a coordinating slab and staircase.

Wood Types

Base Planks are hardness 2.0 / resistance 15, WOOD, axe-mined. The mod adds many tree species, each with logs, stripped logs, leaves and saplings: Oak, Spruce, Cherry, Azure, Crimson, Ebony, Firwood (Fir) and Thistlewood. Per species you also get Polished Wood, Tiled Planks, a Bookshelf, Button and Pressure Plate, plus doors, trapdoors, fences, fence gates and ladders. Four species (Azure, Crimson, Ebony, Thistlewood) additionally have Glowing Planks decorative variants. Colored Planks (1.5 / 7.5) are dyed planks, and dyed wood can be built into a Colored Chest (2.5 / 12.5).

Colored Blocks: Cloth, Carpet & Balls

ReInDev's "wool" is named Cloth (block 35, BlockColored, hardness 0.8, resistance 4, material CLOTH, harvested fastest with a sword). All colored cloth, carpet, balls, planks and chests use the same 16-dye system:

Gems & Lamps

Four "gem metals" form parallel premium building lines: Citrine (yellow), Jet (black), Mythril (teal) and Quartz (white). Each is material METAL, hardness 3, resistance 30, and expands into Cobbled, Polished, Chiseled, Bricks, Pillar, Cuneiform, Rune, Cluster, Glass, Torch and Lamp variants — plus Framed glass/brick decorative forms. Opal is a tougher gem (hardness 3, resistance 60). The clusters glow (light 7; Large clusters reach 15), and the four Gem Lamps (Citrine/Jet/Mythril/Quartz) are full brightness-15 light sources crafted by surrounding glowstone with the gem.

Other lighting blocks include the redstone-toggled Lamp Block (LIGHT_BLOCK, light 15, built from glass, glowstone and sticks), the glowing colored pearl blocks — Azzurpearl, Carnepearl, Purpearl, Verdepearl, Xanthpearl and their brick forms, all light 15 — plus Glowstone, Hivelight and the gem torches (light 14). The mod offers 13 glass types, including gem glass, Framed glass, Tinted, Tempered, and Mineral/Soul Sand glass.

Decorative Furniture

Beyond walls, ReInDev includes real furniture you can craft per material:

With matched slabs, stairs, pillars, fences, gates and lamps available for nearly every material, almost any block in the palette can anchor a complete, coordinated build.
