Cinch???s Better Deepslate Mod matters if you build with deepslate and want a more complete, more consistent block set. It adds slabs, stairs, and walls for normal deepslate, introduces mossy versions of cobbled deepslate, bricks, and tiles, and revises recipes to bring deepslate closer to standard stone crafting.
Key Features
- Completes the base deepslate set: Normal deepslate gets slab, stair, and wall variants that are missing from the standard block lineup.
- Adds weathered-looking options: Mossy variants are included for cobbled deepslate, deepslate bricks, and deepslate tiles.
- Reworks crafting logic: Recipes are revised to align deepslate more closely with standard stone crafting.
- Version history note: The mod data lists deepslate and blackstone tools with extended durability, while the latest Modrinth changelog says those tools were moved to a separate mod called Cinch's Tool Variants.
