Big news everyone.

After the 1.3 update, this mod will be discontinued. Don't be upset though- I have good reasons for doing this and I won't be abandoning the decoration-yearning community. So, here's what's going to happen:
I'll be updating to 1.3 as easily as possible, and then stopping development on the Decoratives Mod. I will then be creating a new system for my mods that share a common base. I'll try to stick to small mods that can work together but don't need each other to work. I will be making decoration mods that add chairs, tables, carpets, etc. One of the main reasons for this is how poorly and inefficiently coded this mod is. I started it back when I was new to Java and programming in general.
So don't worry, you won't lose all the great things of the mod. It will just be changing form.

In a recent update:


Have you ever wanted more variety in your blocks? Do you want a fancier castle? Well now you know about the Decoratives Mod! This mod adds decorative blocks to the game to add fancyness. These include tables, carpets, stained glass, glowstone torches, some nice patterned blocks, smooth sandstone, and concrete.

Content (new blocks, new recipes):

Spoiler:

Tables
New in the 1.3.0 update, I bring you a long awaited feature: TABLES! These are sensitive to the tables and blocks around them and will fit themselves to look good in any environment! They've also got 12 different types!


More Table Pics:

Spoiler:

Chairs
Do you want to sit down and rest for once? Are your stubby, square legs getting sore? Are your tables lonely? Well now there's chairs! You can make them with or without armrests, out of stone and all three colors of planks.


More awesome chair pictures:

Spoiler:

Stained Glass
Ever wanted to build with colored glass? Maybe some kind of church? Well now you can! Just smelt yourself up some pure glass then combine it with almost any type of dye and you've got yourself some stained glass!
BEST WITH FANCY GRAPHICS ON



Carpets
Have you ever wanted a nice looking living room carpet to go in between your stair-built couch and your gigantic fireplace? Do you want a different floor on your second floor than the stone ceiling of the first? Well, now all your dreams are coming true, because you can now make carpet out of any color of wool, just by placing two of that color of wool next to eachother in the crafting table!





Fire Pits
Are you tired of sleeping your first few nights in Minecraft freezing your #$@ off? Would you like a small campfire when exploring? Would you like to do strange sheep sacrifices to Notch in burning sheep in a fire pit? Well now you can. Just craft this with a half slab of your choice (exept wood, of course) and a piece of coal, and you've got yourself a fire pit made from that respective material.


Colored Planks
What?? Colored planks??? Do you mean the colors of the rainbow??? NO DUMMY! I mean colors matching the logs! Now there's birch planks, pine/"redwood" planks, and regular old normal planks!



Bark Stripper
If you want some colored planks, you need to make a bark stripper. Then you follow the instructional image above.



Fancy Cobblestone
Ladies and gentlemen, is your cobblestone too boring? Do you hate that plain, ugly look of normal cobblestone? Well here it is, Fancy Cobblestone!


Fancy Clean Stone
Do you think the clean stone look is too plain? Want to be in top style as a wealthy minecraftian? Build your house out of high class Fancy Stone!


Fancy Wood
Bored of regular old planks? Want some higher class wood? Want tiles for your kitchen? Craft some fancy wood!


Smooth Sandstone
Do you think that your sandstone is to chunky and rocky? Want some smooth, nice looking sandstone? Just chuck some sandstone in a furnace and get some smooth sandstone!


Concrete
If you're like me, you think gravel is completely useless. Well not anymore! Now you can smelt gravel into concrete, which you can use to build better-looking roads, skyscrapers, city buildings, and to take one step closer to the modern era- in Minecraft!



Pure Glass
Have you ever been putting windows in your house, and you think to yourself: "I wish I had a clearer view through my windows"? Well, think no more! Now you can just put some glass in a furnace and get Pure Glass, completely clear without blocking your vision!


Glowstone Torches
Do you want more light from you torches? Do you have too much glowstone? Well with glowstone torches, all your problems will go away! Giving off a light level of 15, Glowstone Torches effectively produce more light than normal torches! In fact, they give off the same light as sunlight! Now, being glowstone, they're not on fire, but they're hot enough that they still give off smoke. Just craft it like a normal torch, but with glowstone dust instead of coal. Or, if you're one who likes to overuse torches, put your glowstone dust in the furnace and recieve heated glowstone dust! With heated glowstone dust, you can craft four times the torches with the same amount of glowstone!

Double Slabs
Tired of placing your double slabs painfully slowly? Do you just want to build out of double slabs because it looks nice? Well with improved double slabs, your pains and annoyances end here! Just craft a slab on top of another and BAM! You've got yourself a new double slab! (This mod also gives double slabs a name instead of "unnamed 43")

[Coupon22]

Apsolutly amazing! I downloaded this in a heart beat...




One problem...

Use Metadata on the stained glass, it uses about 16 block ids, it needs to be like wool and use 0.

[crotchfist]

nicely done.
i like the fancy blocks, they look good while using the Jolicraft theme.
