Cinch’s Better Deepslate Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) – Expanded Deepslate Building & Tools

Cinch’s Better Deepslate Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) enhances Minecraft’s underground aesthetics and utility by expanding how deepslate can be used in both construction and combat. The mod introduces a complete set of building blocks slabs, stairs, and walls for standard deepslate, a feature oddly missing from vanilla. Even more exciting, it adds mossy versions of cobbled deepslate, bricks, and tiles, giving players a lush, aged look that blends perfectly in overgrown ruins or fantasy builds. Additionally, the mod includes new tools made from deepslate and blackstone, which offer increased durability over stone tools without jumping straight to iron.
