The Diagonal Walls mod finally introduces the long-awaited diagonal block connections for walls, completing the series of diagonal block mods. This addition addresses a significant limitation in vanilla Minecraft's building capabilities, allowing players to create much more intricate and aesthetically pleasing structures. Previously, only fences and glass panes could connect diagonally, leaving a gap in the available building options for more complex designs. With Diagonal Walls, players can now achieve a level of architectural freedom previously unattainable, enabling the construction of elaborate castles, unique fortifications, and creative decorative elements that seamlessly integrate diagonal wall segments. This mod empowers builders to realize their most ambitious architectural visions. This mod fundamentally alters how wall blocks interact with each other when placed at an angle. Instead of creating awkward gaps or failing to connect, walls now seamlessly join when positioned diagonally, mirroring the behavior of diagonal fences and windows. This enhanced connectivity allows for smoother transitions and more cohesive designs, especially in curved or complex structures. It's important to note a technical limitation: walls will no longer connect upwards and will display gaps when stacked vertically, a behavior reminiscent of older Minecraft versions prior to 1.16. This change, while a compromise, ensures the core diagonal connection functionality is robust and stable. The mod also dynamically supports blocks added by other mods, expanding its utility for diverse modpacks, and provides a mechanism to exclude specific blocks if unintended interactions occur. Diagonal Walls is designed for broad compatibility across popular Minecraft mod loaders and versions. It supports Fabric, Forge, and NeoForged, ensuring a wide range of players can integrate it into their game. The mod is compatible with Minecraft versions 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, and the 26.1 series, including 26.1.1, 26.1.2, and 26.2. Crucially, this mod is required on both the client and the server, meaning all players connecting to a server running this mod must also have it installed to avoid compatibility issues and ensure proper rendering of diagonal walls for everyone. Additionally, for Fabric and NeoForged installations, the Puzzles Lib mod is a mandatory dependency. For Fabric, Fabric API is also required, and for Forge Config API Port, it is needed for Fabric as well. Installing Diagonal Walls is straightforward for users of Fabric, Forge, and NeoForged. For Fabric and NeoForged, ensure that Puzzles Lib is installed in your mods folder. For Fabric, also install Fabric API. For Forge, the Forge Config API Port is necessary. Place the mod's JAR file into the 'mods' folder within your Minecraft installation directory. Before launching the game, verify that all required dependencies are correctly installed and that you are running a compatible version of Minecraft and your chosen mod loader. If you wish to configure the mod, and have Mod Menu by Prospector installed on Fabric, you can access its settings in-game. Otherwise, manual configuration files can be found in the .minecraft/config directory, named with the mod's ID.
