-Testing out the possibility of a Carpenter's Blocks-like mod in Fabric. Not yet complete.
+Templates is an API for Carpenter's Blocks-like templated blocks. Currently, plain slopes are the only built-in template blocks.
+
+Template blocks can be placed in the world, then right-clicked with a full-size block to set the textures for the template. Template blocks will inherit light and redstone values from the blocks they're given, or they can have light or redstone output added to any given block by right-clicking the template with glowstone dust or a redstone torch, respectively.
