Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.20.3, 1.20.4 and 1.21.6, outdated):
PackedDirtPaths1.2.1.zip  1-click install

I had a bunch of packed dirt sitting around and wanted paths.. That's where this started. This adds new recipes so the vanilla recipes won't be affected.
I figured since 6 soil = 6 packed dirt = 6 rammed earth, then soil = packed = rammed, so dirt is dirt!
I thought about just adding a recipe to return Packed or Rammed to their previous stage of.. packed-ness.. but this was far easier.

This mod allows "Packed Dirt", "Arid Packed Dirt" and "Rammed Earth" to be used to make the following:

  • Path Block, slab and Stairs
  • Light and Dark Mudbrick, as well as the slab
  • Cob and Strewn Straw
  • New: Daub!

 

Disclaimer: Does not add a smile face to the Rammed dirt texture. 😄

Oh darn, sorry for that 😅 I modified the name of the mod to hopefully avoid that impression in future. 😁
And thank you for the suggestion!

You can use 1.2.1 if you are still on game version 1.20.3. I do have to set up which game versions these work with still.
Apologies for the long wait on the answer, I am in Australia 😁

will the 1.1.0 make daub and if so should i just use 1.2.1 on 1.20.3 since 1.1.0 works foer multiple versions

Wow, I got excited for a second there, I thought this mod made packed and rammed dirt have the movement bonuses like path blocks. I have always thought the path blocks were ugly, and I think rammed earth would look a lot better. But who can give up that movement bonus? Not me. But if you are looking for some functions to add for later. 😇

I didn't think about gravel.. Hm... Using gravel for cob and such too? I can see using gravel for stone paths for sure.

DanaCraluminum, May 31st 2023 at 10:54 AM

Maybe also for gravel too

DanaCraluminum, May 31st 2023 at 10:53 AM

Yes

Wonder if I should do the same for Arid packed dirt.. 🤔

Candid , May 31st 2023 at 10:33 AM

I should be able to do that.

DanaCraluminum, May 31st 2023 at 9:44 AM

Could you please add the same for cob etc.?
