What if you could improve the existing Vanilla stairs? Or have new ones?!

Well this mod has the answer to that! Now you can add Stair Railings to Vanilla or Modded Stairs, and even change their style

by right clicking with shears! In the mod there are also 5 new stair designs, and balcony railings too!

Remember, this is the very first version of the mod, we optimized the hell out of it!

Suggest your ideas on our Macaw's discord.
