Macaw's Roofs is built for builders who struggle to make convincing sloped roofs in vanilla.

It is approachable enough to drop into a world and use right away, with little setup required.
The mod is available for Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge, so it fits a range of modpacks and launchers. It currently supports Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, spanning the 1.20.1 to 1.21.1 releases. It runs on both the client and the server, so on a multiplayer server every player who connects needs it installed alongside the server itself.
