Mortared stone and brick arches
hitzu
Most building materials have their own unique features, and mortared stone appears quite outdated and bland in comparison to other materials. I'd propose to add unique shapes to them: arches. They should be a multiblock shape, just like ramps, and automatically appear when the shape is composed correctly.
There are two variants:
- Arches are as close to a full half circle as possible without excessive blocks
- Arches are flatter but easier to construct without guessing
Downsides: a lot of prefabs to be made
Benefits: not only do they look dope, but on top of that, they're going to incentivise players to build more structurally sound and realistic structures

This is a thing with the Polychrome mod already, but would like arches to be a block form across tiers and materials in vanilla.
Arches, alcoves, more than just 1x1 pillars and statues are a weak point of the current building system in my opinion, and it would greatly add to the type of buildings that can realistically be made
