DEA To Place Kratom, Mitragynine On Schedule I: Premature Move May Compromise Research, Benefits

With the federal intent to place the herb and its bioactive constituents on Schedule I, the DEA is ignoring the increasing scientific literature on a potential beneficial medical use of the plant. Schedule I classification, used for drugs with no known medical use and high abuse potential, will certainly make subsequent research on the plant more difficult.

Managed to add slopes in Vanilla Minecraft with the help of 3D models

However, it needs a custom resource pack and only used purely for show in builds. The slopes you are seeing right now are green stained glasses with their models replaced. The blocks below it are normal white stained clays. But since green stained glass is a full block, this means that the position of the block is not relative to the direction I'm standing. The only way to make this work is to use stairs.

I used green stained glass since its a transparent block, so I do not need to worry about the block being see through, ruining the effect.

At least, you can now construct builds more realistically, assuming the player doesn't break and observe it closely 😀
