SM7 Better Blocks is a building and crafting mod for 7 Days to Die that introduces two new endgame material tiers, Hardened Steel and Reinforced Steel, along with upgraded spike traps and new log spikes.

It expands the vanilla defense progression by giving players more advanced crafting chains for blocks and traps, including high-HP shapes and multiple spike variants with different durability and damage profiles.

The mod is aimed at players who want stronger, more durable base defenses for late-game horde nights without relying solely on vanilla materials.

Both quick, high-damage spike traps and slow-degrading, high-durability log spikes are included, giving builders flexibility in designing their defensive layouts.
