Add Carpenter's Paths

[CruzBishop]

Well, this was a fun experience :)

This commit adds paths, aptly named Carpenter's Paths. Also knows as Carpenter's Track and Stumpcutter's Gangplank. Arr! 💀

Looks good!
Does this try speed modifications, like other road blocks, or is it purely decorative?

[CruzBishop]

Thanks :) It's purely decorative, I wasn't sure if speed should be affected by it

[Syndaryl]

I'm happy with purely decorative. I've seen a lot of weird little side effects with movement modifying roads (enemy AI is particularly quirky).

How do road blocks connect up with slopes? If I want a slope to do a change in height, instead of steps or a one-block discontinuity?

[CruzBishop]

I hadn't thought of that, just tested and it doesn't seem to be very good. Graphically it's a one pixel step, but in terms of functionality, you can't run straight from a path up a slope.

I'm not really sure how to get around that :(

I like the idea, but I don't think it is unique enough on its own. This is possible with the Collapsible block, and I was even thinking of adding adjustable step increments to the Carpenter's Block -- which would further add this sort of capability.

I admire your effort, though. If you can think of an effect unique to just this block, whether it is something you can implement or you would like me to take a shot at, I am more than happy to hear it. One idea might be adding some different rendered styles, maybe uniquely coverable elements as well. I can contribute to the idea a bit, but I don't have as much time as I used to.

Hi @CruzBishop and @Syndaryl , could you tell me if the Mod will be updated to 1.15.2 or something?
