Can't make vertical slabs and vertical slabs can't stack
The forge modpage says "Simply hold sneak when holding a regular slab to place a vertical version! This also works with combining two vertical slabs including vertical slabs from Quark, just ensure you are not holding sneak to combine!" However, when I tried placing down a vertical slab with Sneak, it just placed down a regular slab, and when I tried stacking vertical slabs from Quark, it didn't work.
I also have this issue, i also can't give myself a vertical slab in 1.21.1
In the 1.21.1 version, vertical slabs are a separate item crafted by putting a slab on its own into a crafting table. (The mod page does mention that the sneak thing doesn't work on 1.21.1, but that may have been added after this issue was made.)
Im playing on 1.20.1 forge and it also doesn't let me
