However I think a large and sophisticated build such this, with painted tiles and hewn rock, needs beams. They even look better! Good day sir, I would like to inform you that I did use plenty of support beams. I will add some more pictures in just a bit if you like, but I pride my builds on being possible to make irl, and that would be insane had I allowed a roof of that size to be freestanding. .........

This man clearly hasn't noticed the existance of beams.

I don't mean support beams in general, but the special beam block crafted out of logs, that Mevans has so nicely added to the mod. E.g. 'oak wood beam' or 'mirk-oak wood beam', among many, many others. Crafted in a verticle shape with three wood logs on the normal crafting table. Can be placed horizontally and vertically. Their appearance can be described as four smaller rods bundled together, in a similar colour to the bark of the original log. They cannot be used to craft slabs and each 'craft' yields a batch of three beams.
