[Feature]: Alternate texture application style (inspired by Create's "Copycat Step")

Describe the feature

So I was building custom dungeons, exploring decorative options, and noticed something very interesting.

On the left in each set, we have Create's "Copycat Step", and on the right in each set we have Framed Blocks' "Framed Slab Edge". Don't get me wrong. I love Framed Blocks, but Create's texture application is superior here. There's a lot of cases where I find myself not using 'bordered texture' blocks with Framed Blocks that are not full blocks because textures cut off and look weird. Create addresses this issue perfectly. It's also worth noting that both blocks put onto the respective camo-type blocks are NOT from Create.

If you could look into how Create is doing this, apply it to Framed Blocks, and make a toggle-able option in the config so players can choose between the old and new texture application, I would be eternally grateful. And I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one. I realize that this could potentially be an undertaking and a half, however, the issue of bordered block textures being cut off abruptly would be gone. Let me know what you think.

PS: Their application method is here (quickly provided to me by aaronhowser1); https://github.com/Creators-of-Create/Create/blob/mc1.20.1/dev/src/main/java/com/simibubi/create/content/decoration/copycat/CopycatStepModel.java

This is unfortunately not feasible. The way the texture layout on copycat blocks works is problematic with any block shape that isn't a single cube, especially once connected textures come into play, and also does not play nice at all with angled shapes, which would prevent it from being applied to a very significant part of the mod's blocks. Apart from that, the copycat texture layout has a significantly larger implementation cost compared to the current layout and maintaining both is something I cannot justify in terms of maintenance cost.

With that being said, the Framed Collapsible Copycat Block should be able to provide the feature you need, assuming all you need is a single cube. It's shape can be changed into any rectangular shape between a single "pixel" and a full cube by hitting it with a Framed Hammer (while crouching to move a face towards you, without crouching to move it away from you).
