How can I make MC like grass blocks with green grass (or dry grass) on the sides, not only on top?

Old idea. This screenie is already two years old:


paramat did something into this direction with a mapgen mod he wrote. (IIRC)
See also: Hills [grassblock]

That's what I mean, but it should be generated. This mod only adds decoration blocks.

And it should look like this



Top block is a grass block, the block below is normal grass (should not be removed)

I override the default dirt_with_grass which works fine.



But it doesn't look so good from the side.



Where can I find the ABM for the grass?

ABM is working, but buggy. He just replace the node below with a new dirt_with_grass_side block.

Have you looked at Landscape mod by Blockmen ?
I think it does something similar...

Not bad, but buggy. If there is grass or a flower on the node the grass block is removed. Also only dirt_with_grass works. Have to modify it for other soil from valleys mg

Another possibility is to make the grass 'fringe' close to the node base https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/3686677/13000918/3c6060c4-d158-11e5-831c-9d7b7ff1a50a.png
