What would it take, to create a block color in the builder which would be using: "render_info": { "material": "materials/shiny.material.json" }, The only thing I have discovered is, that the material is decided somewhere deeper than the palette level. I’d like to create a palette for …

That’s a really awesome idea. Metal building blocks would be great. Maybe even something like polished stone would be great. :smile:

repeatpan tells it more clearly then i can [image] Lets talk ice. and how to implement it Modding There were various reasons why Frostfeast did not incorporate ice: It’s not possible, or was not possible, to have translucent terrain blocks. For me, this is a deal breaker…

Hmm… the post is just pointing out translucent terrain blocks. The other stuff relates to water. There might still be a chance to have a different renderer for some building blocks :thinking:

I think kitty did that already, with glowing building blocks. Edit: Not kitty, this guy here: [image] [MOD-A22.5] Color Blocks! (and you can help) Current Mods Download: color_blocks.smod (634.6 KB) Inspired by the terrain colors mod I wanted to add some myself. Initia…

Ohhhh :open_mouth: Thank you for finding that! I shall dissect it! >:D Edit: Oh, I see. Those are entities, not building blocks :thinking:

yea hthats what repeatpan said, entities: go for it, blocks just dont support it as of now. you would have to write the stuff the allows it to do it. (which i at least, cant even dream of doing)

Well, like I’ve said, my information might be outdated. How are the glittering effects for the ores made? If it’s anything with a material or shader, there’s a chance it could work too. If it isn’t, then it’s something that can’t be modded in by normal means. It’s part of the engine, which is seale…

In that case it might be possible, since built blocks are slightly different than terrain blocks in terms of definition, and there might be a place somewhere where you could probably define different material maps for your built blocks. Not sure tho, just guesswork - never delved much into building…

Shiny building blocks?

Modding

I suspect this would run into the same problem as my idea for ice, I don’t thing there is code support for it
