So, I've recently taken a hiatus from Brohoof, or any "micro" modpacks such as the BronyModPack, in order to test my computer to its limits. I've seen quite a few mods, opened quite a few new doors, even gotten into the dev team of an HQM modpack.

 

I've found that there are two mods, that make building so much more fun, and so much easier and elaborate.

Chisel 2,

 

and

 

Carpenter's Blocks

 

 

The only issue is that, if the admins were to add it to the modpack, it would no longer be able to be played by someone using just Vanilla Minecraft

 

Opinions, please?

While I know that I would love it and many admins and builders as well, we dont want to require players to have mods to view our builds on the server. These look like great fun though!

 

Maybe Minecraft will take some inspiration from these mods.

I certainly hope so. They should at least let us place stairs and slabs sideways.

Chilsel 2 is actually possible to be implemented in (mostly) vanilla using resource packs and mcpathcer/optifine. If you make use of fixed ctm specifying metadata, you can use new blocks and still have it compatible with vanilla (server and client), though mcpatcher is required to actually view it. Love & Tolerance used to use this for 31:0 (tall grass), replacing it with poison joke because it was an unused id.

 

Note that any new blocks that don't have native metadata will not be place-able by the player and will require worldedit. Blocks with native metadata include planks, logs, flowers, sandstone, stone (1.8), and fence (1.8).

 

An example of a resource pack that makes use of this, plus more, is Tanviir. http://www.planetmin...x-tanviir-pack/

Hrm. That sounds like it might be difficult to do though, right? I might need to talk to my more... technologically savvy friends to see just how that would work... Sounds like it would be a pretty cool thing to implement, though!
