[Plainy]

@xTordX might join in the process of making textures YAY!

Version 0.4-alpha is out!
It features a shiny new glass sword, compatibility for MineFactory Reloaded and Tinkers Construct and some new textures made by @Plainy and @xTordX

 

[Plainy]

So what texture did you go with?
for the sword...

 

[xTordX]

Uhh... Really? It's just the red one. (Gaahd i need to make the rest!!)

 

[Plainy]

.... well I wrote in the changelog that they're still WIP

 

[xTordX]

XD hehah! See plainy? This is why we don't add ljfas to our droppy boxes.

 

[ljfa]

Oh come on, they're not that bad looking and I can still include new ones in the next release

 

[xTordX]

Is there support for extra utilis?

No. Not sure if I'll add this.

 

[xTordX]

Well... There's glass there too. Also, mind adding a little easter egg if i code it?

I guess not. Tell me in convo what you have in mind.

Can you add support for multiple glass types per block in your API? I'm making a decorative mod with multicolored stained glass, so I would appreciate if it could drop more than one shard color.

Hm...I'll look into it. Might be a bit complicated.
But what you can do for now is choose a random color for each call of getType.

Ok, that makes sense. I'll do that.

 

[xTordX]

Oy m8s! Texturer here! We've found a wonderful way to support fast graphics!

 

[ljfa]

Just the same thing as leaves using a different, opaque texture on fast graphics

 

[xTordX]

But still! We did!
Well actually i dreamt this last night. :3

Version 1.0-beta is released! The internal workings should be pretty stable now, so I can move on from alpha.

Once again we have new textures, made by @xTordX . These textures represent my idea of multiple shards better than the former ones. There shouldn't be any major texture changes in the future.

Glass can now be ground into shards, and shards into sand using Thermal Expansion's Pulverizer or EnderIO's SAG Mill.
Also, you can now melt the shards in Tinkers Construct's Smeltery.

Because some config option gave changed their name I suggest deleting the current config file and letting it create a new one.
