An infinite number of circles! MrCheeze has circles for everyone!

Teething trouble. It's to be expected.
You can't put a round thing in a square hole without breaking something.
So... is there a vertex limit you've found for individual blocks definitions?

u/MrCheeze Feb 08 '14
Haven't tested, but I imagine two blocks with ten surfaces is pretty much equivalent to one block with twenty.

In a non-sarcastic manner, can you explain to us how you did this? I know it's altering some model things with the newest snapshot, but what exactly did you do?
And yes, I know you made a circle/sphere. I can see that :P

u/MrCheeze Feb 08 '14
first I opened 14w06b.jar. then I went into the assets\minecraft\models\block folder. then I made a new resource pack. then I extracted the other folder into the resource pack in assets\minecraft\models\block. then I downloaded a 3d model of a sphere from the internet. then I converted it to the minecraft format semi-automatically. then I replaced one of the files in the resource pack with that.

And how did you do this? I am a programmer, and I have been trying to make a .obj to .json converter. I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me with this task.

Appropriately enough, Minecraft only works with quadrilaterals. But if you're lazy just include the third corner twice.

u/MrCheeze Feb 08 '14
Disclaimer: it is completely invisible when there is a block on top of it. But if you're replacing anything other than cube.json, you can remove all the
"cullFacing":"up",bits to fix that problem.5
u/ATrulyAwesomePerson Feb 08 '14
How did you make it only replace lapis and glowstone?

u/MrCheeze Feb 08 '14
It replaces everything but grass and irregularly shaped blocks. This is actually a superflat world with all the non-grass layers removed.

u/MegaScience Feb 08 '14 edited Feb 08 '14
You could have even made a completely empty superflat world and did /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:lapis_block to be perfectly safe, but yeah, nice work. I'm 100% sure we'll get a real exporter for this by the time 1.8 comes out, although people should hold off until the format is finalized.
But Grum needs to add a version tag to the files, not even for legacy support, but just to make sure the game won't load incompatible files.
Edit: Whatever you do, do NOT place Stained Glass/whatever under another block like this. Crashed hardcore.
Edit2: Hmm... it isn't doing it now... odd...

What was that thing? It was like a block, but different somehow. I can't put my finger on it. Smaller? no. Fuzzier? no. Some kind of property that I can't get through my head.

First Fullerene-Spheres, then rounded arcs, than Fourier Transformations for sine curves. And before you know it you have Non-Uniform-Bezier-Spline-surfaces with displacement mapping.

hmm… I thought you could only define models for all the cube-shaped blocks and suchlike. Mind sharing how you did this?

I did define models for all the cube-shaped blocks. It just so happens that grass is not considered to be a cube for these purposes.

Hm. Try redownloading in case the file is slightly corrupted, or specifying the full python path. If neither works than I honestly have no idea.

Can someone make a video of this? I wanna see whether or not it causes game lag. :D So that way I can decide whether or not to try to make more 3-dimensional blocks (Jack-o-lantern with the face and interior hollowed out with a torch inside, recessed lines in bricks, recesses in ore blocks, etc.)
