Minecraft: Illegal Building Techniques

Minecraft building technique videos usually involve vanilla Minecraft build hacks. On the contrary, I whipped up a mod to add illegal building techniques to Minecraft, similar to illegal Lego building techniques. These are things you should never build in Minecraft - they're cursed! The thumbnail is from an actual in-game screenshot.

[@darkreddust2135]

The wrench is actually really sick. The stuff you can do with it is really cool and opens up already of possibilities for builders

[@wee6096]

The wrench actually has quite a potential! The only thing we need is the block's hitbox to move along with them once interacted with the wrench.

[@donlasagnotelamangia]

Wouldn't it make for an interesting limitation?

[@Shywizz]

but that means that on a wall if you move the "texture" then the hitbox still exists weird constraint, mainly because I guess it's very hard to change hitbox

[@mtnbkr5478]

Programatically, I don't think that would work since chunk loading requires all blocks to have set x,y,z coordinates. And depending on how the mod was written, the game probably wouldn't be able to store the subset x,y,z shift and rotational shift persistently, so I'd bet all that work gets erased when the game resets or the chunk reloads.

[@69bruh]

@@mtnbkr5478 he could change the chunk loading to use floats instead of integers

[@mtnbkr5478]

@@69bruh Assuming that doesn't exceed the chunk storage cap, that gives you 1/10th positions, but what about the rotation? As far as I know, only entities use rotation, and it would have been a waste to leave it in for blocks. But then again, entities only need z rotate, and must have x and/or y for dinnerbone, so I guess it's possible that there's a lot of unused parameters taking up resources... is minecraft just a really crappily programmed game?

I think everyone would enjoy that wrench of only it had a " movement distance " control setting , so u can make a block move faster then just 1 pixel at a time .. maybe like setting it to a 5 so every 5 pixels the block moves and the setting onky applies to one wrench . so u could hold multiple in yiur inventory that all move the blocks at different amounts of pixels to be more efficient , and probobly have a setting to choose which way to move a block so u don't have try try and get weird angles to build it right u can stay where u are .
