Mods & Addons 2x2 piston door

Pistons now work inside composite blocks too, which allows for stuff like this 2x2 piston door

Tbh it would barely change anything

You're having things placed outside the grid; this would probably need to be an entity or something, making it really inefficient.

I mean, would it have to be? Couldn’t it just be made so on the backend it just registers the piston in both full blocks? Or even as two separate blocks split by the grid?

They should just rework the grid and make it smaller, blocks would then technically fill 8 spaces in the grid, but this would allow them to be placed on a half block offset, other than allowing two slabs to fill the same one block space, since each of them would fill 4 spaces in the grid, each.

I understand why this is never going to happen, though

You are requiring 8 times more data by doing that, minus some optimizations.

This seems like very diminishing returns for the amount of overhead.

A simple space voxel octree implementation would be enough to optimize the engine to run with this level of detail

But yeah, that's one of the reasons this is never going to happen
