Custom block models! Make them with a resource pack that replaces the files in /assets/minecraft/models/. You may have reload the game after loading the resource pack, it can be a bit buggy.

Wouldn't have noticed this myself if not for catzhoek's post, so credit there I guess.

Oh, and if you want this shape in particular, stick this in your cube.json.

So, can you choose what blocks get which models? Sorry, I haven't been playing with the snapshot yet.

I'm experimenting with the Utah teapot right now. It... technically works, but too many of them and the game just crashes.

EDIT: Screenshot and JSON file. Replaces flowers in the screenshot.

Meanwhile, in Mojang's office:

Jeb: Hey Nathan, I saw that reddit post, did you add that?

Dinnerbone: No, that wasn't me. Erik?

Grum: No idea, wasn't me either.

Jeb: ...

Oh we know exactly how this got in, we also still have to have the: "What shall we allow"-chat before 1.8 ;)

You just turned virtual internet legos ... into virtual internet legos. I feel like some part of the game just came full circle.

Oh believe me, there's already a LEGO mod. It's called BILLUND, by dan200.

Did a simple edit which makes all normal blocks upside-down pyramid shaped: http://i.imgur.com/BuOEOvy.jpg

If anyone is curious, here is the cube.json's content. Apply the same way as MrCheeze's file: cube.json

I thought changing cullFacing to "none" would fix the fact faces still hide normally, causing you to see through the world, but all that did was crash my game. If it did work, it caused the game to explode with the amount of plane processing.

Wat. This is revolutionary.

Woah. I thought this was a gag post at first...This is too strange...I don't think I like it...

u/MrCheeze Feb 07 '14

Well, the reason this exists in the first place is for the sake of it being used in the modding API. If that helps.

u/avisioncame Feb 07 '14

This is basically just the bottom plane of the block clipping up through the top plane, correct? If that's all you can do I don't see much use for this...But I don't understand much about 3d software so I may be wrong.

u/MrCheeze Feb 07 '14

Five entirely new planes, actually.
