This might not be specifically relevant to THIS thread… but I’m curious.

Can modding be done to add more GUI shortcuts? Like, let’s say I wanted someone to create a mod where, if you are holding a stack of items over an empty slot, you can right-click and it will drop a single item at a time. Is that possible? Or would that only be possible with a real update from the devs?

I’ve wanted a smoother GUI for so long, and I think there’s so much room for improvement. Specifically for inventory management. Minecraft (and by further extension, modded Minecraft) has some sweet keyboard shortcuts that incredibly improves inventory management.

Edit: I talk about some of them in this thread. If it’s possible to mod, would someone potentially do it?

Sweet, now we just need public portals locations (Source/Destination )and then people can start making a navigation finder…

For the maps.playboundless.com site, how are you constructing the polygon box that renders the “beacon boundaries”? Is there some type of algorithm that can easily create a polygon from a list of bounding boxes/vertices or something?

I have the individual plot rectangles being rendered, but that is horribly inefficient (and on this world lags the browser like crazy, I am getting like 2-3 FPS trying to scroll the map) and I need to combine all of the rectangles into a single polygon to render

Nothing smart.

          compactness_key = ["compactness", "faceCompactness"][compactness_index];
          compactness_value = c[compactness_index];
          Object.values(beacon_stats).forEach(beacon => {
              var plots = beacon["columns"];
              if (beacon[compactness_key] < compactness_value) {
                  ctx.fillStyle = "orange";
                  uncompact_count += 1;
              } else {
                  ctx.fillStyle = "navy";
              }
              for (var i = 0; i < plots.length; i += 2) {
                  var y = plots[i] * 8;
                  var x = plots[i+1] * 8;
                  ctx.fillRect(x, y, 8, 8);
              }
          });
          var selected = function(label, i, c) {
              return ((i === compactness_index) ? "&lt;&gt; " : " ") + label + "=" + c;
          }
          beacons_span.innerHTML =
              " &middot; beacons b" +

I got something smarter working and seem pretty great so far.

Basically the Turf.js let you union together 2 or more polygons. So I am creating the squares polygons from the plot boundaries, merging them together and then rendering them as a single polygon. It is neat because if you zoom in, I can still dynamically hide/show the individual plot boundaries.
