Frameless glass

[nevir]

@crypticworlds

Having smaller frames down to almost completely unnoticeable is by far the easiest solution to implement. That sounds more like an art texture thing than a coding issue.

Looks like something that they’ve played around with a fair bit, and sounds like the current texture is a compromise on that point, too

@jesshyland

I tried a bunch of different ways to work around this including some old-school dithering effects, but nothing looked right - fine dithering looked too solid, larger patterns looked artificial and weird, ‘what if the glass is just opaque’ missed the point of glass blocks entirely, et cetera. I couldn’t find a good compromise! I’m still open to rethinking the frame design, but without the frame to tell you something is there, the glass block would just be completely invisible. And the frame needs to be relatively hefty so it doesn’t just get mipmapped out of existence at a distance.

Might be interesting to play more w/ custom mipmaps (thick at a distance, thin up close)?
