Actually the glass pane thread might be worth a look again.

majorvex · 2019-08-14T21:25:34.883Z

We might need a whole new type of block for that. I think they mentioned it would require too much data being stored into one block. Maybe they could make a special transparent gleam or go with the window pane idea?

special transparent gleam

That sounds awesome lol

(pane is cool too)

And seamless where blocks/panes connect. If there is one Thing i allways have in my MC texture packs then it is seamless glass. I wish we had it here aswell.

It always puzzled me how “dark” glass is chisel-able, but regular glass isn’t.

RISCX · 2019-08-15T14:15:14.662Z

@jaimepoutine Well dark glass seems to be different rules to its own, purty much obsidian.

I recall hearding that the way current glass render transparently is the issue for being able to chisel. I would say that Yes more glass transparently options would be awesome for chisal and coloring? I know other games has this feature. I am sure that boundless devolopers could come up with a clever way to get more glass options to work better. perhaps in the future we will see. depends on what they are working on currently for features.

I have a feeling with the recent update in reserved plots around settlements may push for private planets soon then later.

Seems like people forgot about this post.

Glass Panes Suggestions

We could implement a glass system similar to the modular signs. So instead of using gleam signs for windows you could use some new glass panel designs. What designs would we want for these modular glass windows? Additionally - would anyone be interested in a new chiselable glass block where the design is the same as the current glass block but with an additional border crossing the faces so that the block remains visible when chiselled? (So think the current glass block, with a plus pattern “+…

Yes yes new glass features should be a next thing be implemented, right after adding a few more feature options the reserved plot system.

And they have posted designs for the new glass system

Ah, another beautiful Boundless day… I’m heading out to check on my newest build. Got some cool new stuff I’ve been working on. There it is, on top of that hill! [image] I’m not a very good builder, but I think you might like this one. [image] The front’s a bit haphazard; I’m not very good at picking a theme and sticking to it. [image] This side, I tried to keep it plain. Strong lines and no fussy detail, pretty cool and modern. [image] The back is more stylish! I picked a more old-f…

Yes but this was about the chisel part James mentioned in the post I linked.

Here the reason behind why glass isn’t chiselable…

Just a couple little things I've been working on

is there a plan to make regular glass blocks chisel-able or will those stay solid for the time being?

At the moment, nope! The reasoning behind normal glass not being chiselable(you can make some real odd and downright broken-looking shapes because of the lack of texture in the middle of the block and it could be confusing to interact with) still stands and I don’t currently have plans to change that block design.

FireAngelDth · 2019-08-15T18:25:31.298Z

Which is weird when

Glass Panes

Additionally - would anyone be interested in a new chiselable glass block where the design is the same as the current glass block but with an additional border crossing the faces so that the block remains visible when chiselled? (So think the current glass block, with a plus pattern “+” across each face.) It would mainly be for chiselling glass sculptures.

Lord-Proteus · 2019-08-15T18:40:22.406Z

That’s interesting! So basically solve the chiseling issue by adding a texture aka the border. You would be giving up on clearity. I would be happy with this as long as we keep the current glass block. I wonder if it would look something like this but each edges would have a border texture?

Transparent gleam sounds interesting. I like the sound of that.

fyreblade79 · 2019-08-22T20:58:32.863Z

Yes, I forgot. Lol. I really like the sound of transparent gleam by @majorvex . Another interesting way that gleam could be used. Modules look great, but hefty crafting. If we could chisel gleam in to a pane of gleam, that would be pretty cool.
