Simple block suggestion

Could we get a hybrid block type that looks exactly the same as stone & wood (and the back walling) but has all the properties of bedrock in the way that it cannot be destroyed? I suggest because this would help out map makers tremendously. Currently you cannot build maps out of just wood and stone because bombs and kegs would destroy everything. You could make some pretty sick looking PvP maps using stone and wood as decoration for large structures. The ability to be able to build out of wood and stone that doesn't damage would be a huge boost for the map makers.

Obviously you wouldn't be able to place this block type in game unless you had admin privileges or were designing a map yourself.


If this were to getting implemented, prepare for some sick nasty dual arena maps.

 

I would certainly like this. You can make the maps you're talking about with bedrock, but it'd look pretty ugly :X

 

Yes, indestructible variations would be very nice for mapmaking! Perhaps they could look slightly more gritty(or smooth) to differentiate them from the normal tiles, so a map could have some parts destructible and some parts not without confusing the player.

Or another option, if you don't want to add a bunch of tiles, would be to have it be a gamemode which only allows players to destroy certain things like dirt, plants, perhaps wooden doors/platforms, and noobs. This would allow for indestructible structures, but also allow for the mapmaker to have the player destroy certain tiles for objectives (F.e. Challenge map that requires the player to grab bomb arrows to blow up a dirt wall to get through a castle).

I would suggest modding them in if the devs don't want to add them......however the devs never really gave us the ability to create proper custom tiles......

 

Wouldn't this just be dirt background and bedrock?

 

No, because it'd look awful.

 

Will see variety within maps.

 

I thought of something for this... if someone decides it's absolutely necessary.

Have new blocks defined that start as Stone/Wood block and deteriorate like normal but once destroyed becomes bedrock.

Have new blocks defined that start as Stone/Wood backwall and deteriorate like normal but once destroyed becomes dirt backwall.

Have it so you can place new stone/wood block or backwall over bedrock and dirt backwall at no cost.

Then somehow assign them new color hex values so you can build a map with them (then build the map).

That way they're in essence invincible, but it becomes very clear that you can't break them if you do manage to deal enough damage that it deteriorates the wall.

As for platforms, you may need to make a new "Bedrock Platform" tile so to speak, that just starts invincible. Same for traps, doors, ladders, spikes and whatever else you feel having invincible would make a cool map. Actually afaik most of the stone code, after completed, could just be copied over to mossy stone and backwall as well.

Another method would be to just replace the tiles once destroyed and have a 'magical essence' animation play after the blocks are destroyed which replaces the same block/backwall in the place that was destroyed. I'd recommend having an animation so that it's obvious that the tiles are renewing themselves (again, so you can show that the server is modded). This method is probably even easier... It would be similar though, have new blocks with new hex values that you need to place in maps that simply, on death, play an animation like something popping into existence, and then force reload the same tile in the exact place it was destroyed.
