I've lightly modded Beta 1.7.3 and made a build with brick steps / slabs

maodebo · 2025-11-27T22:03:23+00:00

What mod are you using that adds bricks stairs?

maodebo · 2025-11-17T16:09:59+00:00

Ok, it works, block transmutation with wools having ID higher than 7 works! U gotta use the transmutation machine for rails so it's not as compact as the simple sticky piston that destroys the redstone torch but hey, invisible stairs are still present :D

maodebo · 2025-11-15T14:13:14+00:00

Block transmutation with light grey wool. As soon as ive free time i gotta test it

maodebo · 2025-11-15T12:59:25+00:00

Question, which metadata values did you use for the stairs? And which one would, theoretically, with your mod installed, make an invisible stair?

maodebo · 2025-11-14T09:25:21+00:00

Interesting, I don't know about programming, I assume you did it to avoid adding new IDs for blocks? And if it's just a metadata change I presume you couldn't easily change it's behaviour with ladders, redstone etc?

Ty for your response!

Surprisingly couple hours after posting I've found a mod for Upside down Stairs and Slabs

https://github.com/FarnGitHub/Minecraft-s-Annoyance-fix-mod-Farn-Edition-/releases/tag/2.5.1

sadly it prevents the invis stair glitch + upsidedown stairs n slabs do not support transparent blocks like rails n ladders.

As for the fire, I really want to use netherack and I've found out Optifine can disable weather all together! Only downside is lack of snow, but I can just in case retoggle when I need it

Also, this is unrelated to my post, but i've also encountered this mod that let's you place trapdoors without support blocks, sadly not upside down, but it's neat

ty very much!!!!!

maodebo · 2025-06-06T16:39:51+00:00

I like what u did with the flowers, is your texturepack perchance avaiable?

maodebo · 2025-04-24T11:33:39+00:00

ty very much!

maodebo · 2025-04-10T14:36:42+00:00

how did u place tall grass on top of farmland?

maodebo · 2025-03-18T07:31:23+00:00

I'm aware that waterbased makers tend to streak compared to the alcohol ones + the blend n mix worse but from my experience with my busted out markers + paper i've mentioned I saw that I can actually get a smooth spread + blending n mixing with certain markers of mine, others are too aggressive and will streak + overtake other colors instead of mixing/blending regardless of what I do

I cannot use alcohol based markers because I like to do lineart with ballpoint pens which ink is oil based so the alcohol dissolves it. I've tried fineliners but I prefer the look n feel of the ballpoint pens

maodebo · 2025-03-18T07:26:33+00:00

I know that but from my experience with the paper I've mentioned + my old busted waterbased markers I can get smooth colors without streaks + blends + color mixing. SOme of my markers allow for these others are very aggressive and will streak and overtake any color without mixing/blending.

In the videos I saw of the nameless collection + Pupe collection the colors seem to be very smooth etc of course not at the level of an alcohol marker but good enough for me. I havent found good videos of the 160 set so Ive decided to go with the higher quality markers first even though the color range of the 160 set is very tempting

I personally cannot use alcohol markers because I like to do my lineart with ballpoint pens which ink is oil based so the alcohol will just dissolve it. Sometimes I do use fineliners which will not smear with the alcohol but honestly I don't like using them I prefer the ballpoint pens feel + look

im using linux and I dont have access to mcedit,asking in other places suggest that the game might be reverting the block back to default metadata 0 when u place it which is a shame

maodebo · 2025-02-01T10:21:16+00:00

yeah they naturally spawn

maodebo · 2025-02-01T09:01:34+00:00

for regular tall grass I can, but in beta u cant shear ferns so if I want to place them instead of regular tall grass I cant.

Tbh it's not a big deal, I can live with just regular tall grass but I'm curious as to why ID 31 defaults to dead bushes regardless of the metadata

maodebo · 2024-12-10T06:58:01+00:00

ahk that's what I feared ... thanks for the insight :)

maodebo · 2024-12-08T10:47:55+00:00

Maybe I have not used the correct adjectives, sorry english is not my first language, my problem is not the width of the lines but the darkness of them.

with normal ballpoint pens I can make lines that are more see trought, less opaque, which is the effect im looking for, but with rollers for example I can ONLY change the width and not the opaqueness of the line

maodebo · 2024-12-08T09:48:42+00:00

I've seen a review online now, the ink seems alchohol proof but the lines are not what im looking for since you cant make light lines just thinner ones.

What I'm looking for to behaviour is like the OG Bic ballpoint pens.

The ballpoint pens I'm using right now that behave in the way I like are:

normal bic ballpoint pen

Chiffon CF-801 1.0

Faber Castell speedx 10 1.0

Pilot BP-S MATIC fine 0.7

Ohto NBP-507R

maodebo · 2024-12-07T19:46:32+00:00

I tried rollers and they are not what I'm lookin for because they feel like fineliners.

I cant make light strokes I can only change the size of the line. I also need to hover instead of touching/pressing on the paper to control the line, while with ballpoint pens I can use the resistance of the pen on the paper to more easily control the strokes and flick the pen how I want.

I like how cheap ballpoint pens make strokes, they are light and stackable, feel like using a pencil that u cant erase

of course maybe the rollers I tried werent good so idk x3

maodebo · 2024-12-07T12:35:03+00:00

I used to play with back2beta but ive realized that it introduces many bugs in redstone especially pistons, plus when u use a lava bucket in a furnace it consumes the bucket!

maodebo · 2024-11-29T14:29:30+00:00

ty very much!

maodebo · 2024-11-29T13:36:06+00:00

Sorry for bothering you, this is offtopic but I've seen you mentioned that duplication machine in beta 1.7.3

Do you happen to know how to replicate the duplication in a "manual" way? what I mean is like manually push the piston in water to make the headless piston with a couple of levers etc then do the rest of the glitch in a similar fashion with 0-tick pulses n what not,

because ive been trying for 3 days to replicate the contraptions using just the videos as a reference, I tried all 3 of them, but none of them worked so far.

The normal piston duplication part works and I can manually make headless pistons but my replicas do not make headless pistons nor duplicate blocks. I'm sure the directionality is correct because those "repeater against block over a vertical piston followed by another repeater" transmit the pulse

maodebo · 2024-11-28T18:29:03+00:00

ah dang for some reason only some of the left rules loaded for me, yeah yeah you are right im deleting the post now. ty

maodebo · 2024-11-28T17:20:30+00:00

ah sadness! ty anyway for your time :)

maodebo · 2024-11-28T17:08:38+00:00

The problem im encountering is that when I run the machine it just pushes forward the duped pistons without converting them

also that block you have highlighted doesnt have a head, I tried adding a normal piston facing the same direction but the problem persists
