Fun with slopes

Note:

Since this isn't on the MCAddicts server, I didn't post in the main forums. I'm also not trying to plug my own server since it's not public. I use it because SSP feels very limited in many aspects. So consider this a post relating to SSP pretty much.

I know we can't have slopes here because it's a mod,(and also it's a pain in the butt to configure bukkit to work with itemcraft (which isn't neccessarily a plugin itself, but a container and it has to be run before Bukkit initializes) and modified entities plus having to install client mods matching those on the server.

BUT, regardless, I was dinking around on my home Bukkit server (running off my dinky laptop) and started messing around with slopes. Decidedly sandstone is my favorite block next to wood. So somehow I came up with a relatively eastern aesthetic:

I believe it has some potential to create some damn nice greenhouses, or some elegant connecting structures.


Just thought I'd share that.

Pretty sick looking, really stands out.

Doubt notch would add blocks like that because it breaks the aesthetic but it looks awesome none the less.

Well, they technically *are* still cubes, they just don't appear that way. And it's better than rounded corners.

It doesn't play well with WorldEdit though, as they all turn into ceiling stairs.

Agreed. And thank you!

This is what minecraft should've been. why does it have to be cubes only?

It doesn't, and I remember researching a lot about slopes a few months ago and I think he expressed interest in it but hadn't found it a priority.
