For the love of Schema give us glass outlines in Build Mode

[Blakpik]

-- THE PROBLEM --

In build mode using glass is nigh-on impossible, due to glasses inherent transparency it is hard to tell what side the glass wedge you are holding is facing, or if it is even a wedge, it may be a tetra, a penta or a block, You won't know until you place it and even then you will most likely have to pan around the block to see it properly, all just to judge what way a block is facing.

-- HOW DO I SUGGEST WE* FIX THIS? --
I suggest that in, build mode, glass have a high contrast outline to make it more easy to see what the glass shape you have is, this should also apply to block preview.

Thank you for your attention.

*By "WE" I mean "YOU" :P.

 

[Mariux]

Yes. This is a real pain to me, though I'm sure they are aware of this and will fix it.

 

[Master1398]

While i have to agree that we need a way to toggle the transparency of blocks i think that F12 is already pretty good for that

 

[ToyotaSupra]

Absolutely YES, they need icons as well cause I can't see s* son! I can only tell the difference between glass and crystal when I hover over the icon.

Woah, what does F12 do?

I looked after you said this

 

[Majorfatboy]

It's a thing. You can still get them new, too. Just look for "PC 122" keyboard.

 

[Ithirahad]

...You can also usually map extra buttons on gaming mice to 'keys' F13-F24. My glowy Corsair mouse definitely can.

 

[Creeper__God]

We really need this but until then I suggest using blue hull where you would normaly use glass and then when you have a shape that you like use the replace tool to change it to glass.

Warsong that message gave my phone cancer.

How does the replace tool even work? I haven't managed to figure it out.

 

[Creeper__God]

How does the replace tool even work? I haven't managed to figure it out.

1. In advanced build mode find the filter button, It's something like "Pick filter".
2. Click it and you will get a menu. In that menu click check the "replace with active slot" box and then in the drop down find the block that you want to get rid of. There is a search thing so that you don't have to scroll through the drop down to find what you are looking for. Now click "OK"
3. You will now only be able to remove the block that you selected in the drop down until you unselect the filter. If you check the "replace with active slot" box in the menu, instead of leaving an empty space where the block that you removed was, it will place a what ever block you have selected in your hotbar.

Hope this helps

And look at the modern keyboard, we still have page break, something not used since the early 80's.

I always use them, why don't you acknowledge me ;(
