Hex Blocks by PALKIP

if you find bugs tell me on reddit, comments or dm

known bugs:

Culling not working properly on some blocks: glass, etc..

Placing and breaking sometimes flashes holes

how to use:

In the quick actions [G] you can configure it
choose an atlas, or a player using the name

For color you can write the minecraft chat codes or an hex code
###

Example of minecraft colors:

• red
• dark_red
• blue
• light_purple

I have also added bedrock edition and custom colors:

• brown
• amethyst
• pink

###

Example of hex codes:

• #FF0000
• #00FF00
• #0000FF
• #FF00FF
• #87ebc3

#FFFFFF _or_ white resets the color to the default

Atlases are not too difficult to use

1. first you select the atlas: blocks, items, etc.
2. then based on what you selected you write the sprite, these are textures found in the minecraft jar

For example stone is:
atlas: blocks sprite: block/stone

You can likely just keep using it like this, remember to always write block/ before the texture

You will find that tnt does not exist, this is because tnt has 3 textures, tnt_side, tnt_top, tnt_bottom.
Same for many other blocks such as the crafting table, the crafter alone has 14 textures!

You can extract the Minecraft jar using the terminal:

jar xvf minecraft.jar

The file won’t be named minecraft.jar, just write minecraft and [TAB] to autocomplete.
You need to open the terminal in a folder containing the minecraft.jar to do this

Useful locations:

• assets/minecraft/textures
• the names in here correspond with what you need for atlases
• assets/minecraft/atlases
• here you can take a closer look on your options, what comes before the name of the texture

Useful commands:

• /function hex_blocks:repair
• fixes culling and sometimes performance
• /function hex_blocks:hex_block/inventory/clear
• fills hex blocks inventory with white wool
• /function hex_blocks:hex_block/item/give
• give the player a hex block placer item
• /function hex_blocks:help
• displays in chat a simple tutorial

how the datapack works:
the placer summons 6 text displays and 1 marker, then culling is applied
the marker contains data about the custom hex block, so culling can be undone
right now hex blocks can only use 1 texture for all faces
if you have advanced questions, dm me

if you want to use this code on a custom map, other datapack, or any other project, message me on reddit
