Hi i would like to add custom receipies and custom block like fence which the model already exist and use other texture like quartz or sandstone without the need of spout or mod for client.
Zonta Bukkit can not achieve this. You can't make new blocks / items in Minecraft unless you modify the Minecraft.jar
But i found something this morning about a guy was able to edit the server without modding the client to make new block with existing texture
It's not possible to create blocks through the Bukkit API. You can rename blocks with name meta but you can't create new blocks.
What if i mod the server to take fence give them meta data :1 for spruce wood and take the existing texture does client need a mod for that?
Well in that case, you'll need to have your server install a texture pack. Note: That isn't always convenient for players.
Well we found a texture pack that 90% of the player love (we are 50 active player) so it won't be a huge problem but i can always help player to modify their texture pack so they can see the fence
So now we came to my first question... How do i do that? Can i so a plugin with a addons to blocks.java?
