Minecraft: Illegal Block Shapes

As an avid enjoyer of Minecraft a game made of Cubes you’d be surprised to know that at some point in time I had an unusual obsession with various other shapes maybe it’s because Vsauce went over every strictly convex deltahedron or maybe it’s because the Johnson solid Wikipedia article is full of sesquipped

Alien names also the renders here directly inspired my channel icon regardless I became very excited when I realized that fabric API which I used to code my mods supports hard-coded block models this means I now have the power to give blocks any shape I want and oh

Boy did I shape some blocks let me introduce you to the most cursed blocks ever added to Minecraft for a first block just warning you there’s a little bit of alliteration in the name it’s the spruce sphere talk about sprucing up your builds am I right I also made sure

To give it a kind of accurate hitbox although It’s tricky to do that but don’t you worry this is the only alliteration I’ll be doing it’s the pumpkin pyramid isn’t it gorgeous what’s fun about this one is that jumping on it hurts you because disappointed Andy I’m sorry about the alliteration but at

Least there there’s no names that rhyme the bone cone is another spiky block and you’ll never guess what happens when I jump on it oh no I’m taking damage the two of these would make for great teeth blocks if it weren’t for the fact that I forgot to give him upside down variants

Who needs diamond or when this mod has the diamond Taurus yes I did just turn diamonds into a donut and yes you can throw things right through the hole something I’ve neglected to mention is that these blocks are part of my illegal building techniques mod which adds items

Like the wrench and pump which I can use to rotate and inflate blocks and as you’d expect this also applies to the cursed blocks I’ve added this means I can take the diamond Taurus flip it inside out scale it up a bit and now I can enter a really unusual cave I

Can apply the same thing to the spur sphere and turn my sky into Spruce but screw all that this is the skulk screw which I can stack and make a very long screw and it’s honestly pretty mesmerizing to spin around it hey recall the diamond Taurus

Well I refined it into a diamond diamond even though this is not really a diamond it’s an octahedron but we’re gonna pretend that’s not true here’s another hadron the tetrahedron which I made terracotta because Tetra kind of sounds like Terra yes I am losing my grip on

Reality and yes I put the effort in to let you slide up and down this side with an accurate hitbox and no this is not the end of it next up we have a completely normal crafting never mind the UVS on the thing are just slightly rotated except the top but hey

This is a pattern you’ll never see in Minecraft the next one is actually pretty cool it’s the hour comb honeycomb hourglass get it when I stack it it actually makes a pretty interesting pillar shape however none of the puns in these block names go as far as the

Elongated Square jar of by cupola cut copper which despite a straightforward shape has the most insane name of any block I’ve added so far it actually beats the waxed weathered cut copper stairs in terms of name length this gyro elongated Square by cupola has 26 sides

Which is a lot so I decide to add a shape with just one side a Mobius strip dope log if you didn’t know this is actually a shape with one side you can start at the top followed around to the underside then come out back on top and

Now that you’ve seen a shape with one side it’s time for the grand finale a shape with so many sides it lags my game out it’s our favorite fractal the manger sponge when I place it takes the game a few seconds to calculate all the faces

It has to render and look at that it is just beautiful I calculated it and because this isn’t really optimized too well there’s about a hundred and sixty Thousand Faces in one block I can place a bunch of these at once but then it’s very unlikely the chunk will actually reload

It took like 10 seconds but finally they render what I find crazy is that this shape is only four subdivisions steep meaning I only put the shape inside of itself four times in a row and I tried going five subdivisions deep but the game would not run as you’d imagine

Adding all these weird geometric shapes took a whole lot of math but that’s the math that I’m okay with the math that I’m not okay with is how the sub count of my friend doctor act just surpassed mine he wants to be the biggest Minecraft modding YouTuber but watch out

The more he grows the more his massive ego is fueled so do your part and desaturate that subscribe button on my channel for I have no ego I am also very handsome and smart thank you foreign
