Very nice. I would like to see some more blocks implemented into the game that would allow the ability to make a realistic city. i would spend hours building a huge city, then put survival on hard and act like i'm playing in a zombocalypse type game.
Might be a bit difficult unless you add no torches or lights since monsters don't spawn in the light :biggrin.gif:

True, and to tell you I didn't think of that. But, if he would implement light emitting from handheld torches, we might have something going.

There are sooooooo many different topics on that kind of thing, please dont convert this one into something like that. Lets get back OT.

lol Xuro, i dont think your joke made it past the first 'i dont understand'

All right, this is what i interpret this idea to be;
A toggle that switches the grate from open, to closed, when powered with red stone. Here is a diagram:
:Indigo:=Water
:Red:=Powered Redstone
Un-Powered Redstone
:stair:=Closed Mode
:_:=Open Mode
[]=Anything Else Above Water and Grate Level(Ground, stone, etc.)
:Glass:=Anything Else at, or Below Water and Grate Level
THIS IS FROM THE TOP DOWN!

Don't worry I know your just kidding, I was a bit confused as to wether or not the others were though... Feel free to use the diagram, it was just a 30 second thing.

If he doesn't understand, I don't understand, since I understand, and don't know how you misunderstood him.
And if I don't understand, then you don't understand, he doesn't understand, but I understand, and you understand.

Clay would be used in crafting
Liquids (water and lava) and items can pass through them.
- like dropped items, or blocks in item form.
The player, mobs, and falling blocks cannot pass through them.
- falling blocks being sand, gravel, etc.
Edit: Shouldn't be a block mobs can see through, for the sake of not getting shot at by Skelies.
Electrk brought up the concept with the crafting, and Xuro helped with flushing it out to its current state ^^
I've been wondering about this, clay... first off, I've never seen or obtained clay, so it seems to me a lot rarer than Iron, as I've posted Iron being ridiculously common if your trying. having the 2 would make the construction of grates easier as there are more than 1 option, and would also allow greater aesthetic design.
I glanced over the creation boards, but what was your idea on clay grates? same as iron bars, but clay bars instead? (just curious)
second point: I don't think making a 'translucent' block opaque to mobs would be logical. I totally understand you not wanting to get shot and all, but if arrows the items can go through, and blocks the items can go through, then surely a flying small cylindrical object should surely be able to pass through yes? This would also allow YOU to shoot at creepers, spiders, zombies, ghasts, zombie pigmen, farm animals and the rest being safe (I dont see how flying fireballs are small enough to go through grates from Ghasts imo) in a safe and secure fashion.
Also, Falling blocks are not solid persay, I think sand and gravel should break apart when they fall "THROUGH" a grate just like they break down when they fall on a torch. If you drop a bag of sand or gravel onto a grate and the bag tears, you're gonna lose some of your gravel and sand. (This could be implemented with the exception that there needs to be a space under the grate for it to work, unlike torches which disentegrates sand and gravel if they fall on it.) This shouldn't be a problem, seeing as how sand or gravel normally falling on it (this is improbable anyway) would only block the water from flowing through the grates, there would be no flooding or anything dangerous, only water would not pass by anymore. so why not?
Hooray for credits! :biggrin.gif:

I like making walls of Text.
You have now been Officially been warned!
First off, I like the idea. My interpretation of this is:
A grate is a half block that allows liquids/items to flow through from the top-down, not side-to-side (although that is probably the opposite how you wanted it, Minecraft logic brought me to that conclusion). Crafting 2 grates would make a grate block, which allows water to flow through all directions. Adding a redstone circuit to the mix would open or close the grate. The primary use is with iron, but you can also use clay.
My input:
There should be a difference between using ceramic and iron grates. I was thinking iron could work with redstone, and ceramic grates... can be cheaper to make (the crafting output is double the amount half-grates or something). I don't really see how electricity can affect ceramic (but then again, it works with wood doors). That way everyone is happy (the less cost-effective but innovative iron grate, and the less creative but cheap ceramic).
And just to clarify, do you use clay or clay bricks (clay+furnace)?
I need grate blocks now!!!!
yeah, grates are something i had been thinking about for a long time too

seems logical, captain

The idea of grates is very interesting! But how about wooden grates? It would be a cheap, but makes for an effective way to make grates early on (kind of). But they wouldn't be able to survive fires and lava (of course). So they're not as hard to make as ceramic grates (clay is a pain to find) or costly as iron (precioussss).
Also, it would be interesting if the grates could be horizontal or vertical. So you might have a grate in the ceiling/floor or the wall? I can't help but think it would be better if the grate was like the half-slab but in the middle instead of the top.

I like the grate being a top of the block thing, taking only about 2 pixels (as for collision detection from underneith, the block would still be empty (ie, you can fit in it) but it would act like a solid block is above you.
as for grates on the walls, you can use a full grate block for that, cant you?
But for aesthetics, one may not WANT to use a full block in their walls.
And as for the magic reddy:
Want it basic?
Don't wire it up, leave it as it is. Fluids flow through, you build epic platforms halfway through a waterfall, to take a nice shower, or you make a cool-ass bridge across lava that doesn't impede flow. Much easier to use your farm, because you don't have to mess with floating slabs. You win.
Wire it up. Off state become closed, on becomes open. Variable dams, death traps, all that shiz. Create drydocks for your ships. Make a semi-automated obsidian factory, easier to clean up after yosefl. You win.
Everyone wins. Except for the poor mobs you trap with your mad skillz, you creul redstoner, may you get redstoned to death.
This guy has awesome explaining skills.
