How exactly could you improve what we have now any more than it already is?
Pixel shader couldn't be put into blockland, and shadows can't be casted on bricks because they aren't part of the map.

You can see light from far away, it just depends on how many lights there are; seven is the max amount of lights Blockland can render.
edit: whoops double post :o

Bricks are part of a map as much as players are
Greek2me:
And I'm saying that we could use some dynamic lighting for bricks.
But back on topic, the update GUI looks amazing!

Bricks and players are different then the map is. Shadows can only be rendered on the map itself, not bricks or players, for that reason. Screenshots take a bit to render because of it.
