↑that's an idea that's been on my brain forever but i never really did anything about it because, scripting aside for once, it'd be kind of a pain for a builder to implement on all their bricks. a better way of going about it is a GUI or RTB to select a colour(s) from the server's colourset to determine what “material” a brick is. i do not know the actual feasibility of such a system, but to me it sounds like a much better way of going about things.
That actually sounds nice.
But the thing is, if you use a grey, is it metal or rock? If it's brown, is it wood or dirt? Blockland has these simplicity issues where a material is decided by color. Otherwise, nice idea.
Though you could just use one color for all metal, rock, dirt, wood, grass, sand, shallow water. Derp.
