no. this is the worst idea ever. simple logic for how this would be done:
- plant brick
- get pos of each stud
- check array
- get heighest brick
- if higher, convert color
- store color and height
- send client x y r g b.

I saw your PM. Will you be online this evening? I have to go clear snow; we have a truck coming in soon and it's snowing like crazy.

probably

if it were truly a replica of the MC mod, then it wouldn't be modifying the view at all
it would be creating a topdown image of pixels, each one representing a stud

so this should be doable, even if you have to do something silly like save the build somehow through a script (or get rendered bricks) and convert them to a small image which is then rendered with a triangle/player marker in the center

I remember the old speedometer mod looped through all the bricks, so this should be possible without the saving (bricks was unintentional, it was looking for players in all the datablocks)
Actually, your right. That's what I was looking for.

Why don't you make something LIKE that, but it has a keybind for the map to appear in a corner. I like the idea, but no GUI.

The bricks could be a bit smaller.

I'd guess that it is scaled based on the size of the map or that you can scale it yourself.

imo, you should make it like this


this would allow you to make it much smaller and not really block the player's view so much. you could also show the players location.

You can't move the camera.
Oh my loving god. Stop posting. All you do is try to shoot down ideas. Every loving topic I see you in, you're just negative about every damn thing. And 9/10 times you're completely wrong about what comes out of your loving mouth. God

The dictionary definition of Zeblote has now been updated to this

It would be great if it could be scaled based on the size of the map, just to fit everything, but also have zoom features.
