could you make some sort of documentation on what each part of the blb format means? i know this exists https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=53716.0 but its very non-descriptive and vague on what each category does what and how the fields correspond to each other

I'm planning on doing something of the sort after I release V3. There's a few things I don't know how to fix in this add-on just yet, such as the top textures rotating with the brick and the side textures not being calculated correctly.
After I figure out how to fix those issues I'll post my findings in a guide.

Non-tessellated side textures should now be mostly accurate. After some tweaks to the algorithm all bricks should be matching.

EDIT: I think I've also nailed down the issue with the top textures being affected by the brick rotation

Update is currently pending approval on Blockland Glass
Changes include

Code: (v2.1.0) [Select]

- Fixed tessellated top textures rotating with brick and being flipped 
- Side textures are now calculated mostly accurately
- Added modes for "Specular" and "Tessellated Specular" to give specular highlights on bricks while ignoring textures

Approved

For version 3 I'm working on adding tessellation to special bricks,
This would be a huge pain in the ass and will probably take a few months if I don't give up.
Also here's some more screenshots
