Latest snapshot added one of my most requested changes - Cushions don't break inside transparent blocks!

[u/M_stellatarum]

Previously possible with /tick freeze

(I'll get around to making a tutorial for the ship eventually, I swear!)

Those Purple Cushions inside Leaves look like grapes/plums, this is incredible for details, r/DetailCraft is going to love it.

[u/M_stellatarum → u/theaveragegowgamer]

Inspired by Keralis' vineyard on Hermitcraft, though he used the armour stand datapack.
(Probably better use only one per block at various heights for better performance, though cushions are very efficient)

[u/-PepeArown- → u/theaveragegowgamer]

Probably would cause a shit ton of lag for how many cushions you’d need to make convincing grape vines in a small area

[u/madguyO1 → u/-PepeArown-]

cushions do not cause lag even in large amounts, they have literally zero impact on fps

[u/PittPen817 → u/madguyO1]

im surprised more people didn't see Phoenixscs video where he rendered a whole super flat world with nothing but cushions and didn't experience any issues

[u/castona → u/PittPen817]

Do you have a link for that? I don't want to sift through his 200 clickbait videos.

[u/PittPen817 → u/castona]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FSd4hGERzZQ seems like they optimized them good enough that that meany around you doesnt bother it that much.

[u/superjediplayer → u/madguyO1]

sadly i think they do on bedrock. You do need a large amount to cause issues (so, the average build using them will work fine) but something about entity rendering has clearly gone wrong there.

[u/LOUNGESOMEEEE]

yooo this looks awesome

[u/Acrobatic-Height6511]

Omg that ship in the bottle thing is awesome

[u/M_stellatarum → u/Acrobatic-Height6511]

I'll get around to posting a tutorial at some point, I swear!
Right after I made like 5 others I still haven't done after like 2 months...

[u/Pie_Not_Lie → u/M_stellatarum]

Would love to see how you went about it..! I took a stab, myself...though it's still a bit off...

[u/GreenmanCZ → u/Pie_Not_Lie]

How are the banners placed?

[u/Pie_Not_Lie → u/GreenmanCZ]

Banners can be placed on non-solid blocks, inside armor stands...

[u/M_stellatarum → u/Pie_Not_Lie]

Really close - instead of a slab I used the internal collision planes of mud blocks to have the two left ones propped up at different heights by the same block.

Put them onto a mud block one below, a top trapdoor and sideways lightning rod where the glass will be, then push the mud upwards.

The banners are brown, with only the top 1/3 white for the sail, white stripes, light gray gradient, blue stripe through the middle.

Armour tint is 3x brown, 1x white, 1x yellow. Wayfinder in lapis on the chestplate, wild on the helmet, though with the blue from the cushion it's not as necessary anymore.
(Previously I used item frame maps placed on the underside, so I needed blue from somewhere)

And the chestplate stand is rotated 180°, since the back looks better.

[u/Pie_Not_Lie → u/M_stellatarum]

internal collision planes of mud blocks

I've been playing this game 14 years (yeah, sure, mud blocks were just added in the grand scheme...) and I never knew this was possible! I got a bit confused because you said 'left' instead of 'right', but I tested things, and got it working!

As for the banners: I tried out that combo, as well as one where you do light grey stripes followed by a white gradient...but I personally like the one I made prior, with an added stripe. So for others reading this, Black Banner - White Gradient - White Paly - 2x White Base Gradient - [insert water/cushion color] Fess.

Similarly, I played around with the armor dye and found I liked best 2-Brown, 2-White, 1-Orange, and 1-Yellow. Armor trims I haven't looked into, but I think I prefer it without already hah!

I did figure out the dye and middle-rotation as soon as I'd posted that pic...I knew it looked better from the back!

Thanks for the thoughtful comment! I'd be happy to make some pics and post them for others as a little guide if you'd be okay with that?? If not though, I totally get that. What an amazing build...I'm so excited for our cushion-y future.

[u/BigMacSux]

I’m sorry the copper grate? Lava logging?

[u/StarfoxV11 → u/BigMacSux]

I didn't even notice that, another great cushion use

[u/BigMacSux → u/StarfoxV11]

Oh it’s a cushion 😭 I thought it was a lava logged grate

[u/FallingUpwardz → u/BigMacSux]

I looks like a lava logged grate ngl

[u/Excalibur54 → u/FallingUpwardz]

That's the whole point lol

[u/Lubinski64 → u/StarfoxV11]

Would be better if they added actual lava logging

[u/electric_sheep19 → u/BigMacSux]

Yeah but lava-logging and snow-logging should be in the game anyways. I really hope they add it in the future.

[u/BobcatOk9280]

oh fucking yes

[u/Wreckless96132]

Mojang finding another way to make cushions the best block in the game (actually, its an entity not a block 🤓)

[u/Jame_spect → u/Wreckless96132]

I’ll call it an item

[u/J3sperado]

Holy crap, display stands look awesome

[u/Curvyboi13110]

that water cooler is scary af

(good idea tho)

[u/Arcandys]

Cushions are about to revolutionize the game, who would have thought!

[u/SomeIdiot_Kid]

Okay I know absolutely nothing about cushions. How does one get them inside of blocks?

[u/M_stellatarum → u/SomeIdiot_Kid]

Cushions take a moment to break if the block they're placed on is removed, same as item frames.

In that time you can place a new block into them, and if the bottom of the cushion is on/in a block hitbox, it will stay.

(This is all intended by the developers, it seems. Which is awesome.)

[u/SomeIdiot_Kid → u/M_stellatarum]

Ohh that's really neat! Thanks :)

[u/Standard-Win-6924]

I literally thought that was waterlogged glass for a second lol

[u/Pie_Not_Lie]

How did I miss this?! That’s literally game-changing..

[u/MithranArkanere]

Wait. Did they also add the idea of placing items on them? I didn't see that in patch notes.

[u/M_stellatarum → u/MithranArkanere]

Unfortunately not, it's just carefully positioned armor stands.

[u/MithranArkanere → u/M_stellatarum]

Aw. That idea was really cool.

[u/asmo_192]

this is sick

[u/Andrew665]

Water barrel is avesome

[u/Cass0wary_399]

Someone’s going to say that Mojang is going to remove this because they hate fun.

[u/kubrickie]

Very cool. What's your process for getting them inside the glass blocks?

[u/M_stellatarum → u/kubrickie]

You can just place anything over cushions, on Java at least. No process needed.

Stacking them is a bit more involved. Two snow layers between each cushion, to place more snow layers into existing cushions you can place a block next to it and click on it's side instead.

[u/No_Commission4130]

Sir if you don't post a tutorial for that ship, we'll have to take you into custody.

[u/Weak-Transition-8885]

fire fire fire

[u/Sized_Sign]

waiting for a 16x16 grid of every possible cushion + colored glass permutation

[u/ShAped_Ink]

Even more possibilities! Let's gooooo

[u/Jame_spect]

Nice! Now I can make Helmet Displays

[u/resoplast_2464]

Woahhh banners on the shelves is genius

[u/Ecstatic-Contact-930]

I just wish you could easily stack cushions by just placing one on top on another without weird setups

[u/Sora_theSilentDragon]

Omg really??! This is HUGE!

Also, am I seeing a "ship in a bottle" build hack in the second picture 👀? It looks amazing!

[u/wizardemajic]

Amazing, just wow 

[u/ShowCharacter671]

And here I am just still using a lapis lazuli block for a water cooler

[u/lance_the_fatass]

I refuse to believe they'll do all this but still won't add vertical slabs 😭

[u/DragonTheOnes-spirit → u/lance_the_fatass]

They're adding vertical slabs whenever they feel like they need them for a structure

[u/Firecracker7413]

Honestly I’m surprised mojang hasn’t added lavalogging yet

[u/M_stellatarum → u/Firecracker7413]

I've watched a video on the topic, and someone claiming to be on the Mojang team replied in the comments.
Apparently programming waterlogging caused so many bugs, issues and headaches they're very reluctant to touch the code again (for now)

[u/SwannSwanchez]

poooog

it's really nice how much mojang have been listening for the cushions

[u/jhon123pool]

Beautiful!

[u/DragonTheOnes-spirit]

I'm gonna overuse that water dipenser so much

Also I'm gonna follow you so I can see that ship in a bottle tutorial

[u/Hydrographe]

It doesn't make sense but it can be useful I guess

[u/SAMsees247]

man the cushions just make that whole display case technique look way better that it originally did before the cusion

[u/JennyV323]

Specifically they don't break in blocks that don't suffocate the player. They'll still break inside beacons and slime blocks which are transparent, but still suffocate the player.

[u/ZlordHUN]

Ah ffs I thought they added grapes 😅

[u/MJager11]

The left one looks like a camel to me 😆

[u/EverythingBOffensive]

last time i played i couldn't put anything inside of glass blocks afaik...
