You've obviously put a lot of effort into this and seems like a fantastic idea. Mojang should add this in coming updates!

Maybe instead of dying sand you craft the coloured glass. Eg,

No, as galactic muffin already stated several times, read the OP. Adding such crafting recipe would be weird and un-realistic, but a crafted colored-light-emitting-block is still needed, because of the space that colored glass + glowstone fills up. Perhaps make colored glass craftable with redstonelamps? this would make much more sense as you are replacing the glass on the lamp with colored glass, and it would result in a much more manageable light-emitting block for lamps and such, while the light-effect of colored glass co-exists as an alternative way to create light-related effects.

Oh no wait, just after glancing through the previous page I realize that someone already posted this suggestion... but anyways! XD

Block story has them, here is a picture of a mine:


Here is a picture of some floating islands at night, on top of which a city was built.


Another part of that city:

Is block story really that good?

Is block story really that good?

In the interest of being fully transparent: I am 1 of the 2 developers of it.
Those screenshots are real, they were made by fans not me, with the built in camera which takes hi-res pictures. If you have block story full, you can even download that city and play it.

We make it as good as we possibly can, and update all the time (we have updated 23 times in the last 3 months).
If you have an android phone, you can try it for free if you get the lite version, and judge for yourself.

Your question is quite flattering.

I think the idea of colored glass is great, it would be awesome for both games.

This is awesome, you can make nice light effects.
Or maybe a mosaic?

Great idea! If they never put it in, you could always make it a mod!

Just so you know, you have my FULL SUPPORT for this (need a coder, by chance?)!

Quote from Kirssar

LOL, AWESOME! can anyone do a mod about this? please!

I can try... I might not get far though XP (The blocks themselves are easy, but the light is a bit messy).

I really like this idea, but I'm not sold on it with the current setup of light. Mojang are allegedly working on completely reworking the lighting engine, and I would be very pleased if a rework of the lighting engine would allow for something like this.

This is ingenious. You need to make sure they put this in the game. I hope your idea works. I really would like this to succeed!

I applaud you, this NEEDS to be in the game. Stay cool OP.

Well this idea is INCREDIBLE except this probabally is not getting in the game. Theres many reasons why i think this wont get in the game. The first reason is because i have seen many other posts like this that get so many views and basically everyone votes yes but they dont get in the game. The second reason why this probabally is not going to get in the game is because this may cause lag and Mojang will have to make so many new blocks for all the colours to get in the game! Now im not saying that i disagree but its probabally not gonna be put in the game.

I take it you didn't read the whole topic, particularly:

"I don't like colored sand because it would add too many new blocks to MC":

and

"It would cause lag":

lol thank you, RebelKeith

Thanks for commenting here! You guys have an amazing game engine. What you've been able to pull off on android in terms of features and scale is truly unbelievable. I actually want Mojang to license your engine. And I really want your game on PC full-time, touch screens are nice but I'm a mouse guy.

Oh wow, how did I miss this comment?? o-O That's great! I am a developer myself; we have a team of 8 developing for Xbox live, android and windows phones. But don't worry, we are far from competitors since our games are completely opposite from each other. But we are similar in the fact that both of our games are heavily inspired from another... except we both build a better game.

I respect what you guys are doing; a true indie innovating on a successful idea and providing some real competition in the market.
Will your game be for Windows phone at all? I would love to support you guys

I am a supporter of colored GLASS!

support! It would be beautiful!

Thank you for your kind words. Recently unity announced that they will support windows phone. The day they release it, we will start working on porting our game.

PC version is coming in the near future. We just submitted to apple store and I am working on getting it working on pc. As far as licensing, I would be open to it, but I cannot imagine Mojang going for it since they have already invested quite some time on MPE.

Sounds good

Is Blockstory your guys' first title?

Yes it is. I did not even know what a shader was when I started it.

Yeah, redstone torches give of kind of red light
