There're some weird quirks with the block physics; sometimes you can fall from really high and not break the glass; likewise you can fly into the glass in creative and not break it. If you move in to the glass while moving slightly on the y axis, you usually break it. Although I deliberately made the required speed slightly faster than normal sprinting. The area where the glass checks for entities is larger than the block itself so you break more than 2 blocks when you smash through. Like I say, they shatter "gratuitously".

OK, thin ice is now available for 1.7.10! Patches of it generate naturally in the world. Their presence, average size and frequency can all be configured.

I didn't make any changes to the glass, so if you don't want the ice, you don't need to update yet. I'm very proud of it though, so it'd be a shame if you didn't give it a try.

Edit 1: A version has also just been released for 1.8.

The Fragile Glass crafting referendum has begun! Please take a few seconds to vote on what you think of the current glass crafting recipe.

Edit 2: If there are any more options you want to see on the two polls, let me know and I'll put them up.

That's totally fine by me! Let me know if you have problems

Ported to 1.8.8 today! Pretty sure everything's in working order; enjoy. I'm going to wait before porting to 1.8.9; they're bringing out new builds pretty quickly right now. And... happy new year!

That's a good point; I'll implement fire and lava in the next versions. Yes; you can break through if you jump into it while sprinting without potions, so if you can move any faster than that, in theory you'll break through.

Whew! OK; I've just shipped the latest versions of Fragile Glass for 1.8, 1.8.8 and 1.8.9. Enjoy! The main changes are a fix to the appearance of Sugar Cauldrons when other blocks are nearby, and the ability to also cook up sugar blocks using fire and still lava blocks.

The first version of FGaTI for 1.9.4 is now available. Changelog:

• Skipping 1.9: using Forge 1.9.4-12.17.0.1921-1.9.4
• Moved sugar blocks to food tab
• Changed patch generation to suit varying water levels and reduce frequency
• Fixed an issue where blocks could only be broken when moving certain directions
• Made glass more fragile: can now be broken by jumping just below it
• Stopped sugar cauldrons going black on one side when blocks are adjacent
• Thin ice no longer stops nearby blocks rendering

The only known issue is that there is no sound, but I believe this is the same with all 1.9.4 mods.

Released a version for 1.10.2 on Friday. It says version 1.8.1 but to be honest all I did was add that banner image to the mod info screen.

Hello to any of you out there who still use this mod and check this thread! Sorry about the lack of updates.

The coming update brings Fragile Glass and Thin Ice to a state which is almost exactly as I envisioned it. That's pretty rare in programming so I'm really happy!

The main feature is an overhaul of the old glass "physics". Not only does fragile glass break ahead of a predicted collision, so that you can fire arrows through it properly or fall through a roof without hurting yourself and slowing down, but it now supports the Capability system, so modders can now easily make their own fragile blocks and entities that can break fragile blocks!

At the point of uploading I realised Forge 1.12.1 just came out, so I've basically put out a beta release for those of you who are still on 1.12 (1.12.1 might not be compatible). You can download it here; please let me know of any bugs you encounter.

Below is a rough list of changes since I last posted on this thread. If you'd rather just go and play the mod, enjoy. And thank you all for over 32000 downloads on Curse!

• Radical overhaul to glass physics system
• Capability support
• Updated credits
• Improved Sugar Cauldron model (added legs)
• Using version 3 of the resources
• Added the LICENSE file!

I just released version 1.12.2-1.8.5; hope you enjoy! This mod updates worldgen; I recommend you delete your ftfragileglass.cfg file and get the new one.

Really big change list for this one; here we go. Ports for versions 1.11.2 and 1.10.2 will come in at least a few days.
