Interesting. I was under the impression that this was broken in 1.6.x and hadn't worked since.

Don't give up hope yet! There's a possibility I'm wrong about this. Believe me, I'd love to be since I suddenly have a few really good ideas for CTM-ing mod blocks. I'll have to give it a try at some point and see what I find out. Won't be today, though.

I've made a set of full CTM for hardened and stained hardened clay. It makes them look drier towards the edges. I want all types of hardened clay to connect, which I can achieve using connect=material, but this makes it also connect with other types of stone. I tried the following without luck:

#hardclay.properties
blocks=minecraft:hardened_clay minecraft:stained_hardened_clay
method=ctm
tiles=0-47

Is there a way to get all the hardened clay types (stained and not) to connect, but not with anything else?

---

I'm also struggling to get the new block name instead of ID changes working how I want. For example if I try and apply CTM rules to hardened clay I should be able to have a file called anything with the following inside:

#anything.properties
blocks=hardened_clay
method=ctm
tiles=0-47

But this doesn't change the texture so I tried adding 'minecraft:':

#anything.properties
blocks=minecraft:hardened_clay
method=ctm
tiles=0-47

Yet it still didn't work. So I've ended up naming the file hardened_clay.properties which then works, but I was under the impression you didn't have to name the block in the .properties file name. Am I doing something wrong?

Quote from Vattic

Ah cheers. The new wiki confused me as it mentions "blocks=" and "textures=".

---

I suspect it's not currently possible to have both hardened clay and stained clay connected and not with anything else as they have separate block IDs.

---

I hit another problem which I suspect is me missing something obvious again. What is wrong with the following:

#b.properties
matchTiles=minecraft:textures/blocks/bookshelf.png
tiles=0-1
method=random

It does nothing.

If I add a new .properties file bellow it starts working:

#a.properties
matchBlocks=minecraft:bookshelf
method=fixed
faces=sides
tiles=minecraft:textures/blocks/bookshelf.png

Any ideas what's going on here?

matchTiles=bookshelf
tiles=0-1
method=random

Thank you for the help so far kwerti. I have yet another problem.

I have two folders "bookshelf_connect" and "bookshelf_random". The first contains the files to make bookshelves connect horizontally and the second contains the files to make bookshelves have random textures. The idea is that anyone using my pack which likes one of these features, but not the other, can easily delete the folder they don't like. I can't get this working.

The current .properties files.

(There are also .properties files for the left, right, and middle sections)

The above works fine when both folders are included. If you delete the "bookshelf_connect" folder it obviously stops randomising as the second .properties file doesn't target the default texture (it targets "3.png" from "bookshelf_connect").

I tried adding the following that would run after all the others and randomise any remaining default bookshelf textures.

It randomises, but stops the textures from being connected. It's as if "matchTiles=bookshelf" is in fact matching the block if that texture was present originally even if previous rules have changed it. I don't understand why this is happening. I even tried having one .properties file that targets both "3.png" and the default bookshelf texture.

I hope I'm explaining myself well enough.

#bookshelf_random/single/f.properties
matchBlocks=bookshelf
faces=sides
tiles=0-1
method=random

When is 1.8 coming out for this

Quote from BenLaramie

So, having thoroughly searched this site and googled everywhere I can think of and trying to read through some 400+ pages of information and code language I don't understand I just have a question:

Can I use mcpatcher to have the seamless glass I see in so many resource packs with the default 1.7.9 MC? Or do I have to download/make a custom pack just to get that? If so could someone point me to a good tutorial that's actually up to date? Also if this is in the wrong thread please let me know.

I just want my glass to blend together

MCPatcher isn-snip-like that.

Quote from BenLaramie

Okay. Thank you, seriously. That's literally all I've been trying to find out. I hadn't even heard of optifine or "CTM" till I started researching how the glass thing was supposed to work and from what I can tell MCP is the way to go, if only for continued updating. As to the update, it should still work with 1.7.9 right? Or was that too big of an update content wise to hope for compatibility? Thus far I haven't seen any issues but like I said I'm running vanilla right now
