So I've been building and thinking of making a huge cathedral. The problem becomes the stainglass. Just can't happen. Currently it's either plain glass or colored blocks. Neither give a good effect. Sure you can drop a portal in for a purple effect but it would be more appropriate to have several colors of glass. I feel there's currently enough dyes implemented to get started.
To get colored glass, the current furnace (or possibly a new furnace) would have 2 spaces in it. One for the sand and the other for the dye ingredient. Then when it comes out you have a colored glass block.
Not being a programmer myself, I'm not sure if it would be possible to come up with color in a transluscent block but if it's possible, I think it'd be cool.
Ideas that could be made with colored glass blocks:
UFO like the one in close encounters where different colored blocks could be the lights. Combined with redstone circuits and noteblocks..... maybe close the real thing?
Glass dancefloor again maybe someone could get one to light up?
Stained glass windows of course.
Overhead neon signs of a fashion.
Towers could be made from the colored glass and used as "crystal" towers.
Op, I'm sorry but this is typical. Barely registered, starts posting, and does not even read the "Already Suggested Suggestions - Read and Look Before Posting A Thread That Might Have Been Posted Already" thread.
You aren't even using google for that, just ctrl-f. But search relevant terms!
Welcome to Minecraftforum.net! Please be a bit more patient and think through what you post. :wink.gif:
PS. I know it's ironic that a person with barely 10+ posts is lecturing someone else. Where is the justice? >.<
I currently don't use mods and rarely do because I'm lazy and don't feel like dealing with it.
Secondly I hate google and refuse to use it because it sucks, I hate it and view it as the largest recognized and accepted dataminer in the world.
Thirdly, if they want people to search the forums, they shouldn't have taken away the forum search function in the first place and should put it back.
Lastly, these are supposed to be suggestions to help make the game better and of course more profitable. "using a mod" does not IMO do either.
Welcome to the minecraft forums. People can be kind of harsh here.
I like your idea and I think it's one of a million wonderful ideas for the game. We should be able to cook sand into glass, and then "bake" the dyes we have into the glass. It's a great idea. Still, like many ideas it will sit on a shelf and collect dust. Notch has shown he has no intention of cashing in on this multi-million dollar lottery ticket. Here we are, with a new patch today... what do we get? More bugs, more crashes, more bugged items, dogs and poo-brown wool.
I've seen so many mods that bring in so many new/fresh ideas. Sure, we can mod away but the mods break when Notch updates minecraft and then the mods all break and the items created with the mods cause the non-modded game to crash because it doesn't know what to do with the items made by the mods... **takes deep breathe**.
I am enormously bored with the current building materials availabe to me. My city is one that looks "futuristic". Which means... lots of glass. I want more colors of glass. Right now all I can do is place a glass block and then put color wool behind it to make the glass appear as though it's another color (not great, but all I can do on SMP).
Take a look at 2 of the hottest ideas that I've seen:
I'm with you on the glass and I agree, we shouldn't need to bog down our machines with tons of mods that dont' work well together just so we can add to this game what Notch's slow ass should have added months ago. It's like watching someone put a $500,000,000 winning lottery ticket into a junk drawer. What is he waiting for? Is he really that scared?
+1 dye + glass = tinted/colored glass.

Also been suggested before! Use Search. (Via Google.)
Secondly I hate google and refuse to use it because it sucks, I hate it and view it as the largest recognized and accepted dataminer in the world.

Well if you want this get the mod and deal with it!
DUDE. Google is better than the old search function! Easier and better. This is most likely and excuse not to search!
I hope you know they took it out because it was broken. The more you know.
This isn't a great idea. Colored light? Why would this be useful? Make it more colorful? Cool.
You aren't even using google for that, just ctrl-f. But search relevant terms!
