Scale command

Post by Ollieboy »

I would like to see something such as scale. For example, you copy something, and then go /scale to show the dimensions of the copy, then /scale new or something, specifying new dimensions.

It will obviously break things when you scale from massive to tiny and vice versa, but it would be good if you were say, off by 3 in all directions. I've never seen it in Minecraft though, so I don't know how possible it is..

Uh, oh. This would require some complex measuring.
Easiest way to do this kinda thing would be to double everything... Or should I say octuple (that's x8)... Basicly making every 1x1x1 block a 2x2x2 block. Would make some bigass buildings. Productive usage would be pretty low tough.

Fair enough, just speculation.

Scaling UP by integer amounts (2x, 3x, 4x, etc) is very easy. Scaling each axis independently is not hard either.

But scaling DOWN by any amount is very tricky, mathematically. I will either have to take every-other block, or try doing some sort of weird "antialiasing". Which sounds like a pain in the ass.

I asked if there was a way to scale a build earlier this week in staff chat. I would love a command like this. I do recommend inputting this command. I say when down-scaling, just go by twos. This would be a very useful command.
