[REJECTED] Shadowing draw command.

Post by BobKare »

I don't know how this could be doable, but when you're writing info and messages on walls using blocks, like in the example below, all the letters is getting very much clearer and more visible if you shadow them.

What's bad with shadowing? It's almost double as much work.
What I suggest is a /Shadow command, which will automatically shadow all blocks of one specific type.

This might be doable using /Shadow [BlockType] [ShadowBlockType].
What it basically does, is replacing all blocks of the text one block left/down diagonally of all blocks of [BlocksType] in the marked area with [ShadowBlockType], except [BlockType]!

This might be lots of info in few words, and look quite messy, therefor, I've brought an example:

BEFORE

AFTER

Thanks looking into it,

IF! you are going to build this, add shadow distance and shadow direction.

You can already do this by using copy/paste and /replace.

Possible, but the colors will override eachother the wrong way...

Just do it all in the correct order and you won't have a problem. Build creatively.

  1. Build your green text, copy it
  2. Use /Replace to change the color to black
  3. Use "/Paste green" to paste ONLY the green blocks, at an offset, over the shadow.
