Use shears to craft wool into carpets!

[EstebanLB 183]

First, the temporary shears recipe could be changed to be in line with the other metal tools. With plans and smithing only one ingot of every kind of metal. I scketched some plans that I think resembles the final tool, it could then be combined with a stick(the item has a wooden handle) or not.

Then, you use the crafting grid to create the carpets. Maybe only 4, or 8 like in the pic. Some of the material maybe lost when cutting it so you would end with less volume in total.

They could be like the pressure plates, ocuppying one pixel less on the sides so you can see the floor material below.

BUT they will autoconnect with other carpet blocks so you end up with these:

They look better, don't they?Neat!

On walls:

And finally, on stairs:

But they could also autoconnect on the edge so you don't end up with something like this(I don't know if this is posible since the edge block in this case would be ocuppying an extra space that it's suppossed to be an air block):

I don't know if the stairs thing would be possible at all because when you place a carpet block on the ground, you can't place it on the wall ocuppying the same space, the same way you can't place 2 torches like this:

Some problems can be resolved by making them behave more like ladders, vines and such. But I'm no that experienced in the MC code base to tell that

Note: I did all this changing the texture of stone blocks and chiseling them, also, Photoshop

Awesome Idea, I usually make carpet out of wool when I get enough and this would surely reduce the amount of wool needed. It definitely needs to autocorrect on the edges like you're saying if possible. Always a fan of elaborate decoration. +1

Would love it if this were possible.

[RogueHydra 32]

+1 for this - always wanted this even in vanilla. First nice house I made I wanted a cobble floor with a Persian rug ;D

[Jed1314 420]

Yeah, I'm a big fan. +1

I love the idea of adding more decorative blocks

Good idea bro, here, have some exquisite gems:

(They should add the TFC gems as a smiley, so we can give gems in the same way they give diamonds in the minecraft forum )

+1 on idea +9001 on the gemstone smiley idea

[Jed1314 420]

+1 on idea +9001 on the gemstone smiley idea

Agree'd, I doubt it would be hard to implement, and it would be a nice little addition to the forum

Guy, why don't you make a wee post about it ? I'd +1 it

[Just_Another_Guy_:) 1,066]

Already made :3

[EternalUndeath 1,208]

Perhaps Eloraam could be convinced to offer a few tips and tricks on how she did the microblocks in redpower?

[dunkleosteus 2,425]

It would probably be a lot more difficult to do than just use shears, but yeah, it could happen

[Bioxx 796]

I like it. Pretty easy to add with the partial block code. I'll get around to adding it when i get a chance.

[EstebanLB 183]

Cool!

[EdVAard 0]

Awesome, I'd use it all over the place.

[Just_Another_Guy_:) 1,066]

Great, my house's walls will not be just plain wood anymore :3

[EternalUndeath 1,208]

Confirmed! Wewt! <3

[Scooterdanny 285]

Wait... carpeted walls? whoa.... i need to do that.

[Just_Another_Guy_:) 1,066]

Wait... carpeted walls? whoa.... i need to do that.

If you look at the OP, one of his examples was in fact a carpeted wall... that's why i had the idea.

Also, it's pretty lame to make a two-blocks wall just for having wool on the inside and wood on the outside.

[Jed1314 420]

Thats it, I'm going to build an entirely (wall, floor and maybe roof) carpeted room for bachelor Steve. It will be tasteless and garish. Everything a young mans house should be

[antimattergizmo 41]

Glad to see a topic that didn't descend into the weird and unusual (the sluice change topic er mer gerhd)

I always want to have a nice fine wool texture (btw a retexture for more believable wool would be tops) on my floor, but it didn't meld with the walls and seemed a bit too much a fire hazard.

Edit: I use parenthesis way too much much (new years resolution.....danget!) <- no need to be self-conscious (I do it too)

Lol all the forum OPs can

Dunk, Bioxx, Spans...

...I'm sure Dunk will edit this with anyone I forgot lol

Dunk: Crysyn

Hydra: Hydra too (apparently) (which also overwrote the "edited by" from Dunk)

OP here: Case in point.

I feel I'd rather be down on my self than a blow hard, but still on with carpets. What about fur covering? Would love to warm up to the fire on a nice ocelot Persian cat rug I hunted down and killed that day after a hunting expedition to the depths of the jungle in search of new medicinal herb- ok that's another topic for another day. And before this is brought up these will, of course, be squares of a fur, as I wouldn't want to impose the burden of multiblock single click placement.

[dunkleosteus 2,425]

hey while we're at it, let's bring in some stuff from the Additional Chisel Functions thread.

Let's add in weaving. Useful for making bolts of cloth and making patterns in carpets or tapestries.

(if you haven't seen the other thread, check it out)

Doctor Livingstone, I presume?
