Pottery: Static Positioning

[Hyena Grin 92]

Being able to place pottery on the ground like mini chests is great, I love it. But the fact that they spin brings up way too many memories of oldschool video games where objects would spin around on the ground to get your attention.How about placing them like signs, so they always orient to face an approximate angle toward the player?

 

I'd like to be able to have shelves of pottery that aren't spinning. It's a minor cosmetic thing, but it'd make me happy.

 

(Could probably preserve the spinning mechanic by making shift-placing the object spin, if people appreciate the eye-catching nature of spinning pottery)

I agree completely..... the spinning seems unnecessary and peculiar.

Actually, in Fast graphics mode, it already does this. If you have optifine, you can set the vanilla setting to fast and individually toggle all the vanilla details to fancy, leaving pottery in fast since there's no option to tell it otherwise.

And what about making clay vessels into mini-chests. With their own 3D model and that act like normal chest.

Thanks for the heads up Veelay, that does look good. I would rather see the 3D pseudo-sprite placed like a sign than an always-facing sprite, but it's still an improvement.

 

And Euphoric, yeah I thought of that also. Just fashion a fully three dimensional pot and plunk it into the world. I can't think of a reason not to do this, but perhaps there is.

I think it would look awsome too, and esspecially with the model dunk has already made, but if you read the following thread, dunk states that Bioxx doesn't want 3D models....read more for the whole story
