Enhancement request / suggestion for Sneaky blocks

Hi,

I've been playing with Sneaky Blocks a bit today and I've noticed a few quirks.

  1. The simple right-click to apply a new texture leaves them open to accidental re-texture either by a careless owner, or a visitor who isn't aware there are sneaky blocks around.
  2. Since right-clicking is the normal mode of interaction for levers, and they normally work with a full or empty hand, they're especially prone to accidental re-texture or, if an incompatible block is in-hand, placement of the block.
  3. Sneaky False Block and Sneaky Torch textures are ugly :D
  4. Sneaky Pressure Plate texture hides that it's a full-height block.

May I suggest that the application of textures require a Ctrl+ or Shift+ right click? That would reduce the changes of accidental re-textures or accidental block placement.

It would also be nice if a stack of sneaky blocks could be textured by putting them in a crafting grid with the desired block. Not sure how easy that would be to code.

I'm no artist, but if you'd like, I can have a go at making new textures for the False Block, Torch and Pressure Plate.

edit: And perhaps add Sneaky Glass for situations where you want a sneaky block to permit light to pass through.

Cheers!

Hello, thanks for your message.

Blocks can not normally react to a sneak right click. This means that things like ctrl or shift will not actually work. It is possible to add a new keybind for them, but that is a convoluted solution. In the next update I am planning to add a sneaky key item, which allows the texture of a sneaky block to be locked. This would solve the issue you are having.

I don't see why anyone would care about the sneaky block textures. You're not meant to look at the blocks in regular form for long periods of time, and having a black placeholder texture makes sense.

Sneaky glass could be a nice feature. Same with crafting recipes to make things quicker.

Sneaky Key seems like a great idea.

Yes, improving the textures isn't necessary at all. Just something I noticed while playing around with things today and thought I'd mention it.

I am going to be redesigning how sneak blocks work for 1.13.2. Going to close this issue as it wont apply to the new version.
