Use these to connect the lighted blocks together. Simply make a connected piece that does not change shape and does not light up by itself. This effect can even be used to make 'invisible wires'. If you have a row of lighted, connected pieces then changing one will make the entire row change - without additional wires. It can even be made into connected furniture and will work like other connected blocks. If one state includes the torch and one does not, then the light will turn on and off when it changes states. Interactive pieces can be lighted, as well. You can make a furniture piece that lights up by creating it with a torch block. It wouldn't be much of a door if you can't walk through it! This means you may have to remove one of the blocks and change the state of the other one before placing the first one back.Ĭonnected furniture can be activated by an electric signal applied to any of the individual blocks. You want to have the two parts of a door to open at the same time, for example. When building with connected furniture, you need to pay attention to the current state of each block. This does mean that the most states a connected piece can have is 8, instead of 9. Simply add a single piece of wire when crafting it and it will be a 'connected' block. Non-connected furniture blocks will NOT change even if it's touching a connected block.Ĭonnected furniture is made like (regular) interactive furniture, through the workbench. This means that when one changes, the other one will change at the same time, as long as they are touching (and not just by corners).Īll connected furniture MUST be multistate as well. Instead, the blocks can be made 'connected'.
If you want to make a two-block door using interactive furniture, you usually don't want to have to open each block separately. See these notes about wiring to furniture pieces. You can also connect a wire to it so it can be changed remotely. To make this piece change states, simply tap it. Take the piece from the workbench and it's ready to use! This shows that it's an interactive piece. Notice that the finished piece has a small hand emblem in the corner of the inventory slot. Take all the desired states and place them in a workbench, in the order you want them to show. Then each state must be made separately as a furniture piece unless some states are identical. Most applications won't need more than 3 or 4 different states. It can also give away secret doors, if there's a light source behind them.įirst decide how many states the furniture block will need. This lets you make 'solid' walls that let light through as if they were made of glass. If one state is nearly clear, you will get a lot of light through in any state. Note: The amount of light passing through the block is determined by the state with the greatest transmission. Using all 9 states, a short animated scene can be created to emulate a working TV! Secret passages can be made if one state is made to look just like the wall and another state is an open passage. You could make for instance, a window that can be closed, opened partway or opened completely using only 3 states. If it's in the last state, it will next change to the initial state, and repeat.
When the block is activated, either by tapping on it or by an electric signal, it will change to the next state. Interactive furniture can have from 2 to 9 different states. These may be used to replace the standard switch and button. However they cannot be BOTH connected and a switch.įurniture may be made as custom switches and buttons. Lighted furniture may even be used in making furniture switches. Lighted furniture may be made as a basic piece (always on), as an interactive piece (you can turn it on/off) or as a connected piece (it turns on/off along with another piece). This can also be used to make double-doors where both sides open when any one block is activated.įurniture may include a torch or wicker lamp to make the piece a light source. Make them connected and when one is opened, the other will open as well. When building a two-block high door, you don't want to have to open each block separately. This means that whenever a connected furniture block is activated, all other connected furniture blocks that touch it will also be activated.
This lets us make working windows and doors, and so much more. This means it will change when it's tapped, or when activated via electricity. They can be made interactive, or multi-state. 5.1 Crafting Furniture Switches and Furniture Buttonsįor the basic furniture, see this page More advanced furniture pieces may be made using the workbench.5 Furniture Switches and Furniture Buttons.
