The appearance of many of the new blocks can be easily changed. In the gamedata folder is a file called types.json. It contains a description of every block in the game, for example:
"bricksblack" : {
"color" : "#434343",
Changing the color value will change the look of the block next time you launch the game. A website like this can be used to easily find the RGB code of your favorite color! If you accidentally break things, use Steam to verify the integrity of the game cache to instantly solve all problems.
We've tested 0.5.0 as much as we could, but we've changed a lot of things and might not have encountered all consequences yet. If you notice any new problems, please respond to this blog or in the #bug-reports channel in Discord!
We want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas! [ 2017-12-22 20:13:55 CET ][ Original post ]
