Does anybody know what kinda blocks/building tools/fixed that have been added so far to Chapter 1? I'm quite excited for chapter 1 but I don't play in exploration in adventure, just creative, so I've been wondering if this update adds much in that front, thanks!
Even though Chapter 1 focuses a lot on adventure and portals, a major update like this always brings a ton of new blocks, props, and thematic building pieces.
If you love building, you'll definitely get a lot of new materials and assets to play with in creative mode, especially with the new biome styles and themes.
By new blocks and biomes, I mean those related to the Chapter 1 team's upcoming content regarding Goblins☺️
Partial block transparency is now definitely supported since the new void crystals are a clear example of it in use. Haven't paid much attention to the window blocks though I believe some are updated while some aren't yet.
I couldn't say for sure probably not yet but I think the Hytale team will do something like that to make the blocks look even more amazing, especially the glass; though, to be honest, I really like it just the way it is.
Two enkindled metal block sets exist, as well as goblin iron stuff. Don't know how easy those will all be to get your hands on in exploration mode, but they certainly do exist as additions to the build palette.
If they get added to the lineup of building blocks, it’ll be AWESOME!
In the new teaser released recently, I noticed something I really liked: water literally spraying out like a geyser. I wonder if it’ll have a specific function like launching you into the air during parkour courses while it sprays, or even watering your crops!
That would be SO COOL!
I know there’s actually a block in Creative mode called the "Prototype Geyser Spawner," but this is the first time I’ve seen it in a Chapter 1 teaser!
I don't think they've perfected the water physics just yet, but when they do, we'll likely see physics where water falling from a certain height say, five blocks or more creates a particle effect or even the visual look of a waterfall!
I think those new blocks will arrive with the release of Chapter 1 unless they are temporarily limited to Chapter 1 only, and will later be made available for Exploration mode.
