New way to think about building and destroying at sea level

[nalyd8991]

Building something on water is nearly impossible with the current setup. Anything you build, you can't access from the water because it's a block too high. What I was thinking, is to make building at sea level possible, but only if it's connected to land. Essentially for building and destroying purposes, the water would react like air. Also, if a block is destroyed at sea level, the space would fill with water. Along with all of this, the "bedrock" would have to be lowered by a block. That way, things can be built at sea level, but it wouldn't be completely free and unlimited.

agreed! it will be so much better

This is a good idea, however the natural terrain of the map has to stay indestructible, otherwise 1 click would kill the map.

It would ruin maps such as pinpoint.

Pyspades script?

[Danqazmlp]

I really like the idea.

You can already build all the way around, he's basically suggesting that you can build 1 block lower, and still be able to break it too.

Love the idea
Building over water as it is is a pain in the ass,
But maybe because water is supposed to be a disadvantage?

Not to mention that maps like pinpoint are the scourge of AoS*
*This is only my opinion, but I'm sure someone will aggree with me.

Then don't play on it

Eaither way, map compatibillity is like mod capatibillity: expect updates to break them.

Truth. This game is in beta, after all. It's our responsibility to adapt to change.

It depends on how it's done. If the feature is hard coded in, then it might or might not break 1 block tall maps. If you just raise the water level by a block, or another easy fix like that, then, unless it somehow automatically adds a block to the bottom of the map, it might break maps like pinpoint.

I think you should just be able to raise the sea level into a build able area
