Easy way of change texture of existing block in survival mode

Basically we could "easily" add a paint brush which replaces block textures. The necessary game mechanics are already there (accessible in the creative mode F8 tools)

I'm only struggling with finding a reasonable way to change the material in survival mode... it feels a bit weird if a wooden block could be turned into a metal block just by using a paint brush, for example

I think we need another way or another tool for that... maybe a hammer & chisel? It could be a dedicated tool then to replace existing blocks in the world with another block (you just need the new block in your inventory). What do you think about that?

maybe something like a tool that lets you change the texture if you have the mats for the new texture in your inventory.

The hammer & chisel could be used to "upgrade" or "downgrade" blocks. However, there's the issue of it selecting multiple at a time instead of doing the entire castle with click click, click click, click click.

Why not just restrict it to only being able to change material for same material, that way it prevents people from exploiting it. Depending on how you have things set up you might have to create a couple of tools for survival like "wood chisel", "Stone Chisel", etc. so you can restrict the materials, but hey you don't use wood chisels to carve stone in real life so no big having to have a couple of them in game for the right job.

Why are you having a hard time with resources? The resources are clearly defined.

The question for me is more whether it is enough if the basic resources (logs, stones, ores) are there or does the finished block have to be in the inventory.

Example:

I want to replace a block of wood with gold

Variant 1: I have to have gold in the inventory for the corresponding block - time-consuming, complicated and error-prone and you may have made too many blocks and wasted resources in the process

Variant 2: I have to have 4 gold plates in the inventory for the corresponding block of gold, which perhaps requires 4 gold plates

Variant 3: I just have to have the required gold ore for the required bars/plates for the desired block in the inventory

Personally, I would be in favor of variant 3 in order to be able to replace blocks just as easily as in creative mode and still fulfill the survival aspect. Perhaps it can also be adjusted between these 3 variants and the server operator sets it up according to his wishes/ideas.

It would be perfect if, when building at a workbench, you didn't have to have all the resources in your inventory, but could access the contents of the containers within a radius of 6 blocks (just as an example) - I always have several boxes with the resources around my workbench.

A simple "replace mode" (on/off button) in "C" menu, with a green overlay when you target a block to replace it, if you have the right type of block in your hands (and a red one otherwise), could perfectly do the job. No new tools or further justification is required.

I agree too, it's a good idea to offer a way to change texture without rebuild in survival mode.

It's survival not creative. A solution is good to change a certain block but if you want to change the whole construction then start again from scratch. You have to think and plan before you start building. If you build in real life you have to choose the right material, right?

How many times will it happen that a builder chooses the wrong texture ? Best solution so far is from Ozorvals. It's good to brainstorm but Red has already enough on his plate to get version 1.0 ready, so no distraction needed.
