Suggestions in the long run

Before all those 3D model implementations, I would be glad just to see the block system changed:

- Be able to build a Block on top of a Half block, or combine two half blocks and still be able to put a full block on top of that;

- Be able to build round structures (well, round towers, etc.)

- Be able to combine two ramp blocks together (it's still a pain to build roofs)

- Be able to place a half block verticaly.

This simple 4 things could save a lot of disapointing builted strucutres.

Those roofing materials are great ideias too

try building with timber and not blocks most of what you asked can be done with beams and planks

I would do that if changing textures on planks was posible. Otherwise I would do everything on wood

You can change the textures to any texture the blocks have, this is done with the command console item woodplank 64 80 <---- this command = 64 x woodplanks with the texture id of 80. you need to do this in single player or be a admin on a server. most admins will do this for you or make some sort of deal with you to spawn this

Really?! Man, I can't believe that I didn't know that!!! Thanks yahgiggle.
Oh God I got so many work to do on my "world"

Some enhancements to the construction system such as "scaleable blocks" as he put it are planned. I think Red is onboard with the idea of converting blocks into construction objects. Whenever that gets implemented then we should be able to scale and freely rotate any block which should open the door for lots of new options. Building large round cylinders and stacking half blocks should be possible then. I'm personally looking forward to building pre-fab objects such as fences out of tiny blocks. I realize you can do this somewhat using planks and beams but it would make angled edges much easier to do.

The only wall block missing to finish the top of the roof:

Single block:

/\
/ \
/\ \

/ \ /
/______ \ /

I always end up stacking a pile of planks to create a triangle.

If you make the front (and and the back) wall wide an even number of blocks, you can use two sloped half-blocks side by side to make the tip of the walls.

Yes I know , but in my case I have an uneven wall with a singleblock window at the center.
Oops I mean this block:
