Planks, Beams, Poles have same textures as blocks.

if you play in SP you can obtain such logs/planks/beams by console command, i.e. open the console with the ~/` key and type item woodlog/woodplank/woodbeam N T, where N the number you want and T the texture number you want them in (current textures are from 21 to 218).

You can also use the PnB plugin for a gui representation of the console command
[Plug-in] Planks 'n Beams with ANY (built-in) texture

It would be nice not to have to use as plugin though or a command

that is very true indeed but a metallic log cannot be called a woodlog so they would need to be added as new construction items, not sure how @red51 might want to handle that in the future

Very true, and it must be medieval compatible a blacksmiths furnace maybe @red51

I should have added that. I thought it would go without saying "without console commands". This is a suggestion for the base game.

Well sorry for jumping the gun here, but usually most people don't know that the console even exists let alone that there are commands to spawn items so whenever this suggestion comes up (and it does at least once per month or so ) the first thing we always suggest is for them to have a look at the console and most people are satisfied with this way of obtaining such items for now, but indeed this is something that should be added to the base game at some point.

That's assuming the server allows access to the console

Only talking about SP here where you have access to everthing, servers are too diverse to even start discussing things relating to them

But well ofc once these items are added to the game they will be available on servers too

I don't think there is any item in the game that is only available in SP and not on a server, well unless you have blocked access to it ofc

But that is also one of the reasons for you to use the PnB plugin for now since it allows access to the items and even subtracts the required resources if you are not in creative mode at least

Planks & Beams works very well and has a very streamlined visual front end. I'd say that's exactly what the official implementation should look like.

Everything was done with the plugin planks, logs and beams. Just type "/ png" in the chat and a window with all the textures will appear and you can choose.

And I frankly do not see even a reason why a server does not provide the "Planks & Beams" plugin, since it works without cheating, you need to have raw material to "buy" the objects.

I totally agree, but here is one good reason (and the main reason why I don't use it): the last major update caused the pnb plugin to cause all sorts of problems as it got totally broke! The author of the plugin has abandoned it, thus forcing JIW games to step in and do a temporary fix on it!

On page 4 Red51 posted a recompiled version for the last update.
