How do I install this?

Stairs and slabs are one of the most often-requested features of the NodeCore game, even though they didn't fit the game themes/mechanics and had to be removed from a very early version. This mod adds them back in as an optional feature, in a uniquely Nodecorian way.

Stairs/slabs are defined for:

  • Wooden Planks
  • Cobble
  • Bonded Bricks (of various types)
  • Lode Cubes (but not Glowing)
  • Chromatic Glass

To craft stairs or slabs:

  • Build the shape of the stairs or slab in a 2x2x2 space, only these 2 basic shapes are currently supported. You must use only one of the supported materials and cannot mix them.
  • Make sure you have nothing else but air, and the flat work surface you're building the stair/slab unit on, in the space or surrounding that 2x2x2 space.
  • Place an eggcorn on top of one of the base nodes (i.e. for stairs, on the bottom step, not the top).
  • Use a mallet to mash the eggcorn and glue the nodes together into a unit.

Stairs and slabs can be recycled by chopping them apart with a hatchet.

    Interesting, but doesn't actually add normal stairs/slabs

    I think stairs and slabs visible in other voxel sandbox games such as MTG are great for making decorations and paths. I thought this would be a great feature to have in NodeCore too, but it turns out this mod is not it.

    What this mod actually does is compress specific block formations, like a 2x2 wooden floor, into 1 item. It may be useful if one is looking to optimize their inventory space, but it's not even possible to place the thing in a different rotation, and there's already a solution to handle large amounts (spoiler) of items built into the game.

    In conclusion, this is a decent mod for optimizing inventory space and faster placing/destroying by compressing block formations into single items but doesn't actually add stairs/slabs.

  • Fantastic solution, simple to use.

    This stair implementation is so clever. It really makes building so much easier. Must-have for Nodecorian builders.
