Tactile:Blocks

Functional blocks such as workbenches, furnaces and grindstones are overhauled with more detailed models that keep much of the vanilla texture. Certain systems, including enchanting and ore smelting, are reworked so that they change gameplay directly instead of only opening an interface. Blocks no longer feature a GUI in many cases, and players act on them in the world.

The furnace keeps the vanilla smelting behavior but replaces its interface with two compartments: an upper one for up to four types of ingredients, totaling 64 items, and a lower one for fuel that must be lit with a fire source. Cooked results are stacked in a grid of eight slots, each holding 128 items, and fuel keeps burning regardless of the ingredient compartment. A hand drill item is introduced, and holding right-click on the fuel compartment works with it. The furnace no longer accepts hoppers. The smoker resembles an oven and can be closed; if the door stays open, it emits smoke abnormally in front of the food and cooking stops.
