Pink beetle litematica schematic!

I just released a schematic for this very beetle you can see here! Aviable on my Vgen!

So there's an occasional problem on HermitCraft (as well as other publicly streamed and video'd SMPs) with people having their builds spoilered. As a viewer, I personally don't have a problem with spoilers, and I have never seen a spoiler that has taken away from my enjoyment of a work in the way the author had intended.

That said, I realize that others feel differently, and there's been some discourse about builders needing to erect spoiler walls, which take time and resources to assemble and tear down.

I'd like to suggest an alternative: use Litematica to erect "virtual" spoiler walls.

The process is simple:

Install a mod like Syncmatica which allows sharing of schematics and placements between members of a server

Creator "places" a schematic of, say, black concrete all around their secret project

When recording or streaming, all server members go into their Litematica settings, turn on rendering and set the "Ghost Block Alpha" setting to 1.0

Rendering under default Litematica settings:

Rendering with Ghost Block Alpha set to 1.0:

Do you want to do weird plot things with schematics that definitely were not intended by Litematica?

Under the break are step by step instructions on what settings to change to make schematics look like regular ol' blocks!

Note: Ghost blocks are not subject to local lighting updates, and generally appear brightly lit regardless of time of day, nearby lighting, or weather. They work best and are most indistinguishable in sunny, daytime conditions.

Started a new Patreon and this is the first build available to Tier 2 members! Let me know if there are any other builds you might be interested in seeing as either a short or for download! :D

"I haphazardly partially-filled a body of water top-down, and, not knowing what's source blocks and what's just downward flow, I cannot know whether I'm done"

by simply using litematica to make schematics of source blocks to compare against

after a bunch of trial and error I arrived at :

can't have "overlayReducedInnerSides" set to false or else it produces dozens of transparent layers that combine to form a solid color that gives you approximately zero information

kinda don't want to even use all layers render mode at all

single layer render mode doesn't have a top side on missing water blocks unless it's the top of the water in the schematic

therefore my optimal use method is to move a 1-tall schematic of a flat plane of water upward through my 60-high box of salmon and drowned
