EternalS Chisel32

Chisel32 adds a high-detail 32x32x32 chiseling system, giving a single normal block 32,768 editable microvoxels for much finer detail than vanilla chiseling.

Features

  • Fine Chisel tool with multiple brush sizes: 1x1, 2x2, 4x4, 8x8, 16x16

  • Fine Paint Tool with a color picker and palette-style color selection
    - Add custom colored materials directly into Chisel32 blocks
    - Tint existing materials without replacing their original texture

  • Ctrl + Left Click to copy the material under the cursor

  • Ctrl + Right Click to paint selected voxels with the copied material

  • Line chiseling and line painting with Shift

  • Rotate, flip, and custom name tools

  • Ctrl + Z undo support

Compatibility

  • Vanilla chisel compatibility

  • QP Chisel Tools compatibility for: True Chisel, Hand Planer, Hand Wedge, Paint Brush, Palette, Paint Scraper, several Pantograph actions
    Unsupported tool actions are handled more safely to help prevent shape or data loss.

Current Status

Chisel32 is still experimental.
The basic Fine Chisel is available in Survival, while advanced/color tools and some testing utilities are currently Creative-only.

 

This mod was created for the Ukrainian Vintage Story server Eternal Seraph.

I just got a ctd while opening the handbook section for the advanced chisel. Creative mode - survival world. I have no idea how to read these, I'm sorry 😆

This crash does not seem to come from Chisel32 directly. The log points to a broken/errored recipe from Tear It Apart:
System.InvalidOperationException: Missing or errored output result for recipe 'tearitapart:recipes/grid/armor.json'

It looks like the handbook/recipe explorer tried to build recipe info while opening the Advanced Fine Chisel page and crashed on that unrelated recipe.
Update to the latest version first and if it still happens after updating, try disabling Tear It Apart / Better Handbook temporarily to confirm the conflict.

Thanks for the explaination and advice, I'll report back with results <3

* edit; I updated the mod and disabled Tear It Apart and there was no crash :)

  • Added Fine Chisel metal variants: copper, tin bronze, bismuth bronze, black bronze, iron, meteoric iron, and steel.
  • Added Advanced Fine Chisel.
  • Added separate Fine Paint Tool for color materials.
  • Moved Chisel32 tools into a named creative tab: Chisel32 Tools.
  • Color material tools are now separated: painting is handled by Fine Paint Tool and Advanced Fine Chisel.
GremLena, May 20th at 6:29 AM

I am SO happy this is now a thing, thank you so much!!! Do you plan on making it more compatible with QP's chisel tools? I've found that as soon as its altered by the fine chisel it gives the block a different 'state'(?), and when trying to further mess with it the whole block gets turned into the solid 'fine chiseled block' from the mods creative tab, undoing all the chiseling

Thanks! QP Chisel Tools compatibility has already been added in the latest version.
QP tools or the vanilla chisel should no longer turn Chisel32 blocks back into a solid fine-chiseled block or wipe the shape.
True Chisel, Hand Planer, Hand Wedge, Paint Brush, Palette, Paint Scraper, and several Pantograph actions now route safely into Chisel32’s.

Some functional conversions are blocked to prevent data loss.Please note that some QP tools are not supported yet and may not work for now.
I’m also not fully sure if support for every tool or action can be added in the future. Some functions may still not work, or may behave a little differently than they do with normal chiseled blocks.

Thanks for the detail, I was using the multichisel-thing (iv'e recently come back to VS after a long break, and it's new to me) so I wasn't 100% sure whether it was my fault, or if I could blame it on my tools, as I was a little pixel-happy at the time. If I manage to pull myself together I hope to help with testing (breaking) stuff, and possibly actually being a useful tester! <3

Breaking stuff is exactly what good testing is. If you notice anything weird again, feel free to send screenshots, steps to reproduce it, or whatever details you have.
That already helps a lot. Thanks!

KiriRae, May 19th at 3:40 PM

I've been waiting for this FOR-EVER! Thanks much! Will be impatiently waiting for this in survival.

@KiriRae: I've been waiting for this FOR-EVER! Thanks much! Will be impatiently waiting for this in survival.

I’m really glad to hear that.
Survival support is definitely planned, but I want to make sure the core system is stable first.
I’d rather release it a bit slower than risk players losing their work. I’ll keep improving it step by step.

Ah, we can finally chisel bricks along their textured mortar!

Yep, that’s one of the things I’m really excited about too. Just please chisel responsibly, for the sake of your FPS lol

@Lumvik: Yep, that’s one of the things I’m really excited about too. Just please chisel responsibly, for the sake of your FPS lol

NEVER! You can't stop us! What if we only want 5fps? *laughs maniacally while adding tiny pixels to my already eldritchly detailed lampost*

@Lumvik: Yep, that’s one of the things I’m really excited about too. Just please chisel responsibly, for the sake of your FPS lol

For sure. I'm actually pretty conservative with chiseling, but given greedy meshing it should be fine to use 32x alignment for the same level of detail... I think.
