I was trying to make a greenhouse for my bees but I was struggling to make somethign that looked nice so I looked up what real greenhouses look like. It turns out most greenhosues have slanted roofs make of glass. There is unfortunetly no slanted glass in the base game and msot of the builds i saw got around this with clever use of chiseling and support beams which seemed a bit much for me personaly, so instead I made this mod not relizing that it'd be wayy more effort. 

I added most roof varaints with the noteable exeption of the inner and outer corrner blocks. The corrner blocks are excuded because thier models are janky in a way that is usually hidden by opaque textures and I couldn't find a way to make them work. there are potential fixes but they would look diffrent fro mthe rest of the roofs in the mod and i can't figure out how to do them anyway. This mod also less noteably excludes a few blocks like the half ridge simply because This mod already tooks a few times as long as I was expecting. I might add them later.

I also added some extra variants that are more similar to base game roofs in shape so that the roof can be flush with walls while also allowing the roofs to look like panes of glss in most instances, some of these are a bit more expensive than their base game counterparts because I couldn't find another way to make their recipies that wouldn't disrupt the rest of the mod's recipe parity with base game. 

The "sidesolid" and collision atributes are the same as standard from base game even when it does not line up with the models simply because I do not feel ready to mess with them and that arrangement seems mostly adequate. 

All in all I am quite happy with this dispite it not being what I expected my first mod to be. I leared a lot,  I think it looks good and I'm reasonably certan that someone else will find some use in it. 

If you find any bugs or please report them on the fourm for this mod and I'll try to see aobout fixing them.

I would also love to see any builds you make with this mod so please send screenshots to the fourm :)

It should be compatable with some versions before 1.20.12 but that's the version I made it for and I have not tried it with any others.

I was literally just thinking I should make a glass roof mod and here you've already done it! Thanks so much! Can you add a couple images of how they look with existing roof types?

I wish there were this many roof block variations for the vanilla roofs, especially the 'pane' roof that isnt connected to a block, honestly this would just be in the vanilla game if it were my choice

Greetings! Thank you for such a thorough explanation of what your mod does and some of the decisions you made as to why certain features are the way they are. Thanks for this mod...the glass options are so limited in vanilla VS. I think you will find great success with this one! GG!

Accidentally left a placehloder icon from extended creation as the mod icon, i've fixed the problem now though. Ther should not be any other placeholder assets from other mods anymore.
