Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.21.5, potentially outdated):
glassview_1.2.0.zip  1-click install


Struggling to see glass voxels while chiseling? GlassView adds bright cyan wireframe outlines around glass materials in microblocks, making them easy to see and work with.

Features:

  • Wireframe highlights appear automatically when holding a chisel
  • Only activates when looking at a chiseled block (microblock)
  • Shows glass in the selected block and adjacent neighbors
  • Minimal performance impact - only renders when needed

Usage:

Simply hold a chisel and look at a microblock containing glass. The glass voxels will be outlined in cyan, making it easy to see their exact boundaries for precise chiseling work.

dizzyd I am not sure how to explain clearly. When you want to attach a beam to a chiseled glass block, having the highlighting work for that would be helpful so you can see where youre attaching it more clearly. Like if you were building a greenhouse and using support beams for decoration

Jomeaga - I just released 1.1.1, which *should* fix that issue. Let me know? (The accessbility option doesn't seem to do anything on Mac, so I had a hard time validating this fix)

This mod seems to interfer with the accessibility setting for wireframe thickness. I have mine set to a higher value, but with this mod it gets reset to default despite the setting value.

Ket - support for chiseltools tools is now in 1.1.0! I'm not sure what you mean about placing beams - can you elaborate?

This is a life saver! Would it be possible to add this to the chiseltools tools? And maybe for placing beams on chiseled glass? (IDK if thats even possible)

features that should be in vanilla/10

I was just complaining about how awful chiseling glass was, and then this mod popped up, wowie.
