Mod Loader (Required)

Quilt

Minecraft Version(s) (Required)

1.20.1

Mod Version(s) (Required)

v8.1.3

Minimal Setup (Required)

Yes

Notes (Required)

If you try and build a tall wall all of the wall's below the top row will not connect vertically. This happens even in a minimal setup using Fabric rather than Quilt. (This does not impact the vanilla Minecraft wall blocks that have not been converted to DiagonalWalls blocks)

That is intentional, the vertical wall block states have been removed to make room for the diagonal block states. That's a technical limitation, the mod page mentions it.

[JLUsr]

It's been a while since I read the mod page, rather than just the change log, and I never actually bothered building walls vertically so I totally glossed over this! Well, this is just another learning moment for me, hopefully I'll remember to re-read mod pages before submitting bug reports. Thank you very much!

Everyone seems to be having the same question and getting the same realization... It's a stupid fix, but, an item to replace the block with the original wall variant?

[Fuzss]

Well, I could image that maybe sneak+placing a wall could place the vanilla variant. Or sneak+right clicking a placed wall could convert it. What do you think of that? Maybe even both?

I like this a lot. I am partial to the idea of sneak+placing to avoid accidentally changing the block. That being said, maybe something like sneak+right click with pickaxe or right click with pickaxe (or another tool) like with logs and right clicking with an axe since it's something we do now to change a block and isn't too likely to be done on accident.

You could do the same with diagonal fences, sneak+right click with axe or right click with axe, so that someone could intentionally disconnect their fences from each other for decorative purposes.

I think sneak+place for the vanilla version would work best compatability wise, since that usually prevents behaviors, mod devs usually include this. For right clicking, or sneak rc with a tool, off the top of my head, that'd cause a carpenters axe on tetra to destroy wooden blocks. Goofy ahhh wand idea still floats :3

I have an off-topic question here, doesn't that mean that you can't strip logs or wood (the block) with a carpenters axe either? This sounds like the carpenters axe isn't meant for that kind of decor alteration anyway (not trying to debate anything just genuinely curious).

Just to add to this: In the 1.21+ versions you can use sneak+right click on a placed wall to convert it back to vanilla, so that upwards connections will show again when the walls are not connected diagonally

you can even make tall variants for the diagonal wall too!
