[Request] Smaller occupied size for XNet cables #279

Open RalphFox opened 6 years ago

RalphFox commented 6 years ago

Hello, requesting to have something similar to applied energistics cables, thermal expansions *duits, where their collision area is smaller than a full block and you can also "get inside" the "block"'s area, allowing to stand between two pipes: Between two pipes

It also allows you to get on top of any machine it's connected to, thus making a "ladder" (I can jump directly on top of the machine and then on top of the pipe): On top of machine

On top of cable

With Xnet you can't do these, you need to put another block so you can get on top of the cable: XNet Cables/Connectors XNet Cables/Connectors

Just guessing here since I don't really know what I am talking about. Maybe making them small would make them tile entities wich could produce more lag?

No, that's not correct. Blocks don't need to be tile entities to have custom bounding boxes, and tile entities don't cause lag unless they tick.
