About this project
What does Chiseled Block Retention add?
As of version 2.0.0 of this mod it changes all faces but UP to always be true for chiseled blocks. This has the same affect as the previous version but fixes visual bugs and compatibility with other mods.
This means that the rules for chiseled blocks being solid or not (which determines if they will allow a room to be detected as a room) will be ignored. The block should always be counted as solid now! This affects cellars, rooms and greenhouses (so all room types). So if you've ever been annoyed that your beautifully chiseled room is not detected as a "room" (probably because you made custom chiseled windows) then this mod is for you! And yes you can still waterlog chiseled blocks.
What this mod doesn't change: This mod does NOT change the collider for the block; you can still shoot projectiles through the holes in your chiseled block, you can still attach or click through the holes in your chiseled block, you can still waterlog chiseled blocks, chimney's will still detect firepits and produce smoke through chiseled blocks, and finally placing objects on chiseled blocks works still, all of these still follows vanilla rules! This mod ONLY affects room detection. This mod was made for my server to go along with another mod that makes mechanical objects solid, you can find that here!
This mod should be safe to add and remove, but with that said there may be conflicts with other mods that affect the chiseled json (though I don't know of any), and there is a chance for some rooms to now be detected weirdly. But from my testing it seems to work fine, lemme know of any issues you find!
