Need Corner Stairs.

[tony Liberatto]

At this point, I think this is not a suggestion, it is more a discussion about how it should be implemented and how soon.

The soon is easy. Yesterday.

the how, can offer some different possibilities.

Sometimes it bothered me the automatic corner of Vanilla Minecraft.

In some situations, I wanted to do something different and had a hard time.

Maybe have different recipes for right and left side.

I kinda liked the auto corners. Having different recipes means that you end up having to craft all these special corner stairs an inevitably have some left over. Also, more recipes to remember (or, more likely, forget).

[tony Liberatto]

I understand your point, is just that is very frustrating when you want it to go one way and it insists on going the wrong way. But right now I will settle for whatever comes.

Also I thought it would be easier to code in and so faster to add to the game.

A good point. Perhaps a recipe to convert a stair block to a inner corner, an inner corner into an outer corner, and finally, an outer corner back into a normal stair.

Maybe just a single corner stair that can be crafted but can be oriented in all 4 directions just like the stairs?

[Milo Christiansen]

You need two versions: inside corners, and outside corners, each with multiple orientations (4 right side up, 4 upside down).

So, two blocks that orient like the existing stair blocks would be needed.

or introduce an eighth-block cube 

[Tyron]

Oh right, forgot inside corners.

[Stroam]

inside and outside corners would be awesome. Didn't like Minecraft's auto-connect stairs as it took some tricks to behave how you wanted it sometimes.

[Aliysium]

Why not just chisel the corners from a fullblock? 

[Stroam]

Didn't exist at the time

[Streetwind]

Also, because the texture on chiseled full blocks does not match the texture on stairs. It looks terrible.

In order to get it to look consistent, you basically have to stop using stairs as building blocks entirely, and just use chiseled blocks for everything.

sadly chiseled blocks are not considered blocks when it comes to calculate rooms or charcoalpits. i can use slabs as the roof of a charcoalpit or room, but if i use a block that got chiseled it breaks the room/charcoalpit,

I accidently broke my charcoalpit doing chiseling nearby and a single pixel of the surrounding blocks got chiseled away. i did not notice it at that time. I tried to use it and it didn't work anymore later and had to completely rebuild it to find that 1 damn block responsible for it not working anymore.

That should definitely not be the case.  Any block of any type that is not a full block should make the charcoal pit fail.  Chiseled or not.

[Streetwind]

Can confirm, slabs work just fine for containing a charcoal pit... so long as their "full" block face is facing towards the inside.

[Hal13]

stairs too, but not chiseled blocks even if they are full blocks

That sounds like that's probably working ok then.  As long as they don't work with any 'void' facing into the pit.  Wasn't aware it was the case, but sounds fine.
