Add Decorative Details to Moving Contraptions
Creating Detailed Micro-Block Structures
Use LittleTiles to build small decorative elements like railings, seats, panels, or ornamental details. Craft these structures separately or directly on your contraption before activating it. The mod will preserve their appearance and positioning once the Create machinery starts moving.
Attaching to Active Machines
Place your micro-block designs onto the contraption frame—whether it's a rotating axle, moving piston, or rail-mounted carriage. When you power the contraption, the LittleTiles blocks will render correctly and move in sync with the mechanical parts. Ensure all micro-blocks are fully supported by solid blocks; floating details may cause rendering issues.
Tips for Best Results
- Build details on stationary blocks first, then attach the whole structure to your contraption
- Avoid placing micro-blocks on Copycat blocks, as they won't render properly during movement
- Test small sections before building large detailed assemblies
- Use solid LittleTiles blocks only; transparent or partial blocks may not behave predictably
