Enhance Your World with Custom 3D Block Models

Which Blocks Have Custom Models

Simplecraft X16 includes custom 3D models for select blocks to make them visually distinct and add depth to your builds. These aren't all blocks — only specific ones receive the 3D treatment to maintain performance.

Building with 3D Blocks

1. Identify 3D blocks in your world — Decorative blocks, certain plants, and special structures will appear more dimensional than standard blocks. They may have protruding elements or detailed geometry.

2. Use them as focal points — Place custom 3D blocks where you want visual interest: garden features, building accents, or landmark decorations.

3. Layer with standard blocks — Mix 3D custom blocks with regular textured blocks to create balanced, visually interesting structures without overwhelming the scene.

Maximizing the Effect

• Enable shaders — Custom 3D models shine under shader lighting, gaining realistic shadows and highlights that make them pop from the landscape.
• View from varied angles — The 3D geometry is most impressive when seen from different perspectives, so build in areas where players will walk around your creations.
• Combine with soft colors — The calm palette makes detailed 3D models feel refined rather than busy.
