Blockscape — August 2026 Update 2

Hi,

This update adds smoother building with MBlock Level and paint, new voxel-based tree leaves and sapling growth models, plus better creature pathfinding and lighting. I also fixed the inventory bugs we talked about in the forum.

Building

• Holding Shift with the MBlock tool (Level) is smoother and more predictable. It also works on different block types and slopes now.

• Edge Nudge is easier to aim, with a clearer on-screen guide

• Paint now locks to the material you first hit for the whole stroke — dragging won’t keep replacing other materials

• You can no longer paint construction materials onto smooth/organic terrain, or organic materials onto construction blocks

Trees & plants

• New way of building tree leaves from voxels. Makes tree canopies a bit more sparse and releastic. Before:

After:

• New growth-stage models for birch, spruce, and oak saplings

Creatures

• Creatures pathfind more accurately over rolling terrain

• Creatures no longer spawn inside terrain

Inventory & gear

• Head, torso, and leg pieces swap by dropping a replacement — you can’t leave those slots empty

• Related materials (like cracked rock and rock) keep quantity in sync when you move them between hotbar and inventory

Look & feel

• Softer evening sun

• Filmic colors desaturate highlights a bit more

• Sunlight no longer leaks through solid tree trunks
