    Hi everybody.

    I've been working on some new blocks, and I've found something I don't really know how to solve.
    I've noticed since the first time (and I'm sure many of you did too), that some blocks of different types overlap each other when they touch.

    How can I control that? Somebody knows which parameter defines which blocks cover what blocks?

    Thank you!

    Is it just cosmetic, or are they actually in the same 8x8 pixel space?

    It's a cosmetic issue.

    Each block has its 8x8 space wich the game respects, but each block also has an "extra space" This is how blocks like dirt and ice get their irregular appereance. In the case of crafted blocks, like wood planks or cobblestone blocks, this extra is just a 1px border, which overlaps, or gets overlapped by other blocks "extra space".

    I need to know how it is defined which blocks appear on top and which ones do not.
