Secret Blocks (multi-loader)

The biggest update yet: a full set of secret redstone, containers, pistons and gates, new tools, and secret blocks that look, sound and behave like the block they copy. Every block is described in the wiki.

New blocks

• Pressure plates: Secret Pressure Plate, Secret Player Pressure Plate, and Secret Light and Heavy Weighted Pressure Plates. Each is a full floor block that works as a pressure plate.
• Redstone:
  • Secret Redstone Wire, which carries a signal on all six sides;
  • Secret Repeater and Secret Comparator;
  • Secret Observer;
  • Secret Daylight Detector, with day and night modes;
  • Secret Sculk Sensor;
  • Torch Lever.
• Containers: Secret Trapped Chest, Secret Dispenser, Secret Dropper and Secret Hopper.
• Pistons and gates:
  • Secret Piston and Secret Sticky Piston;
  • Secret Gate, which builds a line of disguised blocks while powered and takes it away again.
• Secret Clamber: a wall you walk into and climb down slowly. It replaces the unfinished Secret Ladder.

New tools

• Builder's Goggles: see the real block behind every disguise.
  • A key (B by default) switches the view.
  • Get them from the creative inventory or /give.
• Camouflage Wand: turns vanilla blocks into secret blocks and back. Creative mode or operators only.

Changes

• Picking a look: a secret block copies the block you click to place it:

  • glass, stained glass and leaves count as full blocks;
  • partial blocks give stone;
  • clicking another secret block copies the face you clicked.

  See How disguises work.

• One Way Glass: sneak while placing to put the glass on the top or bottom.

• Like their look: secret blocks sound like the block they look like, mine like it (tools speed them up as they would), and stand up to explosions like it.

  • They always drop themselves when mined.
  • Explosions drop them as vanilla drops blocks.

• Pistons push and pull secret blocks, which keep their disguise.

• Light: passes through see-through looks such as glass and leaves.

• Drawing: each face is drawn with its look's own model.

  • Connected textures work, with Continuity 2.0.x.
  • Leaves follow the Fast and Fancy setting.
  • Stained glass is translucent.
  • Grass gets its biome colour.

• Secret Iron Door and Secret Iron Trapdoor: only redstone opens them, as for vanilla iron doors.

• Secret Redstone Dust: powers the blocks beside it as vanilla dust does.

• Switch Probe and Rotator Probe: their changes are saved with the world.

• Secret Sculk Sensor: gives off no light, so it cannot be found in the dark.

• Recipes:

  • the Secret Chest, Secret Lever, Secret Redstone Dust and Secret Stone Button can now be crafted;
  • polished blackstone buttons and pressure plates work in place of stone ones.

Compatibility

• Requires Minecraft 1.19.2 exactly, Fabric Loader 0.14.21 or later, and Fabric API.

• Sodium needs Indium. Without it, the game stops at launch with a message saying so.

• Works with:

  • Iris shader packs;
  • Continuity connected textures;
  • Carpet.

  See Compatibility.

Worlds from 1.2.0

• Worlds made with 1.2.0 load in 2.0.0. Secret blocks keep their disguises, and Secret Chests keep their contents.
• In 1.2.0, hoppers and droppers could push items into plain secret blocks, where they were lost. Those items now drop when the block is broken.
