Uncle Jeff's Anystone Walls

Originally built using MinecraftForge 1.7.2 (b 1121). Tested in both SP and MP. Tested again using 1.7.10 (b 1180) SP & MP client-server. Version 1.7.10-00.01.05 is a rebuild against 1.7.10 (b 1180) with no changes, now running with Forge build 1614. Upgraded to 1.8 and tested both SP and true client-server (Forge build 1450 & 1577).

Now upgraded to MC 1.8 (read carefully for differences)...

In 1.7, he recipes were predictable conversions from material blocks to walls. Example: The quartz wall took 6 quartz blocks to produce its 6 (chisled texture) quartz walls. Regardless of material, v1.7 walls all have the same hardness and blast res.

In 1.8, new materials have been added. Some (Glass, Cobble and MossCobble) have vanilla recipes that are 3-wide by 2-high, so the recipe shape is now 3-high in the middle column (all blocks), yielding 7 walls. New for v1.8, some materials are extra hard, some soft, and blast res varies (but not as much as for full blocks).

Not only that, but some now glow in the dark! (Glowstone and Sea-Lantern are full brightness; Netherrack and Endstone are still dim enough for monsters to spawn.)

In all versions, the iron gate recipe is like a fence gate, but it uses iron ingots in place of sticks and iron bars in place of planks. The iron gate is a harder, more blast-resistant fence-gate (and requires a pick to break it).

In mc1.7, my walls "stretch" toward vanilla cobble walls, but the vanilla mc walls would never reach back to connect (nor do they connect to my iron fence-gate). In v1.8, the Anystone Walls include their own imitation of cobble and mossy-cobble so you can join with other walls and the gate (but none will be recognized by true vanilla walls).

New in mc 1.10.2: Purpur is finally textured with (chiseled) purpur instead of lapis. Lapis joins the 3rd wall set on its own.
