Finally, something to do with all of that extra plastic sheeting from homedecor/pipeworks.

Craft from a ring of 8 plastic sheets, then optionally dye (v2+) by placing in the crafting grid with a dye.

I'm not really doing versions anymore...

thats one way to store lots of plastic

[Inocudom]

Is the plastic flammable? If it is, then it better be kept away from fire.

The blocks don't quite look like they are made of plastic.

[Josh]

Is this mod made in China? (LOL)
Cool idea.

[Sokomine]

Nice mod. Finally a use for all those leaves!

Perhaps you could add semi-transparent/transparent plastic for windows and colored one for decoration as well.

It...uhm.......has...flame retardant. Yeah, that's it.

It was made in the USA. You can make plastic boxes with it in China if you want, though.

If you make me textures, I'll do it.

but..but...are these BPA-free!?

V1 is... did you put any in the textures for V2?

[Bas080]

It's like wool, but plastic. I like the difference in colour and texture compared to the default wool colours. How to colour the blocks?

EDIT:

What are those brown things in the grass in the screenshot.



and...

nice tree in the middle there



What mod is it?

They are colored by placing a block in the crafting grid along with a dye from unifieddyes. Note that this only works with v2.

I don't know what mod that is. You'll have to ask VanessaE - I downloaded the collection of mods from her.

It was a joke

[Inocudom]

How about some milk carton crates? They are made of plastic and could be used for decoration and storage purposes.

[VanessaE]

Actually I based the textures on the default dye colors, so if you used the "groups" method in your recipes, unified dyes shouldn't be needed at all.

[Geopbyte]

I think that is undergrowth.

Milk carton crate? is that a thing? I do agree that plastic does come in different shapes. It is one of the most flexible materials to design with.

[VanessaE]

One of these, I assume he means:

[kizeren]

The git hub now includes all shapes and sizes of plastic. Will need the moreblocks mod installed so they can be made from the table saw.

[Sokomine]

This mod is now supported by my spray booth/colormachine mod.

[JPRuehmann]

Hello

loks cool, but fortunately it is incompatible with moreblocks which is needeb by a great number of other mods.

One of these, I assume he means:

The name of this mode is strange.
Rather it's a plastic block and not a plastic box because we can't store anything in it.
But I like the idea, thanks for your works.

Happy to reach here after 1 hour surfing. I am having downloading issue, Do i need to signup first? or having cache problem?

Downloading the most recent forum attachment (plasticboxv2_1.zip) ought to work. If it doesn't work for you, you might as well use github: master.zip.

[Stix]

will you update the mod to use hardware coloring? because the mod looks nifty.
