That's technically possible today, if you are good with custom spawned objects. More specifically, you spawn a door that's made of these blocks. And yes, even the size/spaces of doors can be customized.

we should be able to use wiring to toggle them on and off

Looks like this mod is bugged, the crafting recipes only show up while in admin mode
Aethis 8 Oct, 2021 @ 4:03pm 
pre sub question, do they have a set of these blocks that has smoothened corners like the hull blocks?
IDGAFdotCOM 19 Feb, 2021 @ 3:10pm 
This would be way cooler if they inputs that could enable or disable them.

Blocks ain't appearing in wiring station.

Where did that vehicles in your screenshot come from?

@cutieryan
It won't corrupt your save to remove this. Only existing holoblocks in the world turn to dirt, and ones in your inventory become perfectly generic items.

You might try unsub and resub. And try restarting Steam.
Also if you just want to spawn them (if it still won't show up)

/spawnitem hb_holoblockmaterial 1000

I've been having problems with this mod. The game works fine, it's just the HoloBlocks™ aren't showing up at all. I checked the wiring station and every tab available for it, then checked the iron workbench in case I read the mod description wrong, then read the description again, then checked the wiring station AGAIN, and I still can't find them even through search.

Since I can't get the HoloBlocks,™ is it safe to uninstall this mod without corrupting my save file/universe? Because that happened to me before with another mod that added furniture.

sorry
Bam4000  [author] 17 Sep, 2019 @ 12:39pm 
Or wait
i havent got the time and im having problems so tomorrow

If you want a wired thing, you really want a door with no graphics (blank image). And something like this in the object's JSON.
"closedMaterialSpaces" : [
[ [0, 0], "hb_holoblock" ],
[ [0, 1], "hb_holoblock" ],
[ [0, 2], "hb_holoblock" ],
[ [0, 3], "hb_holoblock" ],
[ [0, 4], "hb_holoblock" ],
[ [1, 0], "hb_holoblock" ],
[ [1, 1], "hb_holoblock" ],
[ [1, 2], "hb_holoblock" ],
[ [1, 3], "hb_holoblock" ],
[ [1, 4], "hb_holoblock" ]
],

Although I could have the [x, y] offsets wrong because I didn't test doing that and haven't messed around with it in a while. You can play around with that as needed. And if the "door" was meant to be a different size that 2x5, you'd just use more or less material spaces as needed.

If you wanted it to ONLY work with wire nodes and not open via player interaction, then you'd also add
"interactive" : false,
SHOPPIP 17 Sep, 2019 @ 11:22am 
but only if you can make a wired one. i do not mod so i do not know if you can
SHOPPIP 17 Sep, 2019 @ 11:17am

Today HOLOSLOPES!
Wombat 1 Aug, 2019 @ 10:36pm 
It would be cool if the hologram blocks were sloped so you could make more things with them
JayStarPlays 23 Jul, 2019 @ 4:58pm 
Can you please make them deflect projectiles? I really need a block that can help me defend a base against meteors. Right now, I have a 20-tile thick layer of just glass defending it, and I have to repair it constantly!!!
Nozo 11 Jul, 2019 @ 6:49pm 
I have subbed to this mod but the blocks do not show up for me in the wiring station, any idea what could cause this?
cutieryan 29 Jun, 2019 @ 9:03pm 
How about holographic furniture, doors, icons, or even holographic people who can be placed on walls? Because this mod it makes me feel like placing holographic wall decorations, numbers, etc. all over the sign in the first and second images.
Bam4000  [author] 16 Jun, 2019 @ 1:56pm 
Ok
Void Eye Gaming 16 Jun, 2019 @ 1:46pm 
HoloBlocks™, now with various color choices. I guess I'll make HoloBlocks: Slope Edition.
Bam4000  [author] 15 Jun, 2019 @ 9:20am 
Its from the mod Citybound
gamer 15 Jun, 2019 @ 7:01am

What mod contains those cool ships?

Question, Can They Be Used To Draw On?
ProfileName 13 Jun, 2019 @ 3:25pm 
Hey, I suggest making a set of pre-made projectors that could potentially be used to be like people's own projectors. And maybe some inverted Holoblocks... ones that only connect with their color, or with their own type (normal and "Inverted x")... sound cool? Could probably make laser beams with them, huh?
Wako Doodle 13 Jun, 2019 @ 1:00pm 
Can you display anything on them? Like a person or an object?
Bam4000  [author] 13 Jun, 2019 @ 12:16pm 
We reached 666 subs!

@Bam4000
>HoloPlatforms
I have a version of those already - although your version will probably be different. Mine appear when the player gets near, and disappear (including the collision) otherwise.

There is something also like that in vanilla though. But very basic and not a proper platform. Wait you're probably talking about .material files instead of objects. So that's pretty different and should be cool.
Bam4000  [author] 13 Jun, 2019 @ 11:55am 
I think he means the glitch hidden door thing
bk3000 13 Jun, 2019 @ 11:53am 
@Eldershire
Hologram secret doors? A glowing hologram isn't so secret. That stands out quite a bit.

There is already a secret door type in game (wire station) and I made other versions of that concept as part of a mod - but I don't understand your request.

@Link11
IT could technically be done as a door. Doors support "closedMaterialSpaces" and even "openMaterialSpaces" parameters. That is a set of relative space and any valid tile/platform/rail/metamaterial. For example
"closedMaterialSpaces" : [
[ [ 0, 0 ], "brick" ],
[ [ 1, 0 ], "brick" ],
[ [ 2, 0 ], "brick" ],
[ [ 3, 0 ], "brick" ],
[ [ 4, 0 ], "brick" ]
],
Thus you could make a door out of this
Lumi 13 Jun, 2019 @ 10:38am 
Dont even try plz, im still very upset
Bam4000  [author] 13 Jun, 2019 @ 10:37am

Lumi 13 Jun, 2019 @ 10:36am

Bam4000  [author] 13 Jun, 2019 @ 10:00am

Lumi 13 Jun, 2019 @ 9:44am

Bam4000  [author] 13 Jun, 2019 @ 8:04am 
Any issues with the new 1.4 update?
Lumi 12 Jun, 2019 @ 11:01am 
Oh ok
Bam4000  [author] 12 Jun, 2019 @ 7:39am 
Well to make the server crash you have to place the blocks down
Lumi 12 Jun, 2019 @ 4:32am 
is this a client mod?
Cause i play in vannila server and dont want to crash.
Eldershire 11 Jun, 2019 @ 6:29pm 
Could you make these in a form like the secret doors?
⟴ Bay 11 Jun, 2019 @ 3:15pm 
this looks like an amazing fantastic mod, as well as the idea being really cool, considering it's the future and all. Still no clue how nobody thought of this.
donald.nintendo 11 Jun, 2019 @ 9:07am 
that is badass.
good work on this.
Link117 11 Jun, 2019 @ 8:55am 
it would be nice to have a set that can be wired on and off
