Request: Furnace Tiles
Request Type: Unique Addition (specific to a build, region, or culture)
Describe the use of this block in said build, region, or culture. How is it unique? To the best of your knowledge how could it be used in a different context?
There are currently no blocks in the pack that in any way could sufficiently depict furnace tiles.
Considering "Kachelöfen" were so abundant in medieval Europe (and they are just awesome ), it would be a shame not to include them on the server, to me this is reason enough for new textures.
But these textures would also be suitable for more general tiling and decoration, like baths, floors, walls, ceilings, etc....
Imo the best use would be in the Vale, and as there are some Vale specific textures coming anyway, this would be a great opportunity to add furnace tiles as well.
To depict historical Kachelöfen, regular blocks, walls and slabs would be necessary imo, stairs would be great too of course.
Simple green tiles like in this depiction from 1513 would be the most useful I think, but more decorated tiles like in the other examples listed for higher class buildings would be great too.
Types of evidence to support your request: Historical
Historical Evidence
Details in my Thread "Introducing the Kachelofen", basically tiled furnaces were standard inventory in central European castles since the High Middle Ages. From what I've seen dark green tiles were the overwhelming majority during the Late Middle Ages, most likely due to the abundance of the required materials.
