Recommendations

  • Keep displays decorative unless you have tested hitboxes and interaction behavior.
  • Use clear keys so future configuration is easier to maintain.
  • Test each direction by placing the structure facing multiple ways.
  • Avoid too many displays on structures that may exist hundreds of times in a world.
