Native Geometry & Hierarchy

Blocks land in Collections by block type, so the outliner stays clean instead of filling with fragments.

Emissive & Auxiliary Lighting

Principled BSDF emission plus 4-way point lights let lanterns, torches, and berries light the scene.

Transparency & Contact Culling

Overlapping black faces between glass blocks are removed while cutout detail stays intact.
