Could you build this?

Partial While modding logic can be written with AI assistance, creating seamless Minecraft block collision models, blockstates, and connection logic requires specialized knowledge of Minecraft's rendering and modding toolchains (Fabric/Forge).

What it would actually take: Built using Java with Fabric or NeoForge, requiring custom block entity/state definitions, voxel shape collision boxes, and mixins into world interaction logic. The challenge lies in accurately synchronizing custom block collision meshes with the vanilla engine and avoiding state desyncs or lighting artifacts.
