1.Adding a new block:

2. Shaping the block

Code reference: Tile::setShape. It takes 6 input parameters: minX, minY, minZ, maxX, maxY, maxZ
Usage: tileInstancePointer->setShape(...)
The minX, minY, minZ parameters are the offset of starting points of the drawn block, and the maxX, maxY and maxZ are the ends.

Some sample shapes:

• Cube: Tile::setShape(0.25, 0.25, 0.25, 0.75, 0.75, 0.75);
• Pillar: Tile::setShape(0.25, 0, 0.25, 0.75, 1, 0.75);
• Enchanting Table: Tile::setShape(0, 0, 0, 1, 0.75, 1);
