    As you can see in the latest version of TPT, decorations are now disabled by default.
    But they still can be re-enabled!
    Discuss the ins and outs and why's and why not's here.

    Actually, it's not

    [07:35] Ximon: I just tested the latest version, you disabled deco in the wrong main (the one when RENDERER is defined)
    [07:36] <+Ximon> jacob1, Yeah, That's what I meant to do

    But you probably saw this already

    In my opinion, the deco-layer should be turned off by default because it would greatly reduce the all diamond art saves that are popping up. This is not paint, it is an air/particle simulator. If you want to take a look at what the save looks like if it is decorated, then all you have to do is click the mouse or push a button. BUT, I think there should be a way to save what you selected as far as your options you turned on goes. That way you don't have to keep on having to turn things on (or off) everytime you get on TPT.

    I don't like this recent change. As well as diamond art saves, it also makes the saves of EVERYTHING that uses decoration look bad.

    I realized what the github commit meant. I guess the website uses the tpt code to create the saves (which I should have realized before), so changing that value in the source affects how all the saves thumbnails are rendered in the save browser. Also, since the thumbnail cache was erased, the website and game might be laggy for a few hours while they regenerate. (It's really laggy at the moment)

    When you create a save that's a block of diamond with deco, it won't look like you saw it, it will look like a block of deco to other people.

    What the f_ck no more decor? This game is being ruined because some people think it is the cause of diamond art.

    Decoration mode is like money. It is good, but can cause evil, in the mild form of artwork. How can one be destroyed to save another, when the thing we have destroyed is far greater in good than the good preserved by destroying the bad? Whoever deleted Decor has made a great mistake.

     Did this really happen before? And when is the deco-layer going to turn back on?
