# Transparent/custom shaped blocks

{% hint style="danger" %}
Currently is not possible to create transparent blocks or custom shaped blocks.\
This is because of a Minecraft limitation as you can read there: [https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-54254](https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-54254)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
I order to make this possible (before Mojang will fix this issue) you can create a furniture (but won't be solid obviously) which is an entity and not a real block.
{% endhint %}

{% endcontent-ref %}

You can't create solid custom slabs, stairs and solid placeable items other than blocks.\
Problem is that Minecraft would show them as transparent blocks because of this bug: [https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-54254](https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-54254)\
You'll be able to create custom shaped blocks when Mojang will fix this bug (adding a special tag that can be turned on or off, now it's always on. **"Opaque"**).
