So I would add entities for each plot and make them appear only if the player pressed P? Then they appear to be blocks? Wouldn't drawing cubes using OpenGL be easier?

Yeah.

Which of my questions did you answer?

 

I'm not that familiar with the drawing process in Minecraft. I've tried some things, but its still vague to me. How do I draw a cube around a specific block location?

Ack! I'm trying to get out of this thread! haha. I was saying yeah to flame. I should have quoted. I'm not sure how to go about doing entities really. Sorry. Good luck.

Still unsolved

no actually drawing a entity would be easier. just because its less code in general.

drawing a red "outline" over each cube affected would actually be a huge pain in the arse

How would I draw an entity? And by entity, do you mean a mob?

no, in the minecraft hierarchy, "entity" is above mob which is itself a "entityLiving"

i am honestly not sure how to spawn entities but im sure it would be a good idea to use them

 

to give a good example. the waypoints in rei minimap, visually are "entity" not mob or entity living.

 

look at the wiki you could probably find something about it.

 

if you cant find anything, the only other help I can give you is to wait until I need to use them in my mod, which should be soon enough but i can't give any precise ETA
