Common Bugs

Below are a list of common bugs encountered while making custom blocks/blocksets and how to solve them.

My block does not appear using the right mesh or in the spot I placed it.

This should be automatically handled in 9.4's ModKit. However if the issue is still present uncheck the "Optimize Mesh Data" option inside Unity's Player Settings prior to exporting the mesh.
