Disintegrate Going Through Certain Blocks?

[fuzzyhunter0608]

Should the disintegrate spell (and others?) have a config option to pass through any block listed? In my experiences, it feels weird when trying to destroy blocks that are "behind" blocks like rails, torches, and flowers, since they don't seem to be in the way. The problem with this is that the spell obviously wouldn't be able to work on those blocks at all...

I think about this a lot too- I struggle, for instance, with which spells should target through glass and which shouldn't.

For some I've made a compromise- i try through glass first, and then failing that I'll look for glass- this can be helpful in certain situations above-ground, but generally it's just really hard to build on glass, which I don't like.

I plan on having the material list system be overrideable, perhaps per-player... but how to provide a UI for that that doesn't feel like hacking is another question. It could definitely be a "power user" feature!
