Vanilla building? You cant change them directly but the forum has the world textures available which you can use to make a modified version of the plugin building.

I think you cant. A person on Reddit has said "If you go to settings, in graphics tab there is a shader". Maybe thats useful but idk

You should consider not responding when you have 0 idea what you're talking about (reading above replies also goes a long way)

Hey, Kulche is someone experienced who knows what hes talking about (like I) and also is a forum mod. So he is just doing his job. You dont really have to interject everywhere, where its not necessary. By all means, have fun chatting with others, but I had already replied to them (and you could add your own thoughts if you know what youre talking about as well). But in general, its not a wise idea to suggest things when you dont know what youre talking about.

Yes but the way he said it was quite rude for me. He could have just said it in an nicer way, so not completely my fault. But i understand and i will just delete my messages + i apologize.

A shader doesnt really do much in terms of changing textures. Its pretty much an effect set over the city which alters the way the whole city looks. This person seems to want to change how a specific building looks. For instance, adding a couple of new floors. In which case, they can get the texture from the world texture, if it is vanilla, then make alterations then make it a plugin which would allow them to get the changes they wanted, Its a little more work than an average person is willing to go through, but he/she sure can try if he/she wants to :)

OHHH, so a texture is like basically changing buildings and shaders are just for looks?

A shader is more like a filter, think Snapchat
