Sparks of the Future scenario

Large grid neon tubes (in red), used in a promotional image for the Sparks of the Future Scenario.

Neon Tubes are decorative blocks that can be painted in all colors. You need to purchase the Sparks of the Future Pack DLC to be able to build them. They come in both small grid and large grid varieties.

Usage[]

Neon-tubes-as-railings

Small grid neon tubes creatively used as railings.

Unlike lights, the color of them is not set in the Control Panel. Instead, the color that they glow is determined by what color the block is painted. They technically do not produce any light, and are only emissive. They cannot be turned on or off, and they will always glow if the grid is powered. Although they will not appear to glow if they are painted black, which can be useful for making them look like normal pipes.

Neon Tubes are an example of a block with build stages that can be of interest for decoration. If they are not welded up in Survival, or if they are ground halfway down in Creative Mode, only their metal clamps will remain. They will be fragile, but can still hold neighboring blocks such as window panes or panels.
