The most essential notion on this suggestion is to provide a placeable template block in survival that pops up a tent. This is a practicable feature. Note that this will be a 'one time event' though. For something that is reversible, Mevans will have to code something new ... something he probably also needs for his planned siege weapons/structures feature.

Another notion is to have some tent cloth that is penetrable by arrows. That seems practicable to me too.

Both of these combined got me to make this example:



This shows a 10 block long 6 block wide Ranger of the North tent of green wool stair blocks used in an improved Ranger of the North Captain's camp. Add a few more tents and there's our new Ranger of the North camp. A tent like that could be provided as a single 'tent template' that can be placed as a structure.

For the penetrable tent cloth we could use the new wool blocks as proposed in this thread. These could be steps, slabs and wall blocks (based on the gate block geometry).

I took the liberty of changing this thread's title, and that of that other thread, to focus both threads and prevent double discussions. I also added the notion to make those new wool blocks penetrable for arrows.
