So far I didn't want to include a custom model, because it might have slight issues with path-traced shaders -granted the doors have custom models but those don't change geometry, just texture-mapping and UV's, same with basalt-. Items also have custom models but those aren't rendered the same as terrain anyways.
I might consider addind a custom model later but for now, I'll stick to this.
I also tried using a non-metal flag on rusty parts, but even with Optifine's latest LabPBR option switch to use point filtering upon generation of the specular maps mipmaps a halo appears around those parts at a distance. That's because the metallic (high value in PBR map's metal property) and non-metallic (low value) are averaged in smaller res mipmaps to a ~110-128 value (not really a metal but not a dielectric either), which causes those regions to behave differently vis-à-vis the roughness property, causing haloes.
Heres' a GIF illustrating the issue with Kappa v4.1 (happens with most/all shaders anyways)
