📋 About This Mod

Many mods make it easier to break blocks, but not many focus on placing them. Even the most experienced players still often place blocks one by one. This mod makes building easier by providing tools like mirrors, arrays, build modes and a block randomizer.

Place and break multiple blocks at once Mirror blocks in realtime Place random blocks using the Randomizer Bag Undo and redo Fully supported in survival mode

## Build Modes

Hold ALT to open the radial menu and select a build mode. With a block in hand, right-click to pick the starting position. Aim somewhere else, then right-click again to build the shape.

Build modes can be used to place blocks, break blocks, and interact with certain blocks. When holding a tool, right-clicking will interact with all the blocks in the shape. For example, stripping logs with an axe, pathing with a shovel, tilling with a hoe, and placing liquids with a bucket.

Available build modes: Disabled Single Line Wall Floor Cube Diagonal Line Diagonal Wall Slope Floor Circle Cylinder Sphere

On the right side of the radial menu you can find additional options for each build mode. On the left side you can find buttons for undo/redo, replace options, opening the modifier settings and config screens.

## Build Modifiers

Modifiers can place additional blocks for each block you placed. You can enable any number of modifiers in the modifier settings. Open the modifier settings with the button in the radial menu, or use the keybind (default NUMPAD+).

Mirror. Place a mirror at a position of a certain size. Each block placed on one side gets mirrored to the other side. Array. Copies the block you placed in a certain direction a certain number of times. Useful for repeated builds like tunnels and walls. Radial Mirror. Divides an area in slices around a central point. Each slice copies your block placements.

## Randomizer Tool

This item allows you to place random blocks. Configure the tool by shift-rightclicking when in hand.

Use it in combination with build modes and build modifiers. While placing a shape, you can open the randomizer tool and change its settings. You can preview those settings in realtime! Setting the ratio of an empty slot will cause air gaps to appear in your shape.

Crafting recipe: 3 iron ingots, 1 redstone dust, 1 any flower.

## Replace Options Use the button to the left of the radial menu to cycle through replace options.

Replace Only Air: You can only place blocks where there was air. Replaceables such as short grass and ferns can still be replaced. Replace Blocks And Air: You can replace blocks and air. Replace Only Blocks: You can only replace blocks, not air. Filter By Offhand: You can only replace blocks that match the block in your offhand.

## Undo and Redo Press CTRL+Z to undo and CTRL+Y to redo placing blocks.

## Survival-friendly Playing this mod in survival mode is fully supported. All actions consume the right number of blocks from your inventory. It is fully configurable, so you can find settings that feel balanced for you.

Here's a small sample of what you can configure: How far away you can place blocks The maximum number of blocks placed at once The maximum size of the mirror and array * Whether you can break and replace multiple blocks at once, including if tools are required, if they should use durability, etc. By default, you can break and replace blocks that you placed in the same play session.

The functional settings can be found in the radial menu. On a server, you can only edit functional settings if you are an admin.
