What's that ?

Buildmode is a feature that let you quickly and easily use build tools. This feature is heavily inspired by the axiom mod.

Important informations

  • To access it, hold ALT and scroll to choose the mode you want.

  • While in buildmode, most actions and unrelated tools are disabled, you need to switch back to Normal mode to use them

  • If the config: "buildmode keybinds" is enabled, while in a buildmode keybinds help will be shown on the bottom right corner of the screen. In most case the keybinds are right, left and middle click, and can be associated with the sneak and sprint key for special actions. Refer yourself to these keybind if needed.

  • Pressing your Sprint key will move your "virtual camera" to the center of the selection box meaning the face looked is relative to the general direction you're looking at (if you look north the north face of the box will be the face modified, etc). If that doesn't make sense, just go ingame and test to figure that out.

Modes

Normal

The normal creative mode, it's your average creative experience, you can use the edit tools and can directly modify the world.

The config "noUpdate" doesn't affect this mode.

Selection

This mode allow you to select an area that is needed for most actions in T.U.

  • Left click to choose the first position and right click for the second position.

  • If the config: "visualize selection" is enabled, the selection box will be displayed ingame, and you will be able to directly modify the selection box by looking at a face and scrolling to extrude that face.

  • If you press your Sneak key while scrolling, you will move the whole selection box in the direction of the face.

  • If you press the middle click while looking at a block, the selection box will be moved to that block.

Copy/cut

This mode allow you to either copy or cut an area previously selected and pasting it somewhere else.

  • By pressing left click you will copy the selection.

  • By pressing your Sneak key and left click you will cut thr selection.

  • By pressing right click you will paste the copied/cut selection to the current selection. (I advise you to no modify the selection size between copying and pasting paste exactly where you want it)

  • Scrolling work the same as the Selection mode but reversed, meaning "normal" scrolling move the whole selection and scrolling while pressing the Sneak key will extrude the faces)

  • Pressing left or right click while pressing the Sprint key will select the first and second position.

  • Pressing the middle click will move the selection to the block looked at.

Block set

This mode work the same as the "// set" command, the difference is that you use your hotbar as the blocks you want to use and the stack size as the "proportion" of blocks.

  • Pressing left click replace the whole selection with the blocks in your hotbar

  • Pressing right click replace only actual blocks and ignore air. If a block is held, it will replace only block corresponding that block.

  • Scrolling work the same as the Selection mode but reversed, meaning "normal" scrolling move the whole selection and scrolling while pressing the Sneak key will extrude the faces)

  • Pressing left or right click while pressing the Sprint key will select the first and second position.

  • Pressing the middle click will move the selection to the block looked at.

Extruder

This mode allow you to expand or shrink surface of the same kind of blocks you're looking at. (Increase or decrease the extrude limit in the config menu)

  • Pressing left click shrink the surface you're looking at.

  • Pressing right click expand the surface you're looking at.

Delete

This mode allow you to either remove blocks or entities.

  • Pressing left click remove all block of the same type connected to the block looked at (increase the limit with the extruder limit)

  • Pressing right click remove the entity you're looking at.

  • Pressing your Sprint key + left click remove all entities in an area surrounding either the block looked at or entity.

Shape

This mod allow you to easily place custom shape in your world, just like the Block set mode placed blocks depends on the blocks currently in your hotbar and their stack size.

Use the Shape menu to configure what type of shape and the parameters.

Use the config: "visualize shape" to render what the shape would look like in the world. (This doesn't display actual blocks)

  • Pressing right click will place the custom shape centered around the looked block.

  • Holding left click will "draw" the shape continuously.

  • Holding Sprint key with either right or left click will replace actual blocks just like the "// replace" command.

  • Holding Sneak key with either right or left click will offset the shape upward, to place the shape from the bottom instead of its center. (Doesn't work with the pyramid shape since it already place it from the bottom)

Replace

This mode is the same as the normal mode with the difference that placing block will instead replace the block looked at with the placed block (the config: "noUpdate" can be used with this mode)

  • Pressing right click will replace the looked block with the held block.

  • Holdingthe Sprint key + right click will replace continuously blocks as if you were drawing.
