Welcome to Dire's Building Gadgets 👋

Sometimes, building large structures can be a little tedious, and take a lot of effort. Not all of us are great builders you know!

Dire's Building Gadgets aims to make building a little bit easier.

For a more in-depth/visual (yet somewhat outdated) guide, have a look at Direwolf20's official spotlights detailed here in Part One and Part Two.

Tools / Gadgets

Blocks

  • The Template Manager provides a visual preview of the build whilst also providing the ability to copy new Pastes into the Copy Paste Gadget.
  • The Construction Paste is an item that can be used to mimic blocks (note the blocks heading 😀) appearance acting as a cheaper or more convenient source of building resources.

Key Bindings

  • Mode Switch - default key G
    • Opens a radial menu that allows the mode to be set, along with various settings relevant to that mode.
  • Range / Rotate/Mirror / Overlay - default key R
    • Decrease the range if using Shift / Sneak; increases the range otherwise.
    • Mirrors the saved template if using Shift / Sneak; rotates the saved template otherwise.
    • toggles the rendering of the in-world overlay.
  • Anchor - default key H
    • Stick / locks the visual indicator to its current position, so you can see what your build will look like before committing. With an anchor active you can right click to build the anchor, or press the hotkey again to remove the anchor without building.
  • Undo - default key U
    • Undoes the last build you executed (max 10).
    • Undoes the last build you executed (max 1).
