Welcome to Dire 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. At this time there are four tools, and they are described below. Alternatively, watch the following mod spotlight for instructions!

Usage

For a more in-depth and visual guide have a look at Direwolf20's official spotlights detailed here in Part One and Part Two

  • The Mode Switch hotkey to bring up any supported tools mode selection Gui.
  • The Range Change hotkey allows you to increase the range whilst using Shift / Sneak to decrement the range.
  • The Anchor hotkey to stick / lock 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.
  • The Undo hotkey allows you to undo the last build you executed (The tool remembers up to 10 previous builds and unfortunately isn't support on the Exchanger tool). 

Tools / Gadgets

Building gadgets has grown a lot since its initial release to the point that we have multiple tools for every occasion. Most of our tools a pretty self explanatory but in order to supply some helpful information, each tool has been documented below to give an in-depth understanding of how each tool functions.

Details

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.
