A little late but here are the "monthly" UNSTABLE versions beta1.0.2 for MC 1.16.5 and alpha2.0.2for MC 1.12.2 (posted on 11/02/2023)

Well better late then never right? Check out that sweet mod compatibility especially with bewitchment on MC 1.12.2 and the block blacklist file added to the .Minecraft folder for both versions.

Release of Monthly UNSTABLE versions beta1.0.1 for MC 1.16.5 and alpha2.1 for MC 1.12.2 (posted on 27/12/2022)

I call them UNSTABLE because they are quick fixes for issues highlighted by the lovely people on discord, reddit or any other platforms. I haven't done extensive testing on them so they may contain some overlooked issues, hence the labelling as "UNSTABLE" .

Port to 1.16.5 is finally complete! (posted on 25/10/2022)

Besides all the features from MC 1.12.2, it also has shiny new features, such as the new DIG/RAISE, SMOOTH/SHARPEN and LEVEL tools in EDIT mode for terrain editing (see feature list below) but also  some basic features and fixes that, honestly, needed to be in the mod from the beginning.

In the future these features will also be added to MC1.12.2.

Features

If the trailer has piqued your interest, then below you can find a more detailed overview of the features in this mod.

Isometric-Like Camera

Isometric-like camera that can zoom in and out, rotate around a focus point and move around with the normal move keys. It even has the option to show a cut-through of the world that allows you to look into buildings.

Ofcourse an isometric perspective necessitates a free mouse cursor. This in turn allows the HUD Overlay to have clickable buttons.

An expansive set of building tools

An array of flexible tools are available to build structures and edit the world with only a few clicks.
Current available tools are: Single block, Line, Rectangle, Curve, Circle, Pull, Copy, Move/Delete, FillGap, Paint Brush, PaintBucket, Place/Delete Plants
You can choose whether you want the rectangle and circle filled up or not.

Each tool gives a clear preview of the blocks that are added or deleted.

Additional settings give the ability to build vertically without relying on higher terrain.
Current available directional settings are: Free, build in vertical XY plane/ZY plane, build in horizontal XZ plane, follow ground mode.

These tools and settings are available via a quick-selection wheel menu, but also via toggle hotkeys.

Create, Place & Share templates

You can create templates of existing structures with an easy to use selection mechanism.

These templates can be placed into the world with additional settings such as a generated foundation.

You can share your own creation on my website or download other player's creations and load them immediately into your current game.

Edit terrain with easy-to-use tools

Since beta1.0, there are tools available in the EDIT mode that allow you to dig or raise the terrain as well as level entire areas to the desired height. To make more subtle changes to the existing terrain you can smooth it to make a traversable slope or sharpening a slope to make cliffs.

Additional features

Additional quality of life features are: Redo/Undo functionality and an integrated help screen with animated examples.
