Cranes & Construction

This mod adds cranes to minecraft, making building large repetitive structures a breeze!

The cranes can be of any length and height and are completely modular. They extract items from your inventory to build with.

How it works:

• You get crane base blocks and build a 1x1 pillar as high as you want.
• If you right click the base block of the pillar, it will automatically build the pillar for you as you click it.
• Somewhere on the pole, preferably almost at the top of it, replace 2 blocks from the pillar with crane cores which act as your seat.
• Next, place a horizontal line of the crane base blocks somewhere on the pole. The longer the line, the longer the range.
• Next, climb up the pole and right click the core/seat.
• In the gui, you can:
  • hold down middle click to move around the bottom region
  • scroll zoom in and out of the bottom region
  • select a block to use from your inventory on the left
  • click a block in the bottom region to place it
  • click + drag in the bottom region to place continuously
