Description
Build impressive structures, all in Minecraft 1.7.10 survival!
Many mods provide great tools for quickly breaking blocks, but few provide ways to place them as quickly, and less still are balanced for survival gameplay. To this end, Effortless Building Gadgets was made (backporting Effortless Building from modern MC)!
This mod adds a gadget for building all sorts of shapes in just a few clicks. Hold LEFT ALT while holding the gadget to configure. Crafting recipes are automatically generated if GT or NTM is present, falling back to a vanilla default (with more compatibility coming soon).
It is highly recommended that you play with Baubles Expanded installed. With it present it can be placed in a charm slot, which will allow it to be used and configured while holding any placeable block in your hotbar!
The mod is designed for survival gameplay (and was originally conceived to finally supplant the ever useful but limited Better Builders Wands in 1.7.10). Usage is tied to a gadget that consumes energy and must be crafted to be used, and blocks placed are correctly consumed from your inventory.
Capabilities
Place blocks in all sorts of different shapes, automatically replacing any soft blocks like grass or snow, shapes available include:
- Extended (regular placing, with greatly increased reach)
- Air (Place blocks directly in the air, without the need to make a pillar up first)
- Lines
- Floors + Walls
- Both Filled and Hollow
- Cubes
- Filled, Hollow, and Skeletonised options available
- Diagonal Lines + Walls
- Sloped Floors
- Circles + Cylinders
- Spheres
You can also:
- Undo + Redo up to 64 edits
- Automatically pull blocks from AE2 storage, if you have an active wireless terminal
Will not function with any blocks that place with tile entities, except for special decorative blocks (like ArchitectureCraft/Carpenter's blocks)
Requires power from:
- RF (CoFH)
- HE (NTM)
Planned features
- Cut/Copy/Paste gadgets (+rotation!)
- (When in Bauble slot) use tools like pickaxes/shovels for shape breaking
- Shape breaking blocks placed in session (or any, if in creative)
- Modifiers from Effortless like Mirror, Array, etc
- Chisel compatibility (automatically chiseling blocks in inventory/storage to place)
- More configuration for existing tools (air placement distance, etc)
- Block randomisation
- Support for more power sources
