Description

Facet

English | 简体中文 | 日本語

This lightweight mod was developed to make learning architecture and redstone structures feel more intuitive for my children. It lets you preview and adjust the facing of functional blocks in Survival Mode. Yes! Setting the direction before building it feels perfectly natural, doesn't it? Every feature has a key binding. Oh, and I added the sound effects my children love. They're seriously cool! Now I'm sharing it. I hope you enjoy it!

Latest Update

Added snowflake and brush markers, warning outlines for budding amethyst and infested blocks, and a setting to disable the mouse wheel during gameplay.

Complete Feature List

  • Holographic placement preview with startup sound
  • Adjust the facing of functional blocks (singleplayer only)
  • Targeted block counting with Manhattan path display
  • Targeted-block outline and targeted-face outline
  • Four graffiti markers (visible only to you)

Rotatable Holographic Placement Preview in Survival Mode
