Description
Facet - Minecraft Block Counting and Outline Mod
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!
