Features

🛠️ Placement Helpers

• Directional Placement: Lock your placement direction relative to the block face. Handy for placing logs, pillars, or pistons in specific orientations.
• Diagonal Placement: Easily place blocks diagonally, enabling faster construction.
• Fast Placement: Hold down to place blocks rapidly.
• Fast Breaking: Creative-mode utility to break blocks faster.
• Directional Lock: Lock your cursor to a specific block face for rapid, aligned placements across a surface.

🏃 Navigation & Survival

• Auto-MLG Engine: A high-performance survival system that uses a FallSimulator to predict lethal falls and automatically execute recovery actions.
  • 15+ Methods: Water Bucket, Slime, Boats, Cobwebs, Twisting Vines, Powder Snow, Hay Bales, Bed, Ender Pearl, and more.
  • Dynamic Ranking: MlgMethodSelector ranks survival methods based on health, fall distance, and inventory availability.
  • Precision Execution: Uses the PiggyActionQueue at HIGHEST priority for frame-perfect, anti-cheat friendly interaction.
  • Seamless Handlers: Automatically manages "cleanup" (removing water, jumping off slime) once safe.
  • Auto-Parkour: The AutoParkourHandler monitors your movement and automatically performs jumps for clearable gaps. It integrates with PerfMonitor to adjust jump timing based on current server latency.

📐 Shape & Visual Guides

• Light Level Overlay: Press L to toggle a completely dynamic overlay that highlights areas where monsters can spawn!
  • Island Effect Outline: Drawing inspiration from the best visual mods, the overlay perfectly traces the borders of danger.
  • Tier 1 (Orange): Warns you about areas that are exposed to the sky. Mobs will only spawn here at night.
  • Tier 2 (Red): Highlights deep dark areas (caves, under roofs) where mobs can spawn at any time.
  • Seamless Textures: The outline intelligently maps to the floor and walls, seamlessly combining without any z-fighting or overlaps.
  • Shape Selectors: Detailed guides for placing blocks in specific shapes.
    • Lines
    • Spheres
    • Rings
    • Blocks (Cubes)
  • Refined Placement Logic: Shape placement now follows a sophisticated queue system that respects CPS (Clicks Per Second) limits.
    • Anti-Cheat Friendly: Prevents instant-place bugs and ensures placement frequency matches configurable server limits.
    • Smooth Construction: Blocks are placed sequentially at a controllable rate, making the building process feel more natural and preventing server kicks.

🛡️ Safety & Anti-Cheat

Piggy Build comes with a "No Cheating Mode" enabled by default.

• Safety First: This mode prevents you from using "cheat" features (Fast Place, Directional Placement, etc.) while in Survival or Adventure mode.
• Fair Play: Prevents accidental bans on servers that detect fast interaction frequencies.
• Creative Freedom: All features remain fully unlocked in Creative Mode.
• Server Enforcement: When connected to a server with Piggy Admin, anti-cheat settings are automatically synchronized and enforced.

Controls

You can rebind these keys in the standard Minecraft Controls menu under "Piggy Build".

Configuration

Access the configuration menu via Mod Menu.

• Highlight Color: Customize the color of the shape guides.
• Placement Overlay Color: Change the color of the directional arrows/overlays.
• Light Level Overlay Color: Configures the primary (Red) color for deep Danger areas.
• Sky Light Level Overlay Color: Configures the secondary (Orange) color for Warning areas exposed to the sky.
• Fast Place Speed: Adjust the delay (in ms) between block placements.
• Fast Place Toggle: Enable/Disable fast placement globally.
• No Cheating Mode: Toggle anti-cheat safety (prevents use in Survival/Adventure).

🖥️ For Server Owners

You can install Piggy Build on the server to enforce anti-cheat rules for all connected clients.

• Config File: config/piggy-build-server.json
• Enforcement: Set "allowCheats": false to force the anti-cheat mode on all players.
  • This overrides client settings. Even if a player disables "No Cheating Mode", they will be blocked from using build tools in Survival.
  • Clients will receive a message: "Anti-Cheat Active: This server has forced anti-cheat ON."
