BlockCompanion 0.3.0
BlockCompanion 0.3.0
The server can now build a schematic for you from your linked chests, easy place can place the blocks around you by
itself, and the stick's controls are simpler, with a panel that shows them. For Minecraft 1.21.1 and 26.3 on Fabric and
NeoForge, 26.2 on Fabric, and the Paper plugin.
New
- AutoBuild: when your linked chests hold everything a placement still needs, Start AutoBuild in the schematic
screen's Resources step has the server build it, block by block and layer by layer from the bottom, taking each
block's item out of your chests as it goes. Hover the button to see what is short. It never breaks a block (a wrong
one is skipped and counted), pauses when an item runs out (refill and press Resume), and shows its progress on
the action bar. In creative it needs no chests. It runs on the server: always in singleplayer, and with the mod or
the Paper plugin on a server, where the owner can switch it off (allowAutoBuild) and decide who may use it. - Auto place (off by default, in the settings or on a key you choose): the missing blocks within reach place
themselves from what you carry, bottom layer first and nearest first, turned the right way. 4 blocks a second by
default, up to 20; a BlockCompanion server can cap or switch it off. - Tool panel: while the stick is in hand, a panel like the info panel (bottom right) shows the tool's mode and its
controls. Move or resize it in the HUD editor, or switch it off in the HUD settings. - View key (V): cycles the schematic you look at through everything, layers up to here, this layer only, only this
schematic and hidden. Undo steps back through it. - Move the selection: the cyan save box moves with the same scroll as a schematic's box.
- Edit in BlockDesigner on a placement opens it in BlockDesigner as its project; the placement then follows your
changes live where it stands.
Changed
- New stick controls, with the stick in hand while you look at a box:
- Shift+scroll does the mode: Move or Mirror (the selection only moves).
- Ctrl+scroll turns it 90°.
- Ctrl+Shift+scroll switches between Move and Mirror.
- Alt+left-click and Alt+right-click set the selection's corners.
- Shift+right-click clears the selection.
- Ctrl+right-click a chest links it; again unlinks it.
- Plain scrolling changes the hotbar as usual. All of these can be changed in the settings.
- Fewer modes: only Move and Mirror are left; layers and show / hide moved to the view key.
- Quieter building: no more chime for correct blocks, only a few sparkles. The low note for a wrong block plays at
most every few seconds. - Linked chests are read when you close them and kept until you open them again; what AutoBuild and easy place
take out comes off by itself. On a BlockCompanion server the server reads them when you close them. - Easy place never clicks a block that is already there or the same spot twice in a row, places doors and beds
from their lower half, and no longer keeps flapping doors or opening chests inside a schematic while you hold
right-click. - The J key is gone: the server's shared schematics are on the schematic screen's Source step.
Fixed
- The Resources page no longer drops the frame rate with linked chests: the list, the chest totals and the
AutoBuild check are worked out only when something changes, not on every frame. - Linked chests on a server now update after you close them (before, only linking, restocking and AutoBuild did).
