BlockCompanion 0.4.0

BlockCompanion 0.4.0

AutoBuild gets options like Create's Schematicannon: speed, order, what it may replace, a radius around you and one
block type at a time. Building with it is also much lighter on your frame rate. For Minecraft 1.21.1, 26.2 and 26.3 on
Fabric and NeoForge, and the Paper plugin.

New

• AutoBuild options: an Options button next to Start AutoBuild (also while a build runs) and an
  AutoBuild section in the settings for the defaults:
  • Speed: 1 to 200 blocks a second (5 by default).
  • Order: bottom up (as before), top down (sand, torches and anything else that needs support go last), nearest to
    you first, or one block type at a time.
  • Replace: keep what is there (as before), replace solid blocks, replace everything, or also clear blocks where
    the schematic has air. Bedrock, barriers and portals are never touched. In survival, what comes out goes into your
    linked chests, and onto the ground when they are full.
  • Ignore air (on by default) and Skip missing: go past blocks you have no items for instead of pausing.
  • Radius: build only what is within 8 to 128 blocks of you, following you as you move.
  • Only build: everything, or only the blocks that match the item in your hand.
  • Changes reach a build that is already running: speed at once, the rest re-plans what is left.
• Server limits: server owners can cap the speed, the radius and what AutoBuild may break (autoBuildReplace,
  autoBuildMaxRadius). Breaking blocks is off on servers until the owner allows it; singleplayer allows everything.
• Ghost distance (Settings, Ghosts): ghosts are drawn up to 64 blocks away by default, up to 256 or unlimited. Big
  schematics stay smooth; the build is still counted everywhere.
• Overlap warning: two schematics on top of each other (the same one loaded twice, say) are drawn and built twice.
  A line in chat now says so once, so you can move or unload one.

Changed

• Smoother AutoBuild: its blocks go down without sparkles, and the ghosts and the build count around them catch up
  a few times a second instead of on every block, which kept the frame rate low while it ran.
• AutoBuild places like the Schematicannon: without updating the blocks next to it, so water doesn't flow into a
  gap and redstone beside the build stays quiet while it works. It is lighter on the server too.
