BlockDesigner 0.4.26

BlockDesigner 0.4.26

Edit a schematic from your game: in BlockCompanion, pick Edit in BlockDesigner on a loaded schematic and it opens here as your project (with Resource Tracker), ready to change.

Downloads

File	Use it if…
BlockDesigner-0.4.26.msi	You want a normal install. It installs for all users into C:\Program Files\BlockDesigner (Windows asks for admin). Installing over an earlier version upgrades it in place.
BlockDesigner-0.4.26.exe	Only for updating from 0.4.6 or earlier: their updater installs it for you. For new installs, use the .msi.
BlockDesigner-0.4.26-portable.zip	You don't want to install anything. Unzip it anywhere and run BlockDesigner.exe.

0.4.2 and later update to this by themselves. 0.4.0 and 0.4.1 need a one-time install by hand: download the .msi above.

Windows Smart App Control: this build still isn't code-signed. On PCs with Smart App Control switched on, Windows may block BlockDesigner from starting after an install or update.

New

• Plugins can open a file as your project, such as a schematic a BlockCompanion game sends to edit. If your project has unsaved changes you're asked first (Save, Don't save, Cancel), as when BlockDesigner closes to update. A schematic opens as a new, unsaved project named after the file.
• The window comes forward when a plugin opens something you asked for in another app.

For plugin makers

• Plugin API 7: PluginContext.openFile(file, done) opens a .bdproj, or a .schem, .litematic or .nbt as a new project, and answers with an OpenResult (opened, cancelled or failed with a reason). ctx.ui().toFront() brings the main window forward. PLUGINS.md, the API reference and the wiki describe both.
