Effortless Structure

Effortless Structure is a multiplatform mod for placing and breaking blocks in Minecraft. It offers a set of modes that let players create structures and designs with ease. In addition, it includes a randomizer that randomly selects items from a predefined list for random placement.

Acknowledgements

This mod is a modified version of Effortless Structure, originally created by Huskcasaca. The original author is no longer maintaining it, so this fork fixes known issues and continues maintenance on top of their code.

Heartfelt thanks to the original author Huskcasaca — without their years of hard work, this mod would not exist.

Features

• Pure Vanilla Compatibility: This mod is designed to be fully compatible with a pure vanilla game, adding no new items and making no incompatible modifications.
• Item Randomizer: This mod includes an item randomizer that lets players randomly place blocks and entities from a predefined list.
• Clipboard: This mod includes a clipboard that lets players copy and paste blocks and entities between worlds.

Platforms

• You need to install this mod on both the client side and the server side.
• You can use this mod on a server whose platform differs from your client's.
• The same mod jar file can be used for multiple target platforms.

This fork currently supports NeoForge only. Support for Fabric and Forge is planned to be restored gradually in the future.

Replace

• You can choose how existing blocks are replaced when placing new blocks.

• Blocks Only: Replace only blocks that can be destroyed by tools.

• Offhand Only: Replace only blocks matching the item held in your offhand.

Pattern

• You can create complex shapes by combining different transformers. For example, use "Mirror" to create a symmetric copy of a wall, or use the "Item Randomizer" to build a wall of random blocks. There are currently 4 types of transformers.

• Mirror: Generates a symmetric mirror of blocks and entities, for both even and uneven builds.

• Array: Copies blocks and entities in a specified direction a specified number of times.

• Radial: Places blocks and entities in a circular pattern around a center point. The circle can be divided into sectors, and each sector contains a copy of the placement.

• Item Randomizer: Randomizes the placement of blocks.

Clipboard

• You can use the clipboard to transfer structures between worlds by copying and pasting.
