Effortless Building Minetest Proposal

[hipuujin]

I would love to adapt the https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc ... -building/ mod for this game. It is very pleasant to use it as it is better than the Edit mode.

Me to! That would be awesome to have even a small amount of the features in that mod. Really puts WorldEdit to shame.

A few years ago I made a mod which made building easier.

It is deprecated, and I don't know if it still works, so I would advise against using it.
I wanted to add more features like scanning patters, building straight lines and more worldedit like features, but I never did.

I am building some thing similar for my own project, but a major bottleneck that Minetest has is that it's still not possible to create custom keybinds. That means that there is a limited number of actions which you can make accessible by simple key press and for the rest you have to either create more items or have the player open a formspec to toggle various options, which impedes the flow of actually building stuff.
Another issue is that Minetest isn't very versatile in how you can display info to the player. Right now I have to rely on custom objects to show what exactly is going on.

WIP mods are generally more prone to crashing, so I'm not too close.



Hi...

Can't we find a way to make the Editor mode simpler? For example, let's add an object to our field, we can actually transform its properties in Effortless Building into many objects. This plugin is very nice, but its absence is very lacking. Undo in Editor is very complicated.

In addition, Editor is not very intuitive, very useless.

Nice. I didn't know about your mod.
I made one to: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=17075

My mod needs something that your mod has: the fill block should be placed at the players feet if they aren't pointing at anything. This removes the need to create scaffolding to use fill in high places.

Not as intuitive as Effortless Building.

While we are listing mods with building tools there is also this: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=14097

I've looked at both mods. Unfortunately it's not as intuitive as I'd like.
