Nowadays YouTube is full of sensationalist titles like the one you just clicked on but I’m happy to say I can actually back this one up this mod is called Axiom and it’s about to completely revolutionize building in Minecraft during this video we’re going to take a look at three ways this Completely changes the game and we’re even gonna have a quick chat with the developers but first a bit of background for basically as long as I can remember all we’ve had in Minecraft are tools like world edit and archeon and don’t get me wrong these tools are great but They can be very limiting see Minecraft is what’s called a voxel game voxels are basically just the 3D equivalent of a pixel so in the same way that an image is made up of tons of little squares Minecraft is made up of tons of different cubes and so when you make a Minecraft build you’re essentially 3D modeling but you’re stuck working within the confines of the game there’s no real way to zoom out and take control the way you would in a 3D modeling software like take a look at the UI for go paint you need to hold a feather in your hand and Then you get this menu not super intuitive and most of world edit doesn’t even have a user interface you just have to rely on hand type commands but there are plug like Blockbender that allow you to convert objects from a 3D software to Minecraft so why not design something in Blender and then bring it into Minecraft well there are two issues first 3D software is just very difficult to learn take it from an animation student but more importantly it’s because most 3D software uses polygons instead of voxels this means that the objects are made out of little flat shapes that come together To form a mesh now there are some programs out there for 3D modeling with voxels but none of them have ever really played nice with Minecraft and just think about it there are thousands of people in the world who build in Minecraft as their full-time job whether they’re map makers YouTubers or server Owners these people are literally building professionals and they deserve a professional tool for building in Minecraft and it’s finally here for instance if we wanted to create a roof to this building and producer very very easily using the cement tool like this so Axiom opened up for beta testing on August 6th and I grabbed it right away and while I show you guys around I want to tell you the three reasons why I think this is so groundbreaking number one is accessibility a lot of building tools are plug-ins not mods meaning they only work on servers not only that but They’re often paywalled plus it’s hard to even find the commands some of which are buried in 100 page documents that you need a Google Drive Link for Axiom is available in single player and soon will be released for servers too the mod is super intuitive it adds stuff right Onto the Minecraft hot bar so for example right at the end of the Hotbar we have these Builder tools if we hold down alt we can see there’s a move clone stack smear and extrude Tool and if we just select one they’re extremely easy to understand you get this awesome Preview of what you’re doing before you confirm and one of my favorite things is you can just hit Ctrl Z to undo by holding alt you can also save hot bars and switch between the game modes really easily so you can see I have some of my favorite palettes saved right on here And then there’s these little toggleable modes over here that are insanely useful for example enhanced flight gives you more precise flight and creative mode notice how I’m not sliding around this slider here actually controls fly speed we the bulldozer is really fun you can just Kind of hold one of my favorites has to be the replace mode you can just hold down right click oh it’s so satisfying and it even matches the block States and there’s a ton of other useful stuff like this Force place which kind of lets you place anything anywhere but notice how That just popped off if you turn on this Note updates it actually won’t update the blocks either and then last but not least they have this tanker mode which is kind of like the debug stick just super useful stuff but we’ve literally just scratched the surface the Mod really opens up when you hit right shift and this brings me to the second reason I think this mod is such a paradigm shift the visual feedback I cannot stress enough how clunky it feels to build using commands being able to see a live preview of what you are doing is so Amazing it really feels like having a huge handicap removed from the game which brings me to the final reason I think this mod is so insane and that’s all the new tools this mod offers not only does it replace a ton of other mods but it adds tools that I’ve never even Seen before they’ve got a noise painter where you can preview the noise pattern that you’re about to make they have this tool called the contaminator which can make these different patterns and guys this is literally like my first 10 minutes in this program I can’t even imagine what my workflow is going to Look like after using this for a couple months now I don’t want to show you all the tools just because this isn’t meant to be a tutorial so I highly encourage you to download the mod and try it for yourself and join the Discord and give your feedback to the developers so now That we’ve seen a little bit of the mod let’s give the developers a call and see what they have to say hey what’s up guys hello this is SoCo and mulberry these guys are super chill the first thing I ask them is how Axiom got started it originally started with Me contacting mole for a commission to make a mod that enhanced existing building tools such as world edit and voxel sniper I wanted to help him out I started doing some work for him and over time that grew into like a friendship me and Soko are working on uh this you know MMORPG and just the existing tools weren’t there so I could say oh I want a way to do this and so I’d add a way to do that and then eventually got to a point where it’s like okay we have this very useful tool for us why don’t we Just release it for everyone to use and that’s you know that’s where Axion came from as you can see the scale of this is quite large like this Bay over here it’s it’s like another like 1500 blocks over from the city the city’s in that direction like yeah what’s happening and And I’ve made this in like no time basically I so want to see other builders use it just because it changed everything about building for me it’s made it more fun it’s made it more possible to do large projects and I want to see what other people can do there’s A lot of new tools with new algorithms that just don’t exist anywhere else the smooth tool is a good example of one of them because the algorithm is completely different from any other smooth tool the main thing we’re just looking for is people to you know try out the modern Test it further down the road Axiom is going to have a commercial version aimed at like professional Builders so people who are you know creating like Java Edition servers Bedrock Marketplace Maps like those sort of people with you know a few additional features and stuff to like suit their workflows we want to Empower everyone to be able to build easier and better as well as faster so that that’s our primary goal be sure to share it with your friends and let us know what you would like to see from us as well there’s still so much I didn’t Have time to talk about you can see your undo history you can easily change game rules you can create complex masks for your tools you can create complex select sections and then modify those selections you can even make blueprints of your Creations that come with a rendered thumbnail and a tagging system I want you guys to know I am not exaggerating when I say this is about to change building forever thanks for watching foreign Video Information
