theenigmaman – 5 useful tools for Minecraft builders!

Oh hello sorry about all this awful racking there’s a lot of construction work going on at the moment it’s doing my head in i definitely wasn’t hiding the drains if that’s what you’re thinking speaking of construction though minecraft is all about building and if you love building there’s some amazing

Tools out there to help you so let’s go through five of my favorite tools for building in minecraft shall we alright let’s go the first tool that any builder should get is world edit i’ve used this for nearly a decade and it really is the most powerful tool in the builders arsenal

With world edit you can copy and paste set blocks replace blocks for other blocks or even replace a block with a selection of other blocks based on a percentage you can also rotate flip deform save and paste schematics and so much more you can also create brushes in world

Edit so you can terraform much much easier or just throw down tons of spheres everywhere it’s up to you here’s a quick look at what you can make but please take into consideration this is a really basic example Now the odds are world edit isn’t going to be available to you in survival multiplayer so you’re going to want to create a build world in single player so how do you get those across to a multiplayer world well here’s where the next tool is going to come in handy

Lightmatica allows you to create and save special schematic files which can then be accessed even on a server where you can load them up as a blueprint to build them in survival it’s honestly one of the most used tools for me on randomcraft and almost all of my builds are built in

Single player and then moved across using this tool like matako also allows you to move and rotate your schematic or mirror it and you can also see a material list so you know exactly what and how many materials you’re going to need to gather there’s also a bunch of editing modes

Which i won’t get into here but it’s an extremely powerful tool that’s a must have for survival building especially if you’re doing mega builds moving on the next tool is super helpful it’s called the random block placement mod which well it does exactly what the title suggests

If you want to place a random block palette down it can be really tedious especially if you’re not using like mataka or world edit that’s where this tool comes in simply put all the blocks that you want in your hotbar turn it on by pressing r and then start placing blocks and the

Mod will start randomizing the placement and if you aren’t going to be using the whole hotbar you can set it to a custom range by typing slash r block 3 5 for example and it will only use blocks from slots 3 4 and 5. and as a quick side note if you

Wanted weighted random block placement you can do that too with this mod so if you wanted 60 cobble 20 stone and 20 gravel just put cobble into five slots stone into two slots and gravel into two slots and you’ll get a weighted randomized block placement which is really awesome

Now you’d be forgiven for not hearing about lock tweaks but it’s rapidly becoming one of my go-to tools for building this powerful little mod allows you to change the block reach range you can even set it so you can place and break and pick blocks from over 100 blocks away

You can also create block groups using lot tweaks add as a command or just use the ones that are already in there such as stone bricks to mossy stone bricks or even cracked all using lots week’s reticule select system which is super handy for saving on inventory space

I’m a bit of a nut when it comes to tidy inventories and this helps me get the block i need really fast without having to scrub through that horrible default creative menu and lastly we have building ones building ones adds some world edit like ones into the game that allows builders

To build much faster without having to use commands like you do in world edit the wand has six modes and you can select between them by pressing v mode zero allows you to place a block in nine different positions around an existing block with mode one you can

Place multiple blocks in a row or a column and mode two you can fill between two corners either with a single block or a random block palette with mode three you can fill in connected blocks so you can build height really quickly and in mode four you can connect up two

Blocks with a line of other blocks which is really useful for doing those diagonals that are really tricky and then lastly mode 5 will create a circle from a center block to the radius block there’s also a bunch of extra really cool keybinds to help you out

Pressing i can invert the direction of mode 1 pressing x will allow you to change between rows or columns if you press r you can cycle between randomized round robin or using the same blocks from either your inventory or a shulker that you hold in your offhand

And if you make a mistake you can just press u to undo it and if pressing you was a mistake you can redo it by pressing shift new it’s a really cool little mod that just allows you to do some of the stuff that you would do with world edit but without

Having to remember all of those commands and those are my top five tools for building i hope you like them thank you all so much for watching i really appreciate if you stayed all the way to the end if you wouldn’t do me a favor and just leave a little like
