Convert blocks to block displays

by SuperAnt_

Convert blocks to block displays lets a player turn a selected area of ordinary blocks into block display entities, using a two-corner selection made with the right mouse button.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.4 – 1.21.11

What it does

A player marks the area by right clicking to set the first position and right clicking again to set or move the second. Shift with a right click clears both positions. Once the corners are set, the blocks inside the selection are converted into block display structures, which can then be moved, scaled or edited with entity commands.

The mod is a Library, so other builders and map makers can rely on the conversion step. The server must run the mod, while a client can join without it, and the mod is released under the MIT License as open source with its source code and issue tracker public.

Files exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, plus a data pack for server platforms, across 8 release versions on 1.21.4 – 1.21.11. The latest build, 0.3+mod for 1.21.11, was published on 2026-01-02, and the first release dates from 2025-07-22.

Key features

  1. Two-corner area selection

    The first and second positions are set with right clicks, so the selected region is defined by two points.

  2. Clearing the selection

    Shift with a right click removes both positions, letting a player start a new selection without restarting.

  3. Block to display conversion

    Blocks inside the selected area are converted into block display structures that keep their appearance.

  4. Editing converted displays

    Once converted, the block display structures can be changed further with entity commands or other editing tools.
