What it does

Builders is a module of BuildCraft that provides the builders submodule. Its blocks let a player place a schematic into the world and have the construction carried out from materials the player has gathered nearby. A Schematic Architect Table is used to prepare the schematics.

Schematics created in the mod can be imported and exported through the Blueprint Library, so a build can be shared with others online. The project ships as a complete mod in single-JAR format, and versions are also available in the multi-JAR submodule format. BuildCraft Core is required and must be installed alongside Builders. Only the server and players who join it need the mod installed on their side, since both must run it. Files are published for Forge and ModLoader across 13 release versions, b1.6.5 – 1.12.2, under a custom license that is not open source.
