Build It Parallel
by OtherCorbit
Build It Parallel is a Forge tool for 1.12.2 that generates parallel lines between placed nodes, with each node keeping its coordinate data.
What it does
A player places nodes and connects them to other ground with lines. The tool stores the coordinates of each node and generates parallel lines from those points, which the author says can help with the accuracy and speed of large builds. The tool was used in a BuildTheEarth project. Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it and players join without installing anything. It is open source under the MIT License, with source code and an issue tracker published, and files cover 1.12.2 only, with 1.0.1.2 as the latest Forge file.
Key features
Coordinate-preserving tool
The tool keeps coordinate data for each point, so lines can be placed again at the same positions.
Parallel line generation
Lines are generated parallel to a chosen path, which the author suggests can raise build quality.
Node connections
Nodes can be linked to other ground with lines, which helps lay out large terrain projects.
