CloudDome Building Tools
by s1metro
CloudDome Building Tools is a Fabric utility for builders, with tools for digging, cloning and inspecting blocks and mobs, plus a creative tab for its items.
What it does
Left-clicking a block with the Iron Rod instantly removes blocks in the facing direction, to a default depth that can be set between 1 and 20 with the setdepth command, which needs a restart to take effect. Right-clicking a block shows its detailed block state. Right-clicking a Redstone Lamp forces it into a fixed lit or unlit state, ignoring redstone signals.
On entities, a left-click executes the mob at once with an anvil sound, and a right-click clones it perfectly, including its current health, spawning the copy at the target. Transferring a chosen quantity of blocks is listed as a use case, and the Final Position and Current Position values support the copy and move tools. The mod is aimed at city building and debugging, and the author describes it as a lightweight, multi-functional addition.
Installation needs Fabric API. CloudDome Building Tools runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.3, 1.20.4, 1.20.5 and 1.20.6, with 1.0.2-beta3 for 1.20.6 as the latest beta file. The code is open source under the MIT License.

How it compares
RGB Redstone Lamps (Color Blocks) is open source under the MIT License, client and server, but published only for 1.20.4 on Fabric. HotbarKeys is client and server under the MIT License, not open source, and published for 1.20.1. Reality City Construction targets Fabric and Forge across 1.16.5 – 26.1.2 and is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, so it covers a much wider version range than this mod.
