by moonleay

What it does

Gimbal switches the player between modes in the style of the Vim text editor. The default mode behaves as normal, and pressing ESC at any time returns the player to it. Modifiers within the other modes control how blocks are placed and broken, so builders can work through walls, place blocks in unusual spots and clear large areas without repeating a single action.

The mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with source code, an issue tracker and a wiki available. Gimbal runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Its files target 1.19.2 alone, and the latest file is 0.4.0 for 1.19.2, published on 2024-05-15 on the alpha channel. The mod requires Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, both of which must be installed alongside it.

Key features

  1. Vim-like modes

    Building actions are grouped into modes, and the player moves between them with keys, as in an editor.

  2. Clip fly

    A clip fly mode lets the player move through blocks, which helps when reaching a spot inside a wall or ceiling.

  3. Force place

    Force place allows a block to be placed in positions that would otherwise be blocked.

  4. Bulldozer

    Bulldozer breaks many blocks quickly, so large areas can be cleared in fewer steps.

  5. Suppressed block updates

    An updates option stops the server from sending block updates to the client while building, reducing extra traffic during work.
