Instant Build
by HC-hamster
Instant Build is a Forge technology mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that places large numbers of blocks quickly, with tools for viewing and changing blocks, items and entities in the world.
What it does
A building function menu opened with the B key lets a player choose a placement mode and then place blocks in batches between selected points. Some modes need numeric values such as a radius, which are entered in the matching text box. Marks define the order in which blocks are placed, and a stamp tool repeats a placement pattern in a loop. A stamp is saved under a name typed into the text box, and it must be selected from the saved list and enabled in the main menu before it can be used.
The mod also includes a query menu for detailed block and item metadata, an inspection tool for entity attributes such as maximum health, and access to world diagnostics and advanced world operations. A supporting menu named Aide helps manage marks and gives access to special items such as command blocks. Several functions need commands to be available, so the mod is most useful on servers or in worlds where cheats are enabled. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with 1.0.3 as the latest release from 2025-08-27. The code is All rights reserved and is not open source.
