MagicalChalk

by MickDev

MagicalChalk is a NeoForge tool for building and placing structures, with chalk items that select areas in the world and save them as reusable blueprints.

NeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

What it does

Players select an area in the game with the structure chalk using two clicks, then save the result as a structure. Saved structures are kept in the server's world storage, and a blueprint can be placed with a right-click of the Magical Chalk, which replaces any obstacles in the way. Structures can be imported from .chalk, .json and .nbt files, and schematics from WorldEdit (.schem) or Litematica (.litematic) are converted, as are vanilla .nbt structures.

The mod includes a builder for advanced creative mode, the Magic Chalk Studio, and a set of showcase structures such as a hub and an End fortress, which work on dedicated servers, LAN and single-player. Other mods can register their own structures through the API and bind them to existing biomes. Operator permissions govern the admin actions, and a LuckPerms setup can replace the default operator level 2 requirement. The client and server both run the mod, and the interface is translated into English and French.

Key features

  1. Structure maker

    Players build a structure in the world and save it with the chalk tools, instead of writing the block data by hand.

  2. Blueprint placement

    A right-click with the Magical Chalk places a saved blueprint and clears blocks that stand in its footprint.

  3. Format import and conversion

    Structure files in several formats, including WorldEdit and Litematica schematics, are read and converted for use.

  4. Mod API

    An event lets other mods register their own structures and bind them to existing biomes.

  5. Admin HUD

    A heads-up display shows the active tool, the selected block and the current Y layer while building.

Use cases

Server build hubs

Server owners can save hubs and showcase structures in server storage so that players can place them on a world.

Map and schematic conversion

Builders who already own WorldEdit or Litematica schematics can convert them into structures for MagicalChalk.

Who it’s for: Builders and server owners on NeoForge 1.21.1 who want to save, share and place structures in the game. Players who only join a server and build by hand have no need for the admin tools.

Questions

Does MagicalChalk need to be installed on both sides?

Yes. The server and every player need the mod installed.

Which permissions control the admin actions?

The magicalchalk.admin and magicalchalk.use permissions, together with magicalchalk.place and magicalchalk.builder, govern admin actions. Without LuckPerms, these commands require operator level 2 by default.
