Portable Blueprints
by Nimblonia
Portable Blueprints lets players scan a built structure once, store it as a blueprint item and rebuild it in the world with a single click.
What it does
A player selects two corners with right-clicks, names the area and saves it as a structure. Saved structures can be viewed from a tablet, which also manages them, and a blueprint item is obtained to place the copy in the world. The aim is to avoid rebuilding repeated pieces such as roads, street lamps and houses by hand.
Limits are set with gamerules. Server owners can cap the number of blocks a scanner selects, the number of blueprints a player may store, and the number of containers such as chests and barrels a blueprint uses. Global blueprints can be shared across multiple worlds, and NBT data copying is available to keep block states and custom behavior, but it is disabled by default to avoid duplication issues on multiplayer servers. A placement cooldown prevents spamming.
Forge and NeoForge are the supported loaders. Files cover three game versions, 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the MIT License, which is not open source. The latest Forge file is 2.0.11 for 1.20.1, and the latest NeoForge file is 2.0.10 for 1.21.1.
