Scaffolding Blueprint
by Yukami
Scaffolding Blueprint lets a player copy a scaffolding structure into an item once and place the whole pattern again elsewhere, with a right-click and a shift-right-click.
What it does
A blueprint item records a scaffolding structure. An empty blueprint is right-clicked on a finished scaffold to copy it, and a filled blueprint is placed by right-clicking where the new structure should start. Shift-right-clicking a placed structure takes it apart again, so the same layout can be deployed in another spot without rebuilding it from scratch.
The mod adds one item and two config options. One option sets the maximum number of scaffolding blocks a blueprint can hold, and the other decides whether the blueprint becomes empty after it is used or can be placed again. While placing, red marks a block that would be obstructed, and yellow marks a scaffolding block that lacks proper support, so the player can adjust before committing.
Scaffolding Blueprint runs on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1 and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so the code is open source. Both client and server need the mod, since placement and retraction are handled by the server.
