Simple Blueprints
by Maxboxx
Simple Blueprints lets players copy, rotate, mirror and paste building structures from a toolbar that replaces the hotbar, opened with the B key.
What it does
The Simple Blueprints toolbar takes the place of the hotbar and offers blueprint tools for copying structures. Structures can be pasted in creative or survival worlds, and a preview shows where a build will sit before it is placed. Blueprints can be imported and exported, so a design can move between worlds.
A blueprint can be shared with several players, which makes collaborative builds possible. Structures are shown as transparent overlays, which helps with precise placement. The mod is a Fabric client mod that runs without any server installation, and it is open source under the MIT License. Files cover 1.21.11 – 26.3 across six release versions, and the latest Fabric file is 26.3-1.2.2 for 26.3.
Key features
Copy and paste
Structures can be copied from the world and pasted back in both creative and survival play.
Rotate and mirror
A copied structure can be turned or flipped before it is placed, so one design fits several spots.
Placement preview
A transparent preview of the build appears in the world before it is committed.
Import and export
Blueprints can be saved to and loaded from files, so designs can be reused.
