Structure Crafter
by hawah
Structure Crafter lets players record a building on a Blackboard and place it in bulk with a Structure Wand, drawing from materials in the inventory.
What it does
A structure is drawn on the Blackboard by holding it in the off-hand and an ink sac in the main hand, then tracing the outline in the world. Adjustments to the selection area are shown with short animations, and the recorded structure is stored with the vanilla NBT format used by Structure Blocks. Structures can also come from schematics mods such as Create.
Holding the Structure Wand in the main hand and selecting a recorded structure starts a bulk build. Materials are recorded automatically, and right-clicking opens a Material List preview showing how many of each block the build needs. A key prompt on the HUD helps with the controls. Patterns and materials can be configured, and materials are consumed from the inventory in survival mode.
The mod requires NeoForge and is published for 1.21.1 only, with the latest file 0.2.9.1 from 2026-06-30. Client and server both need it, and the code is released under the MIT License as open source. The project is still in testing, so backing up world saves before adding it is recommended.
