SurvivalCreativity
by Ortero
SurvivalCreativity lets a player sketch a build in a local creative-like imaginary realm, then place the finished result into the survival world as real blocks.
What it does
A player switches between the imaginary realm and the actual survival world instantly, so a build can be previewed as a hologram over the real terrain before it is placed. The sketch is worked out in the realm, then built out in survival with real blocks, which lets a player take advantage of the surrounding terrain when placing it.
Inside the imaginary realm, the player gains control over weather, time and mobs, and the realm does not advance the survival world's clock while the player is away, so an AFK player can build there for long stretches. The mod is client-side and works on multiplayer servers without any server installation. Holograms can be shared with other players, and small builds can be passed along through chat.
Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric, or nothing extra on NeoForge. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, for Minecraft 26.2 and 26.3, with 1.1.0 for 26.3 as the latest file. The license is MIT License and the source code is public.
