toows
by Liofanel
Toows is a Forge tool set for 1.12.2 that moves, copies, extrudes and shrinks areas of blocks in the world without the player placing them one by one.
What it does
Holding TAB opens the tools menu. The move tool marks two corners to define a cuboid, then uses the mouse wheel to set the offset and the right button to confirm. The original area is deleted after the move. The copy tool works similarly: it sets an offset and a number of copies along a direction, and right-clicking repeatedly builds several copies in a row.
Extrude and shrink tools work from a block face. The direction of the face sets the axis, and extrude adds a layer of blocks away from it while shrink removes a layer toward it. Undo and redo cover the last actions, and the command toows help shows a short set of instructions in chat. Toows is published for Forge 1.12.2 only, and the server and every player need it, as the environment is client and server. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Move selected area
Two marked corners define a block cuboid, which is moved to a chosen offset and then removed from its original place.
Copy in rows
The copy tool creates a set number of copies along a direction, with each offset set by the player.
Extrude and shrink faces
Hovering over a block face extends or compresses the area along the axis that the face points to.
Undo, redo and help
Recent actions can be undone or redone, and the toows help command prints brief instructions in chat.
