VertexEditor
by TheWayshOK
VertexEditor, a Forge terrain tool, lets players reshape the ground in a world with brushes, a smoothing tool, a flatten tool and a surface painter.
What it does
Terrain is edited through a set of in-game tools. A brush changes the terrain within a chosen size and strength. A smoothing tool turns rough, uneven ground into a smooth surface in one action. A flatten tool levels an area to a single elevation, so a building site ends up at a uniform height. An eraser removes selected terrain elements and leaves the rest of the area untouched.
The mod is aimed at map makers, builders and server administrators who need to shape landscapes for custom maps and larger projects. A surface painter places blocks directly onto the terrain, and a wall builder raises walls that keep a uniform look. The editing system is modeled on terrain editor software, and the tools are meant to allow changes through simple, direct methods.
VertexEditor is published for Forge only, for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, under All rights reserved. It is not open source. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are currently in the beta channel, and the latest Forge file is 0.2 for 1.20.6.
