v2.0 Changelog

What's New:

Semicircle Mode - New build mode with 6 variants: Horizontal (flat half-circle), Arch (standing arch), and Dome (upper hemisphere), each available in Filled and Hollow.

Copy / Paste Mode - Click two corners to copy a region, then right-click anywhere to paste it. The structure auto-rotates to match the direction you're facing. A ghost preview follows your cursor while pasting so you know exactly where it'll land. Paste is queued so every click feels instant. Sneak + right-click to clear the clipboard and start a new selection.

Outline (Corner) Preview Mode - New ultra-lightweight preview that shows only the 8 corner points of your selection instead of the full wireframe. Useful for huge shapes where the full outline would cause lag.

Full custom addons support - This means any block added by another addon with its own custom drops, tool requirements, Fortune scaling, or Silk Touch behaviour now works correctly in Destroy Mode exactly as intended.

Destroy Mode - Shovel & Axe Support - Shovels and axes now trigger Destroy Mode, not just pickaxes. Use the right tool: pickaxe for stone and ores and so on, shovel for dirt/sand/gravel/snow etc, axe for wood/logs/planks. Wrong tool = Will not break/drop.

Destroy Mode - Red Outline - The selection outline turns red when Destroy Mode is active so you always know you're about to break blocks rather than place them.

Destroy Mode - Drops Toggle - New setting to disable automatic item collection during Destroy Mode. Useful when clearing large areas and you don't want your inventory flooded.

Destroy Mode - Durability Warning - The action bar now shows your tool's remaining uses while aiming in Destroy Mode. Goes yellow below 15%, then red with a warning if the shape would break your tool before it's done.

Destroy Mode - XP Drops - Bulk-destroying ores (coal, lapis, redstone, diamond, emerald, nether quartz, nether gold) and sculk now drops XP. Same amounts as vanilla. Silk Touch gives 0 XP as expected.

Admin / Server Controls - Operators now have server-side settings to: enable/disable Destroy Mode for all players, restrict Destroy Mode to Creative only, enable/disable Infinite Reach globally, cap the maximum Infinite Reach distance, and toggle auto-give of the Building Book on join.

Palette - Weighting Modes - Three new ways to control how much influence each block has in the palette. By Amount uses item count (previous default). By Slots counts each stack as 1 regardless of quantity. By Name counts each unique block type once no matter how many stacks you have.

Palette - Source Modes - Choose where the palette reads blocks from: Hotbar Only, Inventory Only (excludes hotbar), or Hotbar + Inventory (previous default).

In-Game Tutorial - Full /tutorial command with multi-level menus covering every feature such as build modes, copy/paste, destroy mode, palette, preview system, undo/redo, and all settings. Also shown automatically the first time you open the Building Book.

Custom Building Book - The Building Book is now a proper custom item with its own texture. Craft it with 1 book + 1 paper (shapeless) at a crafting table.

Destroy Mode - Build Speed Obedience - Destroying now obeys your build speed setting the same way placing does. Set it to Slow and blocks break one wave at a time, set it to Instant and it clears everything at once. The action bar shows remaining blocks while the operation is in progress.

14 Languages - Added Japanese, Albanian, Hindi, Dutch, Indonesian, Telugu, and Korean. The addon now ships in 14 languages total.

Improvements:

Always-replaceable blocks - Water, lava, flowers, all grasses, ferns, seagrass, kelp, nether sprouts, and bushes are now treated as air when placing. You can build through them without needing Replace Blocks on.

Preview performance - The preview automatically switches to dot particles when the wireframe particle count exceeds 200. Selections are also capped at your max block operation setting. No more crashes or lag spikes on large shapes like spheres and cylinders.

Large clipboard preview - Copying a region of more than 200 blocks shows a skeleton bounding box instead of a full hologram while pasting. Keeps paste preview fast no matter how big the copied area is.

Palette block orientation - Stairs, slabs, logs, dispensers, and other directional blocks placed via the palette now correctly face the direction you're looking.

Accurate palette random distribution - Random mode now guarantees the correct ratios across all block types (e.g. 3 equal blocks always produce equal results) rather than relying on pure chance.

Merged undo storage - Operations at or below your undo threshold save to disk (survive world reload, up to 10 slots). Operations above the threshold save to memory for the current session with no limit. The old confusing "Persistent vs Temporary" toggle is gone.

Outline preview always visible in Destroy Mode - The selection outline now shows during Destroy Mode regardless of what your preview setting is.

Outline warning menu - Switching to a heavy mode (Sphere, Cylinder, Cube, Semicircle) while Corner or Outline Preview is active now opens a popup to let you switch preview mode right there, instead of just dumping a message in chat.

Settings split into categories - The settings menu now has a category picker separating Player Settings from Admin Settings so operators can find what they need faster.

Bug Fixes:

Building Book no longer re-gives itself after rejoining - Storing the book in a chest and rejoining would give you a new one. Fixed.

Fixed copy-paste mixed inventory - Pasting with multiple block types in your inventory could place the wrong blocks when you ran out of one type. Fixed.
