Archicraft is an automatic building and decoration mod for Minecraft 1.12.2.
The mod have (5 planned, 4 fully implemented and another partially) different architectural styles with buildings and streets for all kind of purposes. All of them are empty, so you can decorate them at will and adapt the building for your needs.
Architectural styles
-Bio: Natural. Mostly birch and acacia planks with a little of clay and concrete in green and white colors. Inspired by Anno 2070 Ecos
-Arch: Tecnologic and futuristic. Mostly concrete and glass in white and blue colors. Inspired by futuristic designs and Arcology.
-Luxark: Luxury, perfection and decoration. Concrete and glass in yellow, orange and white. For mid or lategame. Bigger buildings and decoration at higher cost. Inspired by Art Deco, International Style and Bauhaus Style.
-Alqaz: Desertic, decorated, andalusi/arabesque. Mostly sandstone and clay with a bit of water, gardens, acacia and concrete in earth colors.
-Okeanos: Artificial islands and subacuatic bases. Mostly concrete and glass in white and blue colors. For late game. Inspired by Arcology and Subnautica.
Building process
This mod was created to help the building process, so this is very easy. You only need to craft a token of the wanted architectural style, craft the block of the build you want, one chest and the required materials.
Tokens
Bio, Arch, Luxark, Alqaz and Okeanos
Each craft yields 4 tokens.
Build
When you have the block of the building (see the pictures for the recipes), put it in the place you want and a chest on the opposite side to the building. One important thing to know is that the block is on the bottom left corner of the building.
Once you put the chest, you can see the area of construction, the middle of it and, for the Okeanos style, the part that should be underwater. (You have to see the building block to see the area)
Then, put the materials in the chest and the block will get it. The GUI of the block will show the number of required materials and the number already in the block.
When the block have all the required materials, it start to build layer per layer until ends and then, destroys itself.
Two things to keep on mind is that the number of materials needed is less than if you build it, and it accept any type of multitype blocks like wood or planks, even from mods.
Creative
If you want to try/see the build, you can put a bedrock block in the first slot of the chest to start the building process.

If you want to see the To-Do for future versions, images of the buildings I'm actually doing and more, see my Patreon.
Is there a way to build longer streets in one go?
In reply to StormbringerGT:
No, sorry. The best way is build them backwards, so you don't have to destroy part of them to put the chest and the builder block.
In reply to Alfomega_luos:
Yup that's what I've been doing! :)
What an amazing mod that goes very nicely with Minecolonies, Ancient Warfare and other civilization building mods! Putting this in my mod pack ASAP!
In reply to StormbringerGT:
I'm glad you like it.
You can add it to your own modpack so you can decorate and use the buildings for your purposes.
This mod looks great. I'm playing on 1.14 atm, but may play a 1.12.2 game just to play this mod. Are there any plans to port to 1.14.3? Regardless, keep up the great work!
In reply to memacey:
Yes, I will port it to the nexts versions when I finish with the five styles.
The new update look's great. A nice feature would be to be able to change the wood types and glass colours from the buildings in the builder block.
In reply to igorsstaker:
First of all, i'm glad you like it.
Second, you aren't the first who suggest that so I could add a block that let you customize the colors of the concrete, terracotta, glass, etc.
If I finally add that, would be at the end, after all of the styles.
Could the buildings be changed to accept ore dictionaried sand and gravel? I'm using Underground Biomes which adds many new types of stone, gravel, and sand.
In reply to WenXin2:
I didn't play with mods that add gravel or sand, so I forget to add that two. It's easy to add, so it will be in the next version.
Thanks for the suggestion.
In reply to Alfomega_luos:
Thanks!
Amazing mod, waiting to see more :)

Wow! I love the design you have going on here! Top notch, keep up the good work!
Feature Request: preview of building once Token Building Block placed, so that it's easier to place the buildings with a regard to other structures around in the area.
