Block Randomizer

Build detailed walls, paths, ruins, roofs, and landscapes without manually
switching between every block. Block Randomizer adds tiered Builder's Satchels
that store a custom block palette and choose from it using natural weighted
randomization.

Blocks are consumed normally in Survival, while Creative mode
retains unlimited placement.

Required Mods: Architectury API

How To Use

Craft a Leather Builder's Satchel.
Hold the satchel and press Shift + left-click anywhere to open its palette.
Place blocks or compatible usable items into the available palette slots.
Hold the satchel and right-click a block face to place a naturally selected
item from the palette.
Add duplicate blocks or increase a slot's weight when a material should
appear more frequently.

Middle-click a palette slot to cycle its weight between 1x and 4x.
Shift + middle-click a slot to lock or unlock it. Locked slots cannot be
removed, overwritten, or shift-clicked.

Satchel Tiers

Leather: 3 slots
Iron: 5 slots
Gold: 7 slots
Diamond: 9 slots
Netherite: 12 slots and fire resistance

Crafting Recipes

Leather Builder's Satchel

Crafted in a Crafting Table using 7 Leather, 1 Copper Ingot, and 1 String:

Leather | Copper Ingot | Leather
Leather | String       | Leather
Leather | Leather      | Leather

Builder's Trowel

Crafted using 2 Copper Ingots, 1 Iron Nugget, and 2 Sticks:

Empty | Copper Ingot | Iron Nugget
Empty | Stick        | Copper Ingot
Stick | Empty        | Empty

The Trowel has 192 durability and can be repaired in an anvil with Copper
Ingots.

Satchel Upgrades

Iron, Golden, and Diamond satchels can be upgraded through either crafting or
smithing. All upgrade methods preserve stored contents, slot weights, slot
locks, enchantments, durability data, and custom names.

Crafting Upgrades

Place the previous-tier satchel in the center of a Crafting Table and surround
it with eight matching materials:

Material | Material         | Material
Material | Previous Satchel | Material
Material | Material         | Material

Iron Satchel: Leather Satchel + 8 Iron Ingots
Golden Satchel: Iron Satchel + 8 Gold Ingots
Diamond Satchel: Golden Satchel + 8 Diamonds

Netherite Satchels cannot be upgraded in a Crafting Table.

Rare Template Upgrades

Upgrade templates cannot be crafted. Finding one unlocks a cheaper alternative
upgrade requiring only one matching material.

Place the ingredients into a Smithing Table in this order:

Custom Satchel Template + Previous-Tier Satchel + Upgrade Material

Iron Satchel: Iron Satchel Upgrade + Leather Satchel + Iron Ingot
Golden Satchel: Golden Satchel Upgrade + Iron Satchel + Gold Ingot
Diamond Satchel: Diamond Satchel Upgrade + Golden Satchel + Diamond
Netherite Satchel: Netherite Satchel Upgrade + Diamond Satchel + Netherite
Ingot

Netherite remains smithing-only.

Finding Templates

Iron Satchel Upgrade: dungeons, abandoned mineshafts, and village armorer or
toolsmith chests
Golden Satchel Upgrade: ruined portals, desert pyramids, and jungle temples
Diamond Satchel Upgrade: stronghold corridors and libraries, ancient cities,
and End city treasure chests
Netherite Satchel Upgrade: Bastion treasure and general Bastion chests, with
a very rare chance in Nether Fortress chests

Higher-tier templates have lower appearance rates. The Netherite template is
exclusive to Nether structures.

Repairs

Repair each satchel in an anvil with its matching material:

Leather Satchel: Leather
Iron Satchel: Iron Ingot
Golden Satchel: Gold Ingot
Diamond Satchel: Diamond
Netherite Satchel: Netherite Ingot

Each material restores one-third of maximum durability, so a nearly broken
satchel requires no more than three repair materials.

Repairing uses normal anvil experience costs. Mending can also repair an
enchanted satchel when experience is collected while it is held.

Enchantments

Builder's Reach I-V: adds one block of placement reach per level on top of
the player's existing reach.
Reinforced I-III: provides a 15% chance per level to avoid durability loss.
Variety I-III: reduces excessive repeats while preserving natural clusters.
Conservation I-III: a treasure enchantment with a 3%, 6%, or 9% chance not
to consume a normally placed block.

Conservation only affects regular block items. It cannot preserve buckets,
spawn eggs, containers that return another item, or other unusual usable items.
As a treasure enchantment, Conservation does not appear directly in the
enchanting table and must be obtained as an enchanted book.

Builder's Trowel

The Builder's Trowel is a simpler early-game alternative:

Put the desired blocks into occupied hotbar slots.
Hold the Trowel.
Right-click a block face.
The Trowel randomly chooses one occupied hotbar slot containing a block.

It consumes blocks normally and loses one durability per successful Survival
placement. Unlike a satchel, it has no internal storage, slot weighting,
locking, reach bonuses, or satchel enchantments.
