Effortless Structure

Unofficial maintenance port of Effortless Structure, a Minecraft building mod for placing, breaking, copying, and transforming block structures.

Supported Targets

Install the matching jar on both the client and the server. Each Minecraft and loader target has its own jar.

This port intentionally supports only the targets listed above. It uses standard ForgeGradle and NeoForge ModDevGradle modules and includes the required loader-neutral API source in this repository; it does not require the upstream multi-version Gradle plugin or artifact repository.

Features

• Building modes for single blocks, lines, walls, floors, cubes, circles, cylinders, spheres, pyramids, cones, and diagonal variants.
• Block placement, bulk breaking, replace modes, patterns, clipboard copy/paste, undo, and redo.
• Server-authoritative material checks and operations.
• Optional network-material integrations for AE2, Beyond Dimensions, Refined Storage, Sophisticated Backpacks, and ProjectE where supported. Materials can be sourced from a connected network or container as well as the player's inventory.
• Wireless AE2 and Refined Storage terminals can be read from supported Curios accessory slots.
• Stable network-material preview: when the server confirms sufficient network materials, the preview and material panel no longer report a local-inventory shortage.
• Cached previews and throttled server preview checks to reduce stutter for large selections.

Controls

• Hold Left Alt to open the build-mode radial menu.
• Use Attack/Destroy to start a bulk-break selection.
• Use Use Item/Place Block to start a placement or interaction selection.
• Press [ for undo and ] for redo.

All supported targets use the same server-side use proper tools only setting for bulk breaking.

Optional Integrations

All integrations are optional. Effortless Structure launches without them, but matching mods must be installed on both client and server when their network or container materials are used.

AE2 versions may also require their own dependencies, such as GuideME. Optional integrations never become hard dependencies of Effortless Structure.
