Engineered Schematics is an add-on for Immersive Engineering that enhances the multiblock building experience in Minecraft. It introduces Multiblock Schematics, these schematics provides an interactive guide when building complex multiblock structures.
This entire mod is based on a feature implemented in Immersive Geology a massive add-on for Immersive Engineering that overhauls Ore Processing that I've been working on for the past few years.
Features
Interactive Holographic Projection
The core feature of Engineered Schematics is the holographic projection system that helps players visualize and construct multiblocks correctly:
Green Highlights: When holding the correct block for placement, the hologram shows green highlighting, indicating where to place it
Red Highlights: Incorrectly placed blocks are highlighted in red, showing errors in the structure
Yellow Highlights: Blocks with incorrect orientation (such as stairs facing the wrong direction) are highlighted in yellow
Automatic Schematic Generation: The mod automatically adds new schematics when multiblocks are registered by Immersive Engineering or other compatible add-ons
Schematic Table
The central component of the mod is the Schematic Table. This block allows players to select and project holograms of multiblock structures they wish to build.
