Expanded Building

Expanded Building 1.2.0

This update comes straight from your feedback: a serious bug fix, a way to build without the builder, and support for the mods you asked about. It is also the first release for Forge 26.3.

Fixed: cancelling could destroy your materials

• Cancelling a project while its plan was open for editing returned nothing. The builder and the project were gone, and so were your items. Now everything comes back.
• Already lost items this way? Update and log in. The material was still on record and is paid out automatically.
• Two rarer cases could lose a refund as well: a full inventory in Creative, and a refund still waiting for space when a new plan was started. Both are fixed.

New: build it yourself

Set builderNpcEnabled to false in the config and the server runs without the builder.

• No NPC and no emerald wage.
• Your handed-in material comes back in chests along the edge of the site. The chests are on the material list, so none of them come from nowhere.
• The plan stays visible as a template and only shows what is still missing. Nothing is locked.
• The project finishes by itself once everything stands, or when you cancel it. The chests stay either way.
• Right-click the site with the wand to open the dashboard. While planning, a wand waits in your last hotbar slot.

New: works with your other mods

• Effortless Building (Fabric, NeoForge): build modes, undo and redo work during planning and land in your plan.
• WorldEdit (Fabric, NeoForge): edits during planning land in your plan, and /eb worldedit opens a site on your selection. WorldEdit can no longer write through protected sites.
• Sophisticated Storage and other storage mods can be the material chest. Any block with the loader's item interface works.
• Refined Storage works through an Interface. The Controller, Grid and Storage Blocks offer no item interface, and the message now says so.
• Flan and Open Parties and Claims: no sites and no builds on land claimed by somebody else. Turn it off with respectClaims.

WorldGuard only exists for Bukkit-based servers and cannot run next to this mod, so claim mods do that job here.

New: tools for server operators

• /eb admin projects, here, delete, add, remove and owner manage every project on the server, also from the console. Abandoned sites no longer block an area forever.
• Members can now open the dashboard by clicking the builder.

Smaller changes

• Double chests are emptied whole when used as a material chest.
• Items with their own data, such as named tools or filled shulker boxes, stay in the material chest. The project account only knows item types, so they would have come back as plain items.
• The word "complete" in the dashboard was always German. It is translated now.
• The wiki has been reworked, with new pages on building it yourself and mod compatibility.

Good to know

• Install the mod on the server and on every client.
• Supported: Fabric, NeoForge and Forge for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3. Java 25.
• Your worlds and configs carry over. New config keys are added with their default values.
