Description
A futuristic off-hand glove that projects a hologram of the block in your main hand and builds it in 1x1, 2x2, 4x4 or 6x6, by single click or drag. Delete mode blasts blocks apart and pulls their drops into your hand.
- Worn in the off hand. When switched on, a small hologram of the block in your main hand floats above the palm. It will not switch on if the main hand holds something that can't be placed.
- **Four sizes:** 1x1, 2x2, 4x4 and 6x6. A size is a cube: 1, 8, 64 or 216 blocks.
- **Single** builds one unit per click. **Drag** fills an area in whole units while you hold the button.
- **Delete** opens the hand. Blocks burst apart at once and their drops fly into your hand as particles.
- A hologram box with particles marks the target first, then the blocks appear in a wave.
- Every finger joint is animated: power on, idle, fist while building, open hand in Delete, refused activation, power off.
- Control panel (G) and a small key guide while the glove is off.
- Other players see the glove, its hologram, the aim box and the particles.
Requirements
- Forge 52.1.0+ for Minecraft 1.21.1 (no other mods needed)
- Fabric Loader 0.19.3+ and [Fabric API](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fabric-api) for Minecraft 26.2 and 26.3

| G | Control panel |

Survival and servers
- Survival uses one item per block, refills from your inventory and stops when you run out.
- Blocks that can't be replaced are left alone. Unbreakable blocks such as bedrock stay.
- Every action is checked on the server, including spawn protection.
- Delete gives the drops a netherite pickaxe would give and uses no durability.
