![]()
A building-assistance mod for Creative builders, map makers, and modpack teams. It supports Minecraft 26.2 on Fabric and NeoForge; major features can be toggled independently and hot-reloaded.
Features
Press O to open the configuration screen or P to open the editor. All keybindings can be changed in Minecraft's Controls settings.
Except for interaction reach modification, which requires server support, all features are client-side.
Primary / Secondary / Temporary Item Color Wheels
- Hold
Rto open the primary wheel; quickly double-tap and hold the second press for the secondary wheel, or triple-tap and hold the third press for the temporary wheel. Scroll to switch held items, then release to close - Choose from three group presets: block type, block family, and color. You can also edit groups, reorder items, and share them through JSON files or share codes
- Wheels adapt to the window size, with configurable target positions and indicator styles; the temporary wheel can use gradient results directly
See the Color Wheel Guide for details.

Block Gradients
- Choose colors or blocks as stops to generate a light-to-dark, warm-to-cool, or custom block gradient
- Select textures from different block faces, replace and lock individual results, and inspect tiled textures or compare results
- Apply results to a temporary wheel, inventory, or permanent wheel group; gradient parameters and candidate palettes can also be imported and exported separately
See the Gradient Guide for details. Color data comes from HueBlocks and needs to be downloaded initially; valid cached data can be used afterward.

Smart Middle-Click Pick Block
- A short middle-click keeps vanilla Pick Block behavior; holding for about 100 ms opens a candidate wheel for nearby blocks
- Choose between adjacent, range, and context modes; context mode is enabled by default

Interaction Reach Modification
- Hold
Gand scroll to adjust interaction reach from 5 to 128 blocks; disabled by default - Requires this mod on both the client and server, with authorization in the server configuration

Connected-Texture Fixes
- Fills missing joining faces on standard walls, glass panes, beds, doors, chests, and extended pistons, plus the four narrow Nether Portal edge faces and the five non-top End Portal faces
- Each fix can be toggled independently, including the exposed joining face left when one double-chest half is removed with block updates disabled

Invisible-Block Display
- Press
Vto toggle barrier and light-block display together; the types can be filtered in the configuration

Dependencies

- Mod Menu: optional, provides a mod-menu entry
