This mod adds platforms with a range of customization.
You can make decks, bridges, mine shafts, or even wooden coaster supports.
The Platformer
This block is used to make all of the platforms.
Depending on the material used the look of the platforms will be different.
The Platformer uses the ore dictionary to support mod added planks, ingots (must also have a block), and some stones.
The wrench
Right-Click to rotate a platform.
Shift+Right-Click to change the style of a platform.
Shift+Left-Click a platform to remove the rail.
When a wrench is in your offhand the placement overlay is displayed.

To add to the deluge of requests, I would love if you could remove the "platforms are ladders" functionality from the 1.12 version, it was always wonky to me. Then the 1.12 version would be literally perfect.
After all my mods are on 1.14 I'll be working on back porting save compatible changes.
For some reason building a 1.14 development environment messed up my 1.12 one. I don't want to fix it and possibly cause issues in my 1.14 one while I'm upgrading.
In reply to architectadramelekh:
Totally agree only thing I dislike about the mod, constantly going up the edges. Other than that I can’t really play without it, I’d love to see a platform base with an option for rails on both sides, like a catwalk. (I know there’s another mod that does exclusively catwalks)
Love the mod. Any chance you’d backport new updates (additions, bug fixes, and improvements) to the 1.12.2 version of the mod (except for things like waterlogging support, of course)?
When I've got all my mods updated to 1.14 I'll be looking into what can be back ported without breaking save compatibility.
Provided the same amount of available time and no issues, should be about a month out.

All right, dope!
Is there any mod suitable for survival mode that can put a lot of platforms? Mods like Building Gadgets don't seem to support platform tiles.
If it is possible, it may be convenient for the platform mod to provide a similar tool
I don't know of any, and am not keen on adding a tool of my own. (either it needs to work on everything and be balanced as to not be OP in comparison with similar tools, or it only works with platforms thus creating yet another one off tool that must be crafted and kept tack of)
Id rather have Building Gadgets working with platforms.
It seemed simple at first.
Create a ITileDataFactory that returns a NBTTileEntityData, and register it via InterModComms.
Registration worked, and my ITileDataFactory was called, but nothing changed.
So I kept trying things and now have my own ITileEntityData, and ITileDataSerializer
It works up to serialize, but deserialize isn't getting called so its currently working less then the default as I can't even place the block with missing textures :/
I might be able to figure it out if I was running Building Gadgets in my development environment, but it requires a newer Forge and I have two more mods I need to update to 1.14 so I'm not doing that yet.
If someone writes a support class I'll add it, but as it sits support won't be for a while.

Ty!
I have a question about adding items via the config. If I wanted to whitelist all of a particular mod's blocks (in this case, Chisel and Unlimited Chisel Works), would that be possible? Or would I have to manually add the items? Thanks in advance!
Edit: Also, I seem to be having trouble with the wildcards. I have
chisel:block[*]
unlimitedchiselworks:chisel_[*]
Set in the config, but neither mod's items that begin with those words are becoming compatible. I also tried * without the brackets, and leaving it off entirely.
Edit 2: I think I might have figured out the issue - the wildcards work *only* with numbers. Changing the config to "unlimitedchiselworks:chisel_planks_oak_natura_overworld_planks_[*]" worked for all Natura Overworld planks. However, it seems that if the number doesn't come after an underscore, it doesn't work? eg - "chisel:basalt[*]" doesn't work for "chisel:basalt1" and "chisel:basalt2."
Shouldn't need to manually add the planks, as any block registered to the OreDictionary as 'plankWood' is automatically usable.
https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/platforms/pages/supported-blocks
[*] is replaced with increment numbers, starting from 0, and aborts the scan when no item is found (stops it from counting forever)
chisel:basalt[*] becomes chisel:basalt0 but it doesn't exist so the scan aborts.
I should have made it try one if zero failed, but the thought never crossed my mind.
You'll want to use the ranged function instead: chisel:basalt[1-2]
Nested wilds are not supported, so the last number will need to be manually set
I remember not supporting full wildcards had something to do with registry lookup, but its been so long I don't remember what it was, or if it even applies anymore. Would be nice if I could support full regex.
In reply to ShetiPhian:
Ah, that makes sense. Thank you so much for the help! And to clarify, by nested wildcards, you mean something like "chisel:basalt[1-*]* wouldn't work? That's fine. Thank you again!
I like this mod to use the platforms as a roof, it looks pretty, but I am limited to making straight roofs, because the platforms do not fit curves, like when I want to make an L-shaped house, I would like that to be fixed, or added
In reply to andredekai20:
This is something I can add post 1.12
I didn't plan for expandability when I originally coded the mod and have since crammed about all I can without doing a rewrite. As this would break save compatibility it would be done in another version (looks like 1.14, Forge for 1.13 wasn't feature complete)
TE used?
In reply to PhobosAlastar:
Platforms uses Tile Entities to store additional data (material texture references, parts list for renderer, etc.)
As the tiles are for data storage, they have ticks/updates off so they don't cause unnecessary overhead.
Am I able to disable climbing on the handrails?
Hello, I just tried your mod and it works all right, the platforms look great and can be placed easily.
I was wondering though, why are handrails climbable like ladders? They can't be stacked as far as I've seen, and actually this feature kinda defeats their purpose of keeping the player in.
Thanks in advance for a reply.
