Preview Structures

Preview Structures adds a true Preview & Place system to the Structure Block UI.

Ever wish Java's Structure Blocks worked like Bedrock's? No more blind placements.

Features:

👁️ Live Preview

Click Preview inside any structure block to see a full-size, in-world ghost of your structure at the exact offset. Works with your biggest structures. Press ESC or click again to Hide.

🔄 Top-Spin Rotation

Click Turn: 0° to spin the structure like a top, in place.

✅ Place Where You See It

Click Done. The structure pastes exactly where the ghost was, with the rotation you set. The hologram auto-unloads so it never leaves artifacts. No commands needed.

🪟 Directionally Correct

Fixes vanilla's biggest issue - glass panes, stairs, chests, logs, and all directional blocks now rotate correctly when turned.

Built for Builders

Singleplayer ready

Auto-ESC after every action - just like Bedrock

This is the Structure Block Java should have had from day one. Preview. Turn. Place.

UPDATE: 

1. Preview/Hide and Turn worked with no structure: Fixed.

2. Preview stayed after block broken = save corruption: Fixed.

3. Auto-cleanup on placement: Added.
