In this datapack you can:
📏 Use the Laser rangefinder if you want to know the distance between you and a block (Right-click button)
🎨 Use the Spray paint can if you want to paint any surface to replace blocks without having to break them first (Right-click button)
⛏️ Use the Spray paint can again to remove blocks, replacing them with air
- You can filter the blocks to be replaced
- Grasses and plants are not considered 'solid' blocks by this datapack
- Changes to block IDs must be made with a code/text editor (Notepad++, Sublime Text, ...) in the datapack folder:
.minecraft\saves\<yourmap>\datapacks\Handy Toolbox\data\tools\function\collisions\block\wall\brush
⚠️The resource pack is required for the skins on these new tools to be applied
Give commands:
- Laser rangefinder
/function give:laser_rangefinder
- Spray paint can
/function give:spray_paint_can
Consider that this data pack is open to improvement. I'm open to suggestions on adding new features.
