Construct

---

Give yourself the tools to ease the survival building process with Construct: an addon designed to help you transfer your builds from creative to survival. Construct offers these convenient features and several more:

• Layered Building: Build structures in layers.
• Block Validation: Highlights incorrect blocks.
• Easy Place: Always places blocks correctly.
• Material Grabbing: Pulls required materials from chests in just one click.
• Structure Management: Create and edit many structures at once.

Important

This is a standalone addon, but it is also a Canopy Extension, which means Canopy can be installed in your world for a few extra features. Download Canopy here!

Usage

Construct's latest release can be downloaded from its Releases Page right here on GitHub. Install it just like any other addon, though make sure the Beta APIs experiment is enabled!

Construct Menu

The main Construct menu can be accessed using a paper item. Using it will open a GUI where you can manage your structures instances. You can create new instances of structures, edit existing ones, and delete them when you no longer need them. There are plenty options available to customize your building style!

Pro tip: You can name the paper after a structure instance to automagically select it when you open the menu!

Adding New Structures

Construct uses Minecraft's vanilla structure system so that you can easily create and build new structures.

• The simplest way to add a new structure to the structure list is to save it using a structure block.
• Importing structures from other worlds is as simple as dropping the .mcstructure file in Construct's Construct [BP]/structures folder. Then, to select your structure in the Construct menu, choose "Other" when presented with the structures and enter the filename (without including ".mcstructure"). You only need to do this once with new structures, since Construct will save them for future use!

Commands

Usage: ./construct
Shows the construct form. Only available while Canopy is installed.
