v2.1.2-test6Minecraft 1.20.1 up to (not incl.) 1.21Forge 47 or newerclient + serverBeta – test server

A planning table for everything you build in Minecraft: houses and castles from style rules, paths, bridges, rivers and canals, fences and walls, terrain and biomes, whole structures piece by piece, and creatures – planned on the real landscape in 3D, checked as a hologram, then built.

⬇ Download v2.1.2-test6 · 2392 KB

Overview

Beta – test server – Test build for the beta test server. Features and values may still change before the final release; please report bugs.

At its heart is the planning table: it shows the real surroundings as a 3D map – tilt, turn, zoom – with the plan on top in full detail. The bar at the top switches the mode: Buildings & shapes, Paths & water, Terraformer, Structures and Creatures. Settings are on the right, the chain of steps along the bottom (Source → Template → Parameters → Material → Output).

Buildings, paths, walls and terrain tools are rules: more than 100 included rules in many styles, each with its own parameters, plus a rule editor for your own. Whatever you plan appears on site as a hologram of real blocks; it is built from blocks in your inventory (free in creative mode) or piece by piece as a job that can be undone.

The basics from 2.0 are still there: the blueprint with its blueprint pages, the shape planner for domes, roofs and spiral stairs, and the measuring tool for capturing your own builds.

Buildings from rules

Timber-frame house, stone house, log cabin, castle tower, castle and many styles – chalet, Japanese house, Mediterranean villa, Viking longhouse, Moorish house … Every parameter shows up in the inspector and the 3D preview follows instantly. Dormers, skylights, accents, decoration and material slots.

Rule editor

Rules as cards, references as wires, live 3D preview. Built-in rules are saved as your own copy.

Paths & water

Path network with nodes and Bézier handles like in CAD: cobble lane, gravel path, grand avenue, boardwalk … Bridges, steps, plazas at junctions, lanterns and benches. Rivers with meanders and waterfalls, canals with towpath and locks.

Fences & walls

“Enclose” puts a fence or wall around the plan; gates with Shift-click. Wooden and picket fence, hedge, dry-stone wall, iron railing, palisade, castle wall with wall walk and towers, and more.

Terraformer

Level, hills, hollows, terraces, cliffs, lakes, rivers, canals, tunnels, vegetation – with a before/after preview on the map. Runs as a job with progress, pause and undo.

World generation & biomes

Scatter trees, plants, rocks and structures from vanilla and mods over an area as templates; the biome changer turns an area into another biome, optionally including ground and vegetation.

Creatures & traders

Plan any creature from vanilla and mods with traits, stats, equipment and pose, and spawn them singly, scattered or along paths. With Kobase Traders you can set up a trader right at that spot.

Holograms

Buildings, structures, paths, fences and terrain changes appear translucent in the world before building – to walk around, or to build by hand.

Canals (new in 2.1.2)

A constant water level and navigable throughout, tunnels through hills, clearance above the water (trees and overhangs are cleared), old builds in the way are removed. Locks as gates, boat lift or operated locks with controller, canal terminal and a remote with a map. Every surface – bed, walls, coping, towpath, railings, lamps – can be styled freely.

Material list & one button (new in 2.1.2)

Before building, the table shows what is needed and what is missing from your inventory; one main button starts, resumes or applies changes. While a job runs, the table and the display above the hotbar show its progress – if material is missing, it pauses and names the missing blocks.

Reset all (new in 2.1.2)

One button empties a blueprint's whole plan – building with anchor and measuring points, paths, canals, fences, Terraformer, structure assembly and creatures, including holograms and material lists. Click twice to confirm; what's already built stays. “Clear mode” only empties the current mode.

Structures with thumbnails (new in 2.1.2)

The gallery shows every piece as a 3D thumbnail, also on servers far from the world origin; end cities offer every vanilla transition (towers on roofs, the ship). Structures of other mods are recorded in the background only when opened.

Far map (new in 2.1.2)

Zoomed out, the map shows the terrain in a simplified form with biome colours from a cache – even far beyond the loaded chunks, without slowing the server.

Blueprint, shape planner, measuring tool

Blueprint pages with a movable preview, domes/spheres/roofs/spiral stairs, measure your own builds and save them as .nbt in the blueprints/ folder.

Guide

The guide goes through the tools one by one. All pictures are real screenshots from Architect Blueprints 2.1 (game language English).

New in 2.1.2: canals, locks & material list

Draw the canal in the Terraformer (tool Canal) or under Paths & water as a network. The preview gives the water level and whether the canal is navigable throughout; where the ground rises, the canal adds locks. Operated locks fill and drain their chamber and open the gates at the push of a button – at the lock controller, the canal terminal or with the remote. For every job the table shows the material list (available / needed) and the progress.

Planning table & modes

Open the planning table with the blueprint (page Shape planner, right-click). The map shows the real world; the mode bar at the top switches between the tools, and the chain of nodes at the bottom leads step by step to the result.

The planning table: the mode switch at the top (buildings & shapes, paths & water, Terraformer, structures), the real surroundings as a 3D map with the planned building in full detail, the inspector on the right and the chain of steps below.

Buildings & styles

In the Buildings & shapes mode you pick a template from the gallery – a basic shape or a building rule – and adjust it in the inspector. Styles bring their own palettes; material slots replace single blocks with blocks from your inventory.

The template gallery shows basic shapes and every building rule set as a real 3D thumbnail. Filter by source (Kobase, Vanilla, Mods) and style at the top; click to choose, click again to open the parameters.

Timber-frame house: every parameter of the rule set appears automatically in the inspector, folded by section (size, facade, roof, castle, accents, decoration). Every change rebuilds the 3D preview at once.

Stone house: every parameter of the rule set appears automatically in the inspector, folded by section (size, facade, roof, castle, accents, decoration). Every change rebuilds the 3D preview at once.

Log cabin: every parameter of the rule set appears automatically in the inspector, folded by section (size, facade, roof, castle, accents, decoration). Every change rebuilds the 3D preview at once.

Castle tower: every parameter of the rule set appears automatically in the inspector, folded by section (size, facade, roof, castle, accents, decoration). Every change rebuilds the 3D preview at once.

Castle: every parameter of the rule set appears automatically in the inspector, folded by section (size, facade, roof, castle, accents, decoration). Every change rebuilds the 3D preview at once.

Styles and origins: the same grammar with the palettes of different styles – alpine chalet, Japanese house, Mediterranean villa, Viking longhouse and Moorish house side by side.

Roof windows: dormers on the gable roof and gable windows, count and size adjustable. Everything stays symmetric.

Skylights instead of dormers: flat glass windows in the roof surface, here on a hip roof.

Accents and decoration as toggles: quoins, string course, sills and lintels; shutters, flower boxes, lanterns, balcony, ivy, chimney, garden fence.

Material slots: every rule set names its slots (wall, base, frame, roof, glass, door, floor, accent). Empty means the style's default; click or scroll to pick blocks from the inventory.

Rule editor

All buildings, paths, walls and terrain tools are rules. The editor shows how a rule is put together, and you can change it or create new ones.

Paths, rivers & canals

In the Paths & water mode you draw a network of nodes and curves. The type (path, river, canal, fence) and the path rule decide what gets built; bridges, steps and plazas appear automatically.

Drawing paths: click places a node, clicking the curve inserts one, drag moves, Shift-drag or the wheel changes the height, right-click deletes, Ctrl-click connects. The preview shows the path's real blocks.

CAD curves: the selected node shows its Bézier handles (diamonds). Modes automatic, smooth, symmetric and corner; Alt-drag breaks the symmetry, double-click toggles automatic/corner. The inspector shows lengths and angles.

Path styles as rule sets: cobble lane, gravel path, grand avenue, boardwalk and the paths of every style, with material swatches. Filter by style like buildings.

Path settings from the rule set: width, curve roundness, terrain (follow, smooth, level), bridges and tunnels, lamps with spacing and side, benches, flowers, plazas at junctions.

Junctions become round plazas with a mosaic, lamps and signposts in the widest gap between the paths.

Over water and ravines the path builds a bridge with deck, railings and pillars by itself; slopes get stairs and slabs, embankments are blended in.

Rivers are drawn with the same network (blue). The Terraformer shapes and builds them – meanders, banks and a downhill course.

Canals (turquoise) are straight by default; curves only where handles are dragged. Built with walls, towpath and locks by the Terraformer.

Fences & walls

Fences and walls use the same network editor, as a closed line around a plot or drawn freely.

Enclosures with nodes: "Enclose" puts a closed fence or wall around the planned building; gates by Shift-clicking the line (gate, double gate, arch, portcullis, opening). Corners sharp or rounded.

Fence and wall styles as rule sets: wooden fence, picket fence, hedge, dry-stone wall, brick wall, iron railing, palisade, castle wall with wall walk and towers, bamboo, and the walls of every style.

Three enclosures, built: hedge, picket fence and dry-stone wall – each with a gate, posts at the nodes, following the ground without gaps.

Terraformer

The Terraformer shapes terrain: pick a tool, set the area or line with nodes, adjust the parameters. The map shows beforehand what will change; starting it creates a job that works piece by piece and can be undone.

Before/after preview right on the map: removed blocks red, added green, water blue, the blend zone lighter. Two points span the lake, three or more a polygon.

The height-difference view shows per column how much is raised (green) or lowered (red). Every parameter of the tool's rule set appears in the inspector.

Terraces on a slope, with retaining walls and a soft blend into the surrounding terrain – nothing ends in a one-block step.

Rivers are drawn with the network editor (nodes, Bézier handles); the Terraformer digs a bed with meanders and banks, keeps the water flowing downhill and adds waterfalls where the terrain drops.

Canals: straight basins with walls and a towpath, a constant water level per section and locks where the terrain changes height.

Before: the meadow where the lake is going to be.

Shaping the terrain starts a job: it runs piece by piece in loaded chunks, shows its progress and can be stopped and undone.

After: the lake with beach and reeds, its shore blended softly into the surroundings.

World generation & biomes

Under Vanilla and Mods the building blocks of world generation are ready as templates. The biome changer sets another biome on an area.

Everything the world generates naturally – trees, plants, rocks, structures, biomes – is available as a preset under Vanilla and Mods; mod content shows up automatically, filtered by mod and category.

A world-gen preset scattered over an area: count, seed ("re-roll"), rotation and mirror. The server computes the preview – it matches the later result exactly.

The biome changer: select an area with nodes, pick a biome by its colour swatch; the map shows the affected 4×4×4 cells. "Adapt ground" repaints soil and plants to match.

After: a cherry grove in the middle of the meadow – grass and foliage colours, ground and trees of the new biome, cleanly bounded.

Structures

In the Structures mode you assemble structures from their real pieces – by hand at the connection points, or automatically like world generation does.

End city piece by piece: open connector nodes glow on the map; a click shows what fits there as a green preview (red = overlap). The wheel switches piece and variant, R turns, clicking again attaches.

Auto-grow: like world generation, but as a preview (light blue) – take it, re-roll or discard. The tree in the inspector lists every piece; each can be removed or swapped for a variant.

Shipwrecks from halves: bow and stern snap together at the hull node – upright, sideways or upside down, weathered as variants.

Growing a village: streets and houses grow from the village centre by the structure's jigsaw rules – reproducible by seed, then adjustable piece by piece, built or saved as a blueprint.

Creatures & traders

The creature designer plans what spawns where – with a preview of the real creature, placement on the map and ghosts in the world. If Kobase Traders is installed, the Place tab has a Trader section: “Create trader here…” opens the trader editor for the first planned spot.

The creature designer: every spawnable creature on the left (vanilla and mods, by category, with search), the real creature in full 3D detail in the middle – turn, zoom, a grass block for size and colour swatches for quick changes – and its parameters on the right.

Every creature gets its own traits: region, profession and level for a villager; colours and patterns for horse, cat, sheep, tropical fish, axolotl, frog, panda and many more. "Dice" mixes them up.

Stats: name, baby, no AI (statue), invulnerable, never despawn, leash to a fence, tamed – plus attributes such as health, speed and damage (capped by the server) and effects with level and duration.

Armor stand with arms, without base plate and posed: every limb has sliders for all three axes. Equipment comes from a list of typical items or from your own inventory.

Placement: single at a point, scattered over the planning table's area (count or density, minimum distance, herds) or along a path network (every n blocks, side offset). Mixes with shares and presets such as "Farm herd", "Village set" or "Aquarium mix".

Before spawning, every planned spot shows up in the world as a ghost (translucent model with a frame). The server checks permissions, limits and ground, then spawns exactly there – one click on "Undo" removes them again.

The spawned farm herd: each group one kind of animal from the mix, exactly on the planned spots (sheep get their own wool colour each).

Holograms & building

As long as you hold the blueprint, the world shows every plan as a hologram of real blocks. Building starts from the table's output step.

Before: the plan as a see-through hologram of real blocks on the site – you can also build it by hand.

After: the same house built. It is paid with blocks from the inventory (free in creative); windows, doors, stairs and decoration sit exactly as planned.

Hologram in the world: the planned structure (here the grown village) appears see-through in real blocks while you hold the blueprint – walk the site before anything is built.

Paths and enclosures show up as holograms on site too: a lane with lamps and a dry-stone wall, not yet built. Whatever is already built drops out of the hologram.

Terrain changes as a hologram: what is removed red, what is added green, water blue – right in the landscape, before the job starts.

Blueprint, shape planner & measuring tool (from 2.0)

Use Shift + mouse wheel to flip through the blueprint's pages: blueprints, shape planner and measuring tool.

Blueprints from 2.0: Shift + wheel pages through them, the saved structure appears as a preview in front of you, right-click pins it, right-click again builds.

The shape planner: domes, spheres, roofs and spiral stairs as a hologram in the world, set up on the planning table.

The measuring tool: click two corners and a height; the planning table takes over the measurements, and the measured box can be captured as a blueprint.

Shape planner: hip roof (13 × 9), gable roof (11 × 9, gable filled with material B), dome (13) – all with detail “stairs — **Shape planner**: **hip roof** (13 × 9), **gable roof** (11 × 9, gable filled with material B), **dome** (13) – all with detail “stairs” – and a **cone roof** with “slabs”; material A stone bricks, B dark oak.Rendered from the mod's shape generator with the vanilla block models – not a screenshot
