Grand-Builder

New Construction Modes

• Flying Blocks: textured blocks follow curved flight paths, rotate and settle into their final positions.
• Reverse Collapse: rubble rises from the ground and reassembles into the selected structure.
• Assembly Workshop: industrial construction with a moving gantry, grabber and conveyor belts.
• From Model to Home: a miniature of the selected structure grows, unfolds its walls and lifts its roof before final assembly.
• Orbital Strike: volumetric stars converge into an orbital accelerator, a beam strikes the site and the structure appears instantly. Square shockwaves, raised perimeter segments and flying debris surround the impact. The effect does not damage nearby terrain.
• The four kinetic modes include custom sounds and respect the selected construction speed, including Insane. Import and Preview
• Added Java-world import from folders and ZIP archives, including drag-and-drop support. The mod suggests potential buildings to extract.
• Selection bounds can be edited directly in the menu on all six sides. Buildings can then be saved to the structure library with block and container data.
• Added textured 3D inspection for imported and regular structures, with camera rotation and zoom. In-world placement previews also use block models.
• Prepared structures can be rotated in 90° steps and moved horizontally or vertically. Movement supports 1-block and 10-block steps, with fully rebindable controls, including the fast-movement modifier.
• Improved detection of large and tall buildings, block-palette reading and facade visibility in large previews. Oversized detected areas are offered as separate sections. Controls and Fixes
• Added three placement policies: preserve existing blocks, replace them, or clear the entire site before building. Clearing includes fluids and gaps absent from the schematic; removed blocks and container data are backed up for Undo.
• Added builder tips with a minimum 15-minute interval between automatic appearances. Tips can be disabled directly in the interface, preferences persist across restarts and key-related tips display the current bindings.
• Added a compact slide-out filming tab: infinite invisibility without particles or an effect icon, invisibility removal, time-of-day controls and weather selection. Actions require appropriate permissions. Manually selected time is no longer reset after Clockwork Drive finishes.
• Optimized the schematic library: browsing no longer fully loads every structure, selected schematics are cached and large schematics use more compact storage. Added malformed-file and memory-budget safeguards.
• Fixed short presses of vertical movement keys, including Page Up and Page Down.
• Fixed fences, walls, glass panes and iron bars remaining after dismantling because their neighbor connections changed. Player-edited blocks remain protected.
