Structures
Packet-based structure creation and editing system for Minecraft. Build and manage custom structures in real time using PacketBlocks.
🧱 Structures
A packet-based structure system for Minecraft — powered by PacketBlocks.
Structures lets you create, manage, and display packet-based builds that can be shown or hidden for specific players — all without changing the actual world.
✨ Features
- 🏗️ Create Packet-Based Structures — Build entirely virtual structures that exist only as packets.
- 👀 Per-Player Visibility — Show or hide structures for individual players on demand.
- ⚡ Instant Updates — No world edits or block updates — everything is rendered client-side.
- 🎬 Custom Animations — Add show/hide animations to structures for smooth transitions.
- 🧩 In-Game Editor — Build structures block-by-block using an intuitive edit mode.
- 📋 Copy & Duplicate — Clone existing structures and paste them anywhere with automatic rotation.
- 🧠 Integration Ready — Perfect for developers wanting to display custom visuals, events, or world overlays.
🧰 Example Uses
- Show private or team-only structures.
- Create holographic arenas, minigame visuals, or build previews.
- Display world regions, borders, or effects visible to certain players only.
- Build dynamic event structures that appear and disappear with animations.
- Preview builds before placing them in the real world.
