HippoCAD
ModpackA 1.20.1 architectural design environment for unrestricted creative building and structural drafting.
Description

Hippo CAD - Build Everything
Hippo is THE modpack for detailed builds and architecture. Whether you're designing a city, a single building, a living room, or a fully automated factory, this pack combines top of the line tools with a huge library of decorative blocks. Jump into an UNPRECEDENTED level of potential.
Core Tools
Start with the basics: Axiom handles terrain sculpting and large-scale edits. WorldEdit and Buildpaste let you work faster by importing structures and making bulk changes. Effortless Structures speeds up repetitive building work. Framed Blocks and Chisel Bits give you the control to create custom shapes and micro-details that make buildings look real.
Engineering
Use Create to add moving infrastructure, doors, conveyor belts, and automated machines. Security Craft removes clutter. Valkyrien Skies and Clockwork allow you to set props in almost any way possible. Throw in Immersive Vehicles and suddenly you have cars driving through your streets and planes in your skies.
Decor and Palettes
You get access to tens of thousands of decorative blocks and furniture pieces. Streets, roofing materials, interior furniture, signs, lamps, and vegetation. Build whatever style you want; modern, medieval, industrial, fantasy. There's no shortage of pieces to work with.
Cinematography
Shoot film-quality scenes without external editing software. Choose from several shader presets to set the visual tone, and CompBuild Textures gives your structures the clean, professional look you need for renders. Pair Essential Mod's zoom with Chloride's zoom—both bind to the same key, stacking for hyperzoom that lets you dial in perfect framing on distant details. Freecam detaches your camera entirely, letting you move through space independently of your player to scout angles and compose shots you couldn't get otherwise. Once you're in the air with an elytra, Do a Barrel Roll gives you full flight simulator controls—pitch, yaw, and roll—so you can capture dynamic aerial footage with cinematic banking and smooth camera movement. The result: cinematic shots of your builds in motion, vehicles on roads, structures rotating with Create, all captured from any angle you want.
