Mech Trowel

A easy to use trowel to randomize which blocks to place, but with many advance options if you want it.

What it does

It's got 3 modes you can switch between with R:

  • Quick - Just places random blocks from your hotbar (like other trowel/shuffle mods)
  • Palette - Uses custom palettes you make with percentage for each block
  • Wand - Places multiple connected blocks at once (needs an upgrade item or change config)

Main Features

Palettes - You can make up to 25 palettes with 28 blocks each. Set percentages for how often each block gets placed. Hold ALT to quickly switch between them.

Gradients - You can blend between multiple palettes to create smooth transitions. Has a GUI where you can set it up with different sections and blend modes. Works great with wand mode.

Rotation Settings - Lock blocks to face certain directions, control how stairs and slabs get placed.

Replace Mode - Replaces blocks instead of just placing on empty spaces. You can configure which blocks it's allowed to replace in the config or just disable replace mode entirely.

Wand Mode - Like other building wand mods but uses your palette blocks. Can place up to 64 blocks at once (or 128 with the upgrade). Has undo for the last 3 actions. Offhand can be used to change where blocks should be placed (Like on a grassblock instead of other palette blocks, work with replace too).

Other stuff

  • Works with Create and Copycats+ blocks - you can set the material and properties
  • Works with FramedBlocks - you can set the material
  • JEI, Curios and backpack mods support
  • Finds blocks in shulker boxes and Sophisticated Backpacks
  • Preview wireframes so you can see where blocks will go, and how far along the gradient you are
  • Bunch of config options if you want to tweak things
  • Chipped Auto-converstion upgrade that allows to use the base block from inventory/backpacks if the chipped variant isnt available in inventory/backpacks.
  • AE2 upgrade, allowing you to use blocks from your ME system

Controls

G opens the palette GUI, R switches trowel modes, ALT for quick palette menu.

I have made a seperate mod to make it work with deployers and rollers on trains and contraptions, so this mod dont need required dependencies: https://modrinth.com/mod/create-randomize-filters
