How to Build in Mid-Air and Adjust Your Reach Distance

Normally in Minecraft, you have to bridge out from a solid surface to start a floating build or high roof. The Effortless Building Addon lets you bypass this using its air building mechanics.

Turning On Air Build Mode

1. Hold a book to bring up the Effortless Building menu.

2. Locate the Air Build option in the menu and turn it on.

3. Select your desired build mode, such as a line, floor, or sphere.

4. Aim directly into empty air and click to set your starting point. A live block preview will appear floating in front of you, allowing you to complete the remaining clicks without ever touching a solid block.

Customizing Reach and Range

If your floating build is too close or too far away while using Air Build, you can change how far out the placement cursor sits.

1. Open the Settings menu using your book.

2. Find the air build reach settings.

3. Adjust the reach distance to change how far away in the air your blocks will appear, or toggle the infinite range option if you want to place structures across long distances.
