How to Build in Survival Mode and Choose Your Block Palette

The Effortless Building Addon is designed to work fairly in survival mode without giving you free resources. It strictly pulls materials from what you are currently carrying.

Managing Your Block Supply

When you preview a large shape like a floor, wall, or cube, the addon checks your personal inventory. It will only place the blocks that you actually have with you. If a shape requires more blocks than you hold, make sure to gather enough materials before confirming the placement.

Selecting Blocks from Your Hotbar or Inventory

You do not have to move every single stack of building material into your active hand to build a structure.

1. Hold a book to open the settings and palette menus.

2. Open the palette options to choose where the addon pulls blocks from.

3. Configure the menu to take blocks either strictly from your hotbar or from your whole inventory.

Replacing Existing Blocks

If you are building into terrain or remodeling a base, you can also adjust how the addon handles existing blocks in your way. Open the settings menu via the book and navigate to the block replacement options to control whether your new shapes overwrite blocks that are already placed in the world.
