Builder's Guides Mod 1.12.2, — Reference

Items and Blocks

The mod adds a minimal set of items and blocks, focusing on high functionality through different modes and card types.

The Marker

The Marker is the central block of the mod. Once placed in the world, it acts as the anchor for all visual guides. It has a hollow center where the currently active Marker Card is displayed.

• Placement: Can be placed on any solid surface.
• Interaction: Right-click with a Marker Card to insert it. Shift-right-click with a Mallet (in Wrench Mode) to remove the card.
• Rotation: Can be rotated using the Mallet to change the orientation of the guides it produces.

The Mallet

The Mallet is the primary configuration tool. It does not have a GUI; instead, it uses different "Modes" to interact with the Marker. Players must bind a key (default is often 'M') in the Minecraft controls menu to cycle through these modes.

Marker Cards

Marker Cards define what the Marker will display. There is only one craftable card: the Blank Marker Card. To turn it into a specific guide card, the player must Shift-Right-Click on the ground while holding the card to cycle through the available types.

Crafting Recipes

All items in Builder's Guides are relatively inexpensive, allowing for early-game use.
