Frequently asked questions

How do I get the

Randomizer Tool?

Craft it like you would any other tool in the mod, then keep it in your hotbar. Once it's selected, the mod's randomizer overlay appears so you can configure which blocks get swapped in.

How do I actually start randomizing blocks while building?

Hold the

Randomizer Tool, open its configuration screen, and add the blocks you want it to pick from into the randomization list. Then place blocks normally with Effortless Building's modes active and each placement pulls a random entry from that list.

Where do I add the blocks the tool is allowed to place?

Open the

Randomizer Tool's config screen and add block entries to its list — each entry is a block the tool can substitute in. Anything not on the list won't be used, so the list is what controls your palette.

Can I weight some blocks so they show up more often than others?

Yes — the randomizer supports weighting entries, so a block with a higher weight appears more frequently in the mix. Use this to make one block the dominant texture and others occasional accents.
