How to Open the Effortless Building Menu and Select Build Modes

Accessing the Radial Menu

To start using the features in the Effortless Building mod, press and hold the ALT key on your keyboard. While holding the key, a radial menu will appear on your screen showing the available building modes and configuration options.

Choosing a Mode

While holding ALT, move your cursor to select the mode that matches your building project, then release the key to confirm your choice:

• Standard & Angled Shapes: Choose between Normal, Normal+, Line, and Diagonal Line for basic lines, or pick Wall and Diagonal Wall for vertical surfaces.
• Flat & Sloped Surfaces: Use Floor for flat layouts or Slope Floor when building ramps and angled terrain.
• 3D Structures & Curves: Select Cube to generate volumetric areas, or use Circle, Cylinder, and Sphere when shaping rounded towers, domes, and curved boundaries.

After selecting a mode, place blocks as you normally would in either survival mode or creative mode. To return to standard placement behavior, hold ALT and switch back to the standard mode.
