Scan an Existing Building and Save It as a Palette
Activate the Capture Tool
Run the capture command to receive a scanning tool:
`
/palette capture
`
This gives you a special item that lets you mark two corners of any structure.
Select Your Building Area
Use the capture tool to click on two opposite corners of the building you want to scan. The mod reads all the blocks within that region and analyzes which ones are actually used in the structure.
Save as a Palette
Once captured, the mod automatically creates a palette from the scanned blocks. This palette is saved and can be:
- Shared with teammates using
/palette share <player> - Exported to a book with
/palette bookso you can hand it to other players - Reused later by searching for it with
/palette search
This is especially useful for maintaining consistent building styles across your server or for documenting your architectural choices for future reference.
