Strut Your Stuff Struts Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I connect two blocks with a strut?
Place a strut block, then right-click or interact with it to enter connection mode. Select your target block within range, and the strut will form a physical connection between the two points. The connection will be solid and walkable.
Can mobs walk on struts?
Yes, struts have full collision boxes, so mobs can pathfind and walk across them just like players can. This makes them useful for creating mob farms or contained mob highways.
What's the difference between struts and cables?
Struts are rigid straight connectors, while cables droop naturally between two points in a catenary curve. Cables still have collision and are walkable, but they don't block movement through the drooping section.
Why are my struts clipping through block faces?
Use the clipping prevention feature when placing struts near solid blocks—this automatically adjusts the model so it clips cleanly against surfaces instead of overlapping visibly. Check your mod's configuration or guide for the specific interaction to enable this.
Do struts work with Flywheel?
Yes, Strut Your Stuff is designed to render through Flywheel, which keeps your frame rate stable even when you build large networks of struts and cables.
How far apart can two blocks be before a strut won't connect them?
Struts have a maximum connection range, but the exact distance depends on the strut type you're using. Longer connections may require specific strut variants designed for extended spans.
Can I connect struts to modded blocks?
Struts can connect to most solid blocks, including those from other mods, as long as they have standard block faces. Some specialty blocks may not be compatible—test the connection in your specific setup.
Will a huge strut network lag my game?
Strut Your Stuff is optimized for performance through Flywheel rendering, so large networks should remain smooth. However, extremely dense networks in a small area may still impact performance depending on your hardware.
How do I remove or disconnect a strut?
Break the strut block like any other block, and the connection will be severed. Some mods may allow you to reconfigure connections without breaking the strut—check your specific mod version's features.
Do struts work in multiplayer?
Yes, struts function in multiplayer servers and sync across all players. Connections are server-side, so all players see the same strut networks and can walk on them together.
