About this project

What does Just Dire Areas: Better Machine Area Selection add?

Set the working area of Just Dire Things machines by drawing a box in the world.

Just Dire Things machines (Block Breakers, Block Placers, Clickers, Sensors, Droppers and others) take their area as a radius plus an offset, typed into the GUI one number at a time. Just Dire Areas adds the Area Selector. You draw the box you want in the world, then right-click the machine and the mod works out the radius and offset for you.

Features

  • Craft the new Area Selector item (Celestigem Tier).
  • Two clicks for a box. Right-click one block for the first corner and another block for the second.
  • Corners in mid-air. Hold Left Ctrl and right-click to place a corner in empty space, and Ctrl + Scroll to move that point closer or further away.
  • Resize by face. Once the box is finished, look at one of its sides and Ctrl + Scroll to push that side out or pull it in.
  • Apply to a machine. Right-click a machine to give it the box as its area. If the box is too big or too far from the machine, you get a message that says why.
  • Copy an existing area. Sneak + right-click a machine to load its current area into the selector, ready to edit or apply to other machines.
  • Live preview. The box is drawn in the world while you hold the selector, and a HUD line shows its size.
  • Works on servers. All changes are checked on the server, including reach, the machine's size limits and claim or spawn protection.
