Layout

• NOTE: The following controls description seems more complicated than it is. Play with it ingame and it should be fairly intuitive.
• Drafting a new guide:
  • Left-Click to place first anchor; left-click to place/complete subsequent anchors.
    • Before placing the first anchor:
      • Hold CTRL to ignore other guides (to prevent grabbing them by mistake).
      • Hold SHIFT to embed your new guide within the material you are targeting.
  • While drafting a guide:
    • Right-click to backtrack or cancel the current operation.
  • While drafting a guide, CTRL and SHIFT constrain and invert shapes in different ways appropriate to each shape. Tooltips appear on screen with keybind notes for each phase of the draft.
• Grabbing a guide:
  • Left-click any point on a guide to grab that point. You may move it anywhere. Left-click again to place.
  • Right-click while grabbing a guide releases the guide to its initial placement before the grab.
• Constrain/Locking
  • Right-click a voxel of an already-placed guide to lock/constrain that voxel. That voxel should turn red.
  • Right-click an already-constrained/locked voxel to unlock it.
•  Undo/Redo
  • CTRL+ Z - Undo. This undoes your previous action related to guides, including restoring one you deleted, stretched, dragged, etc.
  • CTRL+ Y - Redo. This redoes the actions you took away with Undo.
  • NOTE: Undo/Redo is guide specific - you will cycle through all history of one guide until you select a different guide.
• Reset Shape
  • SHIFT+ Left-Click - Performing this action will reset the guide to the shape it had upon initial placement.

(Most of these commands are accessible through the GUI in the settings page - click the "Gear" icon at the top right)

Regular Commands:

• /layout off - Turns off rendering of all guides to the player.
• /layout on - Turns on rendering of all guides to the player.
• /layout public - Sets you to public mode where everyone can see the guides you place. On a server with Layout installed, anchors in public mode are blue/indigo.
• /layout private - Sets you to private mode where the guides placed while in this mode are visible to only you. Guides created in this mode are saved to a local file independent of the world save file. On a server with Layout installed, anchors in private mode are orange/burnt orange. On a server without Layout installed, your anchors will default to the blue/indigo color, even though you're technically in "private" mode and storing guides locally.
• /layout client push all - Pushes all your private guides to public for everyone else to see.
• /layout who  - Returns creator and last sculptor information for the currently selected guide.

Client-Only Mode Commands Please note these commands use "." and not a slash:

• .layout off - Turns off rendering of all guides to the player.
• .layout on - Turns on rendering of all guides to the player.
• .layout dispel all | <n> - Dispels all guides or within the chunk radius of the player when you are on a server without Layout

Admin Commands:

• /layout dispel all | <n> - Dispels all guides on the server, or within the chunk radius of the player.
• /layout dispel player <player> - Dispels all public guides on the server from the named player.
• /layout dispel guide <id> - Dispels a specific guide. Use this in conjunction with "/layout top guides" to identify and remove problematic huge guides.
• /layout jail <player> - Restricts a player in every way from placing, modifying, deleting, or anything else to do with public guides.
• /layout free <player> - Removes the jail restriction.
• /layout limit <player> <number> - Sets a personal limit on the number of public guides the specified player can have in the world. You can increase this number for your good and trustworthy builders!
• /layout voxelcap <player> <number> - Sets a personal voxels-per-guide cap for the specified player. Want your trustworthy builders to be able to draft giant guides for grand structures? Increase this cap for them!
• /layout totalvoxelcap <player> <number> - Sets the cumulative-total voxel cap for all guides for a specific player. You can increase this number for your good and trustworthy builders!
• /layout info - Returns server-wide guide utilization and other metrics.

This mod was coded using Claude's Fable 5 and Opus 4.8 models, GPT 5.6 Sol, and optimizations analyzed by nVidia's Nemotron 3 Ultra.

The models for this mod were created 100% personally by me reusing all vanilla assets. I learned how to use Blender specifically for this mod.

This mod was posted preliminarily on Reddit for community feedback, including full disclosure of AI use. Reddit post received 1.1k upvotes with an 89.2% upvote ratio.

Negative comments regarding AI use: the community, as far as Reddit is considered, distinctly endorsed and encouraged the release of this mod, as indicated by near 90% upvote ratio. That is why this mod is here now.

Underlying code is pending human-review.

This mod has been tested extensively by me on new test worlds along with my multi-hundred hour personal "forever world". That world runs on a dedicated computer/server with approximately 162 mods. I could not detect a single conflict or problem, even with my console window in view at all times, currently at dozens of hours played.
