Cranes & Construction

The Cranes & Construction mod introduces construction cranes to Minecraft, making the process of building large-scale structures with repetitive elements much easier!

The unique feature of these cranes is their complete modularity - you can create constructions of any length and height, adapting them to the needs of specific projects. The system automatically extracts necessary blocks from your inventory for construction.

How it works

Construction begins with placing crane base blocks to form a vertical column of arbitrary height. When right-clicking the column's base, the system automatically builds it up to the desired level.

At any height of the column (recommended near the top), two specialized blocks are installed - crane cores that serve as the operator's station.

The horizontal boom is constructed from the same crane base blocks - the longer the line, the greater the working radius of the structure.

After installation, climb up to the operator station and activate it via right-click. In the opened interface, the following functions are available:

• Moving around the work area with middle mouse button held
• Changing view scale with mouse wheel
• Selecting construction blocks from inventory in the left panel
• Single block placement with single click
• Continuous area filling using drag method

This system allows for quick and precise construction of extended structures, walls, foundations and other regular formations.
