silly minecraft datapack using the new interaction and block display entities :3
requires 1.19.4+
you should backup your world incase it gets fucked up (it shouldn't but you never know)
run /function miniblocks:grid to spawn a plane of miniblocks where you're standing, with the block you're holding.
also you can do /execute align xyz run function miniblocks:summon to spawn a single mini block aligned to the corner
you can only place other mini blocks by clicking on another
everything else should be self explanatory
- download latest .zip from Releases
- put the .zip in your world's datapacks folder. There is no need to unzip it.
setting blocks that are connected to work correctly (redstone, fences etc yeah)
# it may be possible to improve how connected things look but yeah
