Other mods and servers
The mods, plugins and server setups BuildPrint works with, and what each one adds.
BuildPrint needs Fabric API on Fabric, and nothing else on NeoForge. Everything on this page is optional: when one of these is there, BuildPrint uses it.
In your game #
| Mod | What BuildPrint does with it |
|---|---|
| Mod Menu | On Fabric, opens BuildPrint's settings from the mod list. Without it they open from the BuildPrint menu and with /buildprint config. |
| Sodium | Runs next to it. |
| Iris and shader packs | The ghost shows under shader packs. See The ghost. |
| Sorted | The material list counts what is in your chests and lights those chests up, the gather card includes them, and containers are checked against what Sorted has seen. See With Sorted. |
| Bobby | Saving past your render distance on a server also reads the chunks Bobby remembers, without the entities in them. See Big saves. |
| Litematica | Can be installed next to BuildPrint. Both read the same schematics/ folder, and BuildPrint can bring your Litematica placements over. See Coming from Litematica. |
| Axiom | Paste goes through Axiom on servers that have it. Axiom .bp blueprints open with or without Axiom installed. |
| ViaFabricPlus or ViaFabric | An Axiom paste also works on a server of an older Minecraft version. See How it pastes. |
| Tweakeroo | Works next to it. While the printer runs, the Tweakeroo features that would swap or place over it are held back, and the printer waits while Tweakeroo's Free Camera is on. Your Tweakeroo settings stay as they are. See With Tweakeroo. |
On the server #
BuildPrint runs in your game only, so it works on any server: vanilla, Fabric, NeoForge, Paper, Spigot or Purpur, on its own or behind a proxy such as Velocity or BungeeCord. Some things on the server add to it. For the shulker box and backpack mods it does not matter whether you also have them in your game. Why the printer can work differently from one server to the next is on The printer on different servers.
| On the server | What BuildPrint does with it |
|---|---|
| VoxelSprout Policy | The server's rules for BuildPrint: what is allowed, and limits for the printer and paste. Paste and Fill containers are done by the server, quickly and without operator status. Takes blocks out of the shulker boxes you carry without a screen opening, and exact placement. The admins can turn each of these off. See Servers. |
| Axiom | Paste through Axiom. See How it pastes. |
| WorldEdit or FAWE | Paste through WorldEdit. With FAWE the build goes up in one piece, which is much faster. |
| Servux | Exact placement: blocks land turned right without your view turning. |
| Carpet with carpet-extra | The same, when carpet-extra's accurateBlockPlacement is on. |
| Take It Out | With Take from carried boxes on, blocks come out of a shulker box you carry without a screen opening. Also as a Paper plugin. |
| Shulker Pick Block | The same. The block goes into an empty slot of your hotbar. |
| Quick Shulker (Multi) | BuildPrint opens the shulker box you carry through it, takes the blocks and closes it. You do not see the box open. |
| Builder's Shulkers | The same as Quick Shulker. |
| AxShulkers, and other plugins that open a shulker box from your hand | BuildPrint holds the box for a moment, opens it, takes the blocks and puts it back. |
| Traveler's Backpack | Blocks come out of a backpack you carry. Opening it straight from your inventory needs the server's allowOpeningFromSlot. Without it, BuildPrint opens it from your hand. |
| Sophisticated Backpacks | Blocks come out of a backpack you carry, without opening it when the backpack has an Advanced Refill upgrade. Your game cannot see what is in these backpacks, so BuildPrint tries them after boxes it knows hold the block. |
| A proxy such as Velocity or BungeeCord | A build only shows in the world it was placed in, see Several worlds behind one address. Exact placement is checked for each server behind the proxy on its own. |
Shulker boxes on other servers #
Where none of the above is on the server, a plain Paper or vanilla server for example, BuildPrint can still empty a shulker box you carry with Set boxes down to empty them: it sets the box down, takes the blocks out, breaks it and picks it up again. You can lose a box that way, so it is off by default. See Set boxes down to empty them.
- BuildPrint does not use ShulkerOpener, bettershulker, Easy Shulker Boxes or Item Interactions.
- A server mod that refills your hand by itself works as it is: BuildPrint sees the block arrive.
- Bundles work on 1.21.2 and newer with nothing on the server, unless the server's VoxelSprout Policy turns taking from carried boxes off.
Another printer #
BuildPrint has its own The printer, so it needs no printer add-on. BuildPrint and Litematica can be installed side by side, but BuildPrint does not drive another mod's printer. Use one printer at a time.
