Build like an RTS, directly from above

Preview

Tired of running back and forth between chests while building?

RTS Building: Build From Above adds an RTS-style building panel that lets you plan, place, mine, and manage materials from a top-down view. Instead of constantly moving your player body around your base, you can build more like you are managing a strategy game.

It is designed for complex modpacks, large bases, skyblock platforms, factory layouts, and any situation where building from the player’s first-person view starts to feel slow or repetitive.

Link chests, select blocks, and place them from above

Chest Scan and Build

Scan nearby storage, choose blocks from a large building panel, and place them directly from above. The mod helps reduce the constant “open chest, grab block, walk over, place block, repeat” loop.

Interact with the world normally

Interact

Even while using the top-down building interface, you can still interact with blocks and the world in a natural way. The goal is to make large-scale building smoother and less exhausting.

A massive hotbar for your short-term memory

Massive Hotbar

Keep more blocks and tools visible at once, so you do not have to constantly remember where every material is stored or keep swapping items in and out of your regular hotbar.

Current status

This mod is currently in beta, but it is playable.

I have mainly developed and tested it in ATM 10 To the Sky, and at this point I already cannot play without it.

Minecraft 1.21.1

  • The most complete version.
  • Used extensively in my ATM10 To the Sky playthrough.
  • Core features are mostly stable and robust.
  • Survival balance is still being tested.
  • A skill tree system for unlocking functions is available and can be enabled in the config.

Minecraft 1.20.1

  • Similar to the 1.21.1 version.
  • Theoretically, it should function almost the same as the 1.21.1 version. It has received some light gameplay testing on adventure modpacks like Closing Song, but not as much as 1.21.1.

像 RTS 一样,从上帝视角建造

展示

受够了建造时在箱子之间来回翻材料吗?

RTS Building: Build From Above 添加了一个类似即时战略游戏的建造面板,让你可以从俯视视角规划、放置、挖掘和管理材料。你不再需要为了放几块方块就不停移动玩家本体,在各种箱子翻找材料,而是可以像在管理一款策略游戏一样建造基地。

这个模组很适合大型整合包,复杂基地、空岛平台、工厂布局,以及任何第一人称建造开始变得繁琐的场景。

连接箱子,选择方块,然后从上方放置

箱子扫描与建造

扫描附近的储物箱,从大型建造面板中选择方块,然后直接从俯视视角放置。它的目标是减少“开箱子、拿方块、走过去、放方块、再回来”的重复流程。

仍然可以正常与世界交互

交互

即使在使用俯视建造界面时,你也可以自然地与方块和世界进行交互。这个模组让大规模建造变得更加顺手、轻松。

一个超大的快捷栏,拯救你的短期记忆

大型快捷栏

一次显示更多方块和工具,减少反复记住材料放在哪里、反复切换快捷栏物品的麻烦。

当前进度

这个模组目前仍处于 Beta 阶段,但已经可以正常游玩。

我主要是在 ATM 10 To the Sky 中开发和测试它的。现在对我来说,这个模组已经属于“装上就回不去了".

Minecraft 1.21.1

  • 当前最完整的版本。
  • 已在我的 ATM10 To the Sky 游玩过程中大量使用。
  • 核心功能整体已经比较稳定。
  • 生存平衡仍在测试中。可以在配置文件中启用技能树,用来逐步解锁功能。

Minecraft 1.20.1

  • 功能上与 1.21.1 版本类似。
  • 理论上应当与 1.21.1 版本表现基本一致。
  • 进行过少量游玩测试,比如玩了一阵子落幕曲,但还没有像 1.21.1 那样充分在科技整合包中测试。
