Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.21.0, outdated):
beamtools_v1.0.2.zip 1-click install
At the moment the mod only adds a crowbar for dismantling support beams. More tools may appear in the future.
Crowbar removes all support beams from a block and drops them into the world. There are several modes of use, the key combinations can be found through tooltips.

Ahoy - thanks for this mod. First time I used it today to remove some support blocks - and VS crashed with this:

+1 for this sticking around as a model replacement. I've loved this mod for a while and I would be more then happy to use these models over the upcoming vanilla.
But regardless, thank you for this mod, always exciting to see them added to the game!
With the upcoming 1.22 release and vanilla crowbars, maybe this mod could stick around as only a model and texture replacer. Cuz I'm gonna be honest, the vanilla crowbars look a bit.. goofy.
Finally, I can remove glitched beams without having to destroy half of my build! It even works on chiseled blocks! This mod is amazing.
This is one of the most important construction mods for me. You've done an amazing service making this.

hi! i ran into an issue with beams the other day (not with the mod, the mod is really good), and i think it could be a great utility to add in this mod:
basically i was having issues placing a beam on an edge and was getting crazy after trying something like 10 times, everytime it got placed slightly ofsset, so i was thinking... it would be great to have an option in the beam like with the prospecting pick, to select a "face placement position" like "top left" and just have to click on the face of the block and the beam is placed on the top left edge of the face, change the placment to "bottom left" and place it on the other block and done! perfect and effortless edge placement!
some example of placement could be "top left", "top mid", "top right", or also the inbetween those positions, and the same also for center and bottom, or you could make a more generic image of the grid detail of chiseling "half block", "quarter block", etc.. and have the beam snap to that grid!
Vanra In my experience, once a block that a beam is attached to is chiseled, it becomes a part of that block and can't be broken anymore, the chiseled block itself has to be removed, as the beam and it are one now forever.
have anyone noticed issue with not being able to break beams on chiseled blocks?
Absolutely LOVE this mod! I have noticed that when in creative mode, if you copy and paste a chiseled block with a support beam on it, the crowbar wont remove the beam on the pasted block. It's a tiny issue but one that I noticed a couple of times while doing build practice. Thanks for the mod!
Bless you for this mod. It's the only thing that let me get rid of a beam in the middle of my house.
oh thank goodness there's finally a solution to this. Was the main reason i never used beams. Thanks!
Heyo, using this mod on our server. When using the tool on a chiseld block it causes a repeating error that crashes the server.

Can give more information or the full, Rather large Crash log file.
query, could it be possible to add "Air Block" removal as part of it's function? A few mods add those to keep things from collapsing, Better Ruins, etc... annoying to not be able to build and leave "holes" creatures can go through...
It could be something as simple as using the "/setblock SomeBlock s" to replace air block where player is standing? But ONLY if used on Meta-filler block? Of course normally that requires op/creative to do, so there is security to think of also.
/EDIT Also, thinking on it, the block replacing the air block would have to be wood or stone, since some are in the air, turned on landslide would not allow dirt, etc.
/EDIT2 turns out it can be replaced with stick ... LOL
So, does this mean we can finally cosplay as gordon freeman? Goated mod fr fr! Also good function as support beams are tricky to remove.
