RoomTools is a builder-oriented debug overlay that allows players with chat privileges to inspect rooms visually using commands. This mod replicates and improves on the /debug rooms functionality without requiring debug privileges.

Features

Index-based room selection
Room listing per chunk
Color-coded overlays for cellars, open rooms, greenhouses and invalid rooms
Automatic re-highlighting toggle

Commands

Server-Side

/rooms show (or with [index]) - Highlight your current room or with [index]
/rooms hide - Hide the overlay
/rooms list - Show a list of rooms in the current chunk

Client-Side

.rooms auto on|off - Enable or disable auto-refresh of room highlight every 5 seconds (Stop moving for the highlight to generate in the room)

Permissions: Any player with chat privileges can use it.

Use Cases

Validating cellar construction for cooling.
Troubleshooting why a room doesn’t count as "enclosed."
Highlighting heat-retention areas without enabling debug mode.

Installation

Place the compiled mod .zip or /RoomTools/ folder into your VintagestoryData/Mods directory.
Make sure the server and all clients have the mod installed (it’s a dual mod).
Launch the game and use /rooms show in chat!

v1.3.1 v1.3.1 Added Can now highlight valid greenhouses Some form of validation for problemed blocks/holes that highlight grey (this isn't great not that accurate, might remove) Notes: Some weird edgecases: If you have issues with it highlighting red incorrectly scanning a different room, relogging, sometimes hugging the wall will fix it if its supposed to be a valid room. The engine is weird and it lazy loads.. im trying. Sometimes invalid rooms also might stay as a valid room when a single block is removed, break another next to it and it should be properly invalid red... Some blocks might be grey in an invalid room, its supposed to highlight problematic blocks like trapdoors and such, but as I said above its not very accurate. Please consider Report bugs/problems in the comments for now until I have properly opened up a discord page for this mod, thank you.	#v1.20.10	114	1 day ago	Show	RoomTools_v1.3.1.zip	1-click install
v1.2.0 v1.2.0 Added `/rooms list` to display all rooms in the current chunk. Added `/rooms show [index]` to allow selection of a specific room to highlight by index. Rooms are color-coded based on properties: 🔵 Blue: Small room with no exits (valid cellar) 🟡 Yellow: Large room with no exits (too big to be a cellar) 🔴 Red: Room with exits (open space) Added `/rooms auto on\|off` toggle (client-side) to enable automatic re-highlighting every 5 seconds while idle. Greatly improved stability and validation of overlay drawing to prevent index errors or invalid highlighting.	#v1.20.10	727	May 10th at 12:30 PM	Show	RoomTools_v1.2.0.zip	1-click install

egocarib agreed! I'm having this issue with my home right now - It's driving me nuts.
It registered as green right after I filled in the windows and ran the [/debug rooms hi] command, then I started moving my baskets and items into it thinking Everything was fine... Now it's red again, no clue why.
I've went over everyblock face to make sure it's solid and insulated.. tore down and re-did areasa to just confirm they were solid. Forever red :(

The one feature I would love to see in a mod like this is some feedback to help you troubleshoot what is wrong with your room. For example, point out any sleek doors, grated trapdoors, or just plain old holes that might be causing the room to fail to be recognized. Probably tricky to do, but if someone can pull it off it would make the mod an essential!

Dude thank you, have been looking for something like this for a while!

I would love to add that, but I cannot accurately get the game to highlight greenhouses. I have been battling the game and it simply will not give me the result I want.
The closest to getting greenhouses to be highlighted was getting the farmland the player is standing on to be highlighted as a valid greenhouse and only that single block..

I have had enough attempting today, but I may achieve this in the future I really hope.

I know it says it can validate rooms and cellars. What about greenhouses though?
