✨ How to use Chisel Wiz
Before you start...
Chisel Wiz is a client-side mod, which means it cannot perform actions which the server does not support, such as instantly transforming one chiselled block into another. Instead, this mod will try to work out the smallest number of chiselling steps necessary to achieve the same result, and automatically apply these steps to the chiselled block like a programmable woodpecker. Check out the youtube video above to see how this works in practice.
How to Copy, Paste & Undo
Make sure you have a chisel in your active item slot and a hammer in your offhand item slot and then use the following (configurable) hotkeys while looking at a chiselled block:
| Hotkey | Description |
|---|---|
Ctrl+Shift+C |
Copy a chisel block design to your clipboard. |
Ctrl+Shift+V |
Paste a chisel block design onto a chisel block. |
Ctrl+Shift+Z |
Undo last block modification |
You can interrupt a chiselling operation by switching away from your chisel, or dropping your chisel/hammer. It won't auto-resume chiselling. You can use the Undo hotkey to get back to the design before you started.
How to use the design catalogue to save/load designs
Opening the catalogue
- Open the chisel tool mode window (default key "F" while holding a chisel in your hand).
- Click on the catalogue icon at the top right.
Saving new designs to the catalogue
- Copy a design to your clipboard using the copy hotkey (see above).
- Open your inventory to expand the clipboard window.
- In the expanded window, press the "Save Design" button.
How to swap materials in a design
- Copy a block design (default hotkey: Ctrl+Shift+C)
- Open your inventory (- this will expand the clipboard Gui)
- Pick up a new block material and drop it over a material in the clipboard Gui.
How to use the custom chisel tool modes
With a chisel and hammer in your hands, press F to open the tool mode options as usual. The blue chisel tool modes are the ones added by this mod.
![]() |
Vertical Flip Flips the block upside down. |
|---|---|
![]() |
Vertical Rotate Rotates the block along the x/z axis. Left click to rotate clockwise, or right click to rotate anti-clockwise. Scroll up/down while hovering over the tool mode to change the number of rotations to perform (either 1 or 2). |
![]() |
Inverse Transforms the block into an inverse version of itself. The solid voxels become empty, and the empty voxels become solid. |
![]() |
Mirror (Horizontal) Copies a reflection of the block from one side to the other. Clicking on the left side will copy a reflection to the right side, and vice versa. The reflection axis depends on which side of the block you are looking at. |
![]() |
Mirror (Vertical) Similar to horizontal mirror. Click on a voxel near the bottom of the block to create a reflection on the top side, and vice versa. |
![]() |
Push/Pull Move all of the voxels forward/backward along the axis of the face of the voxel you are looking at. Scroll up/down while hovering over the tool mode to change the distance. Left click pushes the voxels away by the select distance, whilst right clicking pulls the voxels towards you by the same distance. Any voxels that would be pushed/pulled outside of the block will disappear. |
![]() |
Push/Pull (Wrap Around) Similar to the regular Push/Pull, except if you push the voxels outside of the block, they will wrap around back onto the other side. |
![]() |
Plane (front/back) Left click to remove one or more layers of voxels from the face of the block corresponding to the face of the voxel you are looking at. Right click removes from the opposite side. Scroll up/down while hovering over the tool mode to change the number of layers that will be planed off in a single operation. |
![]() |
Merge clipboard design (Don't replace overlapping voxels) Ensure you have a block design copied to your clipboard and then click to perform a merging paste. The design on your clipboard will be merged with the block you clicked on, without replacing any of the existing solid voxels. |
![]() |
Merge clipboard design (Replace overlapping voxels) As above, except will replace any voxels where the two designs intersect. |
![]() |
Add shape from clipboard Similar to merge, it will merge the shape of the clipboard design into the block you click on - however, it does not copy materials. The merged shape will use the material you currently have selected. |
![]() |
Subtract shape from clipboard This will remove any voxels from the selected block that are present in the design on your clipboard. |
![]() |
Reset to full block Will reconstruct the block back to its original 16x16x16 cube, using the material you selected. |
![]() |
Paint (Contiguous only) Replaces the material of the selected voxel and all connected voxels of the same material. |
![]() |
Paint (Replace all) Replaces the material of the selected voxel and all other voxels the share the same material. |
Paste/Merge Material Handling Options
When you open the chisel tool modes window, you'll see several options at the bottom which affect how materials are used when pasting/merging blocks. Here's a brief explainer of each option:
- "Require matching materials before chiselling" - Enabling this option will prevent the mod from pasting a block if you don't have the right materials available. Disabling this option will allow you to paste designs using only the materials that are already available in the target block. This can be useful if you're only interested in pasting the shape of the design, and don't care about the material.
- "Auto-add missing materials from inventory" - Enabling this option will cause the mod to automatically add the required materials for your chiselled block design when pasting/merging (assuming you have them in your inventory). By disabling this option, the mod will not take any materials from your inventory.
- "Materials must match exact orientation" - Enabling this option will prevent the mod from pasting a block with "orientable" materials (e.g. logs, planks, fanned cobblestone) unless the material orientation matches exactly with the one in the design. In some cases, this doesn't matter to you, or it's not possible to add a material of a certain orientation - in which case, you can disable this option to allow any orientation. Note: The mod will always prefer to use the correct orientation material if it's already available inside the chiselled block, even if you disable this option.
💡 Possible upcoming Features (not implemented yet)
- A shopping list for materials needed in the image design tool.
- An online catalogue database for players to share block designs with each other.
- Improved catalogue categorisation/tagging features.
- Add an optional server-side component to allow instantaneous chiselling operations in singleplayer (or on servers which have the mod installed).
- Preview mode to better visualise how the selected tool mode will change the target block before chiselling.
- Prototyping mode, to design blocks without burning chisel durability.
- Add an Extrude tool mode (inverse of Plane)
- Add support for Chisel Tools palettes (e.g. Jonas palette).
Hey you! ☕ Consider helping fund upcoming features by feeding my iced coffee addiction. 💸 Tip me at Ko-fi 😊
🛠️ Known Issues
- After pasting a block, your chisel's tool mode and selected material is supposed to return to the same one it was using before the Chisel Wiz takes over. However, due to a lag-related race condition, your client's chisel tool mode can sometimes end up out of sync with the server. To work around this, either reset the chisel tool mode manually after pasting, or drop your chisel and pick it back up.
- Middle-mouse-click material selection is inconsistent and unreliable.
- The "Search for materials in nearby chests (experimental)" feature in the image tool can sometimes leave chests stuck open, with no means to close them. If this happens to you, then an easy workaround is to press Ctrl+F1 to reconnect/reload your game.

THIS IS INCREDIBLE, THANK YOU!!
flamescape Your credit is perfect, thanks for considering it. :)
Sableye Thank you so much! I adore this! I've adopted the logo and credited you. (Let me know if you'd prefer me to attribute your contribution in a different way or with a different link.)
cant wait to get the online catalog cause i suck at making something good with chisels :c
flamescape Please credit me if you decide to use this. :) <3
Ylamona Talk is cheap. Make something better and if I like it then I'll use it and credit you as a contributor (assuming you'll give permission?)
Even a 5-minute MS paint drawing or some text over a screenshot would be better than dredging up that AI garbage. It's not that hard.
Sableye I would love to have a proper mod icon created by an artist, but I am just a programmer by trade. I hope my lack of artistic talent hasn't put you off enjoying something that I spend hundreds of hours working on.
Perhaps you could make an icon for me? I would happily credit you for it.
Any chance you'd update the mod icon to not be AI so I can feel better about adding this to our server? Thanks for the consideration!
xjr Thanks for the kind words :)
Lizzy_Grant I haven't been able to replicate the issue you're having, so I really don't know how to solve it with the limited information I have available. Perhaps you could tell me which platform you're playing on (Windows/Mac/Linux)? Also, can you share a copy of the image you're working with? This might help me at least replicate the problem you're having.
sorry i didnt explain the problem in detail but yes when i do click on a tile in the preview of the image i chose it no longer works. instead of showing the blocks that are being used in the design it now shows blank colors instead of actual. the desing no longer copies to ym clipboard. it did work at first but for some reason it has now stoped even in new worlds i have made since hte issue had arisen. flamescape thanks!
No issues, just wanted to thank you for this mod - absolutely awesome!
eerino The issue with carpets is unlikely to be related to Chisel Wiz. I don't think I can help you with this.
Lizzy_Grant You need to click on a tile in the image preview area to copy the design for that section of the image to your clipboard. You need to do this even if your image fits in a single block. If this doesn't fix your issue, please give me some step-by-step instructions on how to repeat this issue and I'll have a look at it for you.
Yrdo It's possible that I could add an "Extrude" mode which does what you're asking for. I'll add it to my todo list.
bloody666guts I don't have immediate plans to support this, but I'll add it to my todo list anyway.
limpjellyfish thanks for the kind words :)
I've been having a problem where carpets connected to a chiseled block get stuck attached to it and nothing will remove it. lmk if you need logs.
hi, love this mod but there seems to be a problem when i try to use the image generator. it worked at first but now it wont let me put the designs onto chiseled blocks. it also wont show the preveiw images of the blocks being used. eveything else seems to be working just fine, clipboard included.
can we have a feature in Plane (front/back) where you can set the number of layers to negative numbers so you can add a layer rather than remove it? thanks for making this awesome mod.
Are there any plans to add support for QP Chisel's palette when in survival mode?
I'm just stopping by to say that I love this mod. I just used it for the first time and it is exactly what I was wanting! I love the little chiseling animation when I copy + paste. Thanks for this!
bloody666guts Yes. The mod detects whether you're playing in creative or survival mode and provides an appropriate list of palettes that you can choose from. Likely though, you won't have all the materials in the palette necessary to create the design. In this case, you can press the "Adapt to available materials" button to reduce the required materials down to only use the materials available in your currently-open inventories.
verity147 thanks for the comment.
I had considered adding an optional server-side component that would allow for instant chiselling, but it would be a lot of work just to recreate an experience similar to what players can already get with QP's Chisel Tools.
I'll add this idea to the list of possible upcoming features, and in the meantime I'll try to explain the current behaviour in the mod description.
Thanks.
Thank you for that answer and explanation flamescape.
I had switched from Chisel Tools lite to your mod because I mostly wanted the copy/paste feature and some mirror and plane functionality on occasion and preferred the idea of not having to carry more tools around. That is also why it caught me so unaware when I suddenly got a progress bar. I get the issue for servers and want to just ask really dumb- there's no way to just check if the game runs locally or whether there's more than one player as a way to decide whether the flood protection is needed? Your mod is so much more relaxed to use due to not having a bunch of extra tools.
I'm gonna presume nothing like that is possible and just want to add that maybe you should put this info somewhere in the mod description. Both for players who might be confused by it and for server hosts who might worry about their players installing this unnecessarily.
Hi verity147
I appreciate your question - and you are right that it does seem somewhat silly to have this progress bar in the context of a single-player world.
As you suspected, the progress bar does indeed exist for a technical reason. This mod was built as a client-side mod without any server side-component - therefore, it is impossible for this mod to instantly transform blocks from one shape into another (unlike Chisel Tools, which does have a server-side component and can do this kind of thing instantly).
The reason why this mod was made as a client-side mod is so that it can be used on unmodded (vanilla) multiplayer servers, where Chisel Tools is not available. If you are playing singleplayer, or on a modded server which already supports Chisel Tools, then it makes sense to use Chisel Tools instead.
The progress bar is not a punishment to the player, but instead a compromise to the server, to prevent the server from becoming overloaded with chiselling operations and causing lag for other players.
If you haven't yet tried out Chisel Tools, I recommend it. It's a good mod that offers most of the important features of Chisel Wiz, plus a bunch more - and it has no progress bars :)
This mod would really be everything I could want and I appreciate you making this, apart from one thing: what is that progress bar I have to sit through for automated functions? Can I adjust or eliminate this? Yes, it will will be quicker than working by hand but so what. Is there a technical reason for this? Am I unreasonably annoyed at this? Maybe, but there is no mention of this anywhere in the description and there is no config. Unless it's necessary for technical reasons I cannot fathom why I would have to sit there in my singleplayer game and watch a progressbar to atone for the fact that I wanted a tedious and wrist-hurting task made easier.
Another crash report added! ♡ I love this mod and I want it to work great for everyone and I want it to stop crashing my game! I've had several more crashes, but I usually just rage quit and don't report it. But sometimes lol.
Thanks! Also I submitted a crash report!
eerino Yes. You can also access your Chisel Tools portfolio from within the Chisel Wiz catalogue.
I have QP's Chisel Tookls. Am I able to keep it installed and ebabled while trying yours out?
I've just started taking chiseling seriously and the timing could not have been better for finding this mod. The mirroring is especially useful for making sure everything is symmetrical. Great mod!
the fact that the paste function looks like, like a whole process. This mod ROCKS
DeafPoni Egil_Raud Thanks for the suggestions. I've added these to my list of potential future developments.
Amazing Mod thank you! It's awesome to see it progressing so well. Please keep up the excellent work! <3
Any possibility we could organize our personal Catalogue a bit more, with maybe collapsable and customizable sections / folders / drops-down thingies for our own catagories, for example: "Desert Theme Buildings" > "Windows" or "Doors" etc. Even though I have a robust naming convention, which is organized alphabetically (Thank you! ) My list of goodies....she gets long. Scrolling for a specific Lintel_Window-A_ns_Desert , past my millions of Lamp-parts, Lawn-ornatments and Light-Posts gets tricky when I forget the exact name of the part I'm looking for. :3
Maybe someone has the opportunity to make a database for players to upload their chisel blocks?
огненный пейзаж
This mod is great! At first I thought it was bugged, and not working on my world. Then I changed the copy keybind to something different, and it worked fine 🤓
Thanks for the mod!
Thinking about multiplayer mode, I believe it would be interesting to have a copy lock on the mod, this would prevent something you spent hours sculpting from being easily cloned by another player.
awesome, thank you it works now!
Willownezz Thanks again. I have pushed out an update now which should resolve this issue.
Willownezz Thanks so much. This has been very useful.
For some strange reason your lamppost designs don't have a list of the materials that they are made from. Perhaps this is how Chisel Tools saved designs in an earlier version? - I'm not sure.
In any case, it is fixable. I will use substitute materials to make it work.
I'll get try to get this fixed as soon as possible.

I only have 3 files for a Lantern Post, and any one of them crashes
Willownezz Interesting. Sounds like you have a design in your chisel tools portfolio that isn't parsing properly. I don't know if you are able to figure out which one it is and share it? This would help me diagnose what's going wrong.
With the new update, clicking on the 'Chisel tools Portifolio' button crashed the game!
El_Neuman The goal of this mod is to be a client-side only mod. Is there a way to distribute this mod via servers whilst also allowing clients to use the mod on unmodded servers? If you know of other mods that behave this way, please let me know and I'll see if I can figure out how to make it work like them.
Hi Dampus
Thanks for the suggestions. I've just pushed out a quick update to remove the hammer requirement in creative mode.
As for the instant operations in creative mode - I think it's a good idea. I will certainly add this to the todo list.
Any chance to remove the offhand hammer requirement when playing creative mode? Just adds an extra cumbersome step since I have to switch from my lantern everytime. Would also be cool to have the operations be instant when playing creative mode as well :)
Hi! Thank you so much for such a wonderful mod.
Hi flamescape just noticed the latest feature the design catalogue and these next few upcoming features rely heavily on each other.
Some of our hardcore chiselers find it cheating to import shape files, especially from tools or mods that create shape files for you. Any chance that these features could be a separate mod?
Cool mod, it came in clutch with repeat designs. Thank you so much flamescape, you are a legend :>
WHAT A BLAST OF A MOD
Okay, probably was there the entire time, for PandaBearJelly and myself and anyone else that couldnt find it, you have to enter Inventory with the copied item to the clipboard open, and the button is in the clipboard, but only when you open inventory. It isn't in the catalogue.
flamescape thank you for this. It is a much better way to name than the name tool. I like that it gives you the opportunitiy to name before saving to catalogue. I'm off to find all my creations and save them now! You are my hero.
flamescape Ah, think I missed the fact that this is purely a client mod. Understandable, thanks for responding!
Xordaii PandaBearJelly
Hi both.
Sorry, I hadn't yet had chance to add some of the new features to the readme (- I have updated it now, though). I'm currently working on a youtube video to explain all the features of the mod.
To answer your question, you can save designs like so:
flamescape
Thank you SO much for this. I have been wanting to easily reuse designs I created in creative single player on the server we are running. Also, thank you for the mod. You have saved my wrists so much pain.
I found the catalogue, but like Panda I would like to know how to save it? Please update the instructions in the description above to include how to find the catalogue, how to save to the catalogue.
Ricoman if it keeps happening with a block you can't tell the orientation about/don't care about orientation, you can either 1) pick up and replace the block down from the same direction you placed the original or 2) I haven't used it, but I believe there is a configuration in the F menu for chiselwiz to turn off requiring same orientation.
Not sure you want to do that on some blocks however, like planks. They may look inconsistent if you are putting two with diff orientations next to each other in a patterned build.
How do you save designs to the catalogue?
Hi TerrorBite
I would love to add a feature like this, but unfortunately it's just not possible with a client-side-only mod like Chisel Wiz. Sorry.
This would be a great idea for a mod with a server-side component.
Hi, I have a feature request for this mod.
Everyone has probably experienced the annoyance of chiseling a (potentially hard-to-get) block, and wanting to get the original block back.
I propose a new chisel tool mode, Remove Material. When used, hitting a voxel of a given material within a chiseled block will both remove all voxels of that material from the chiseled block, AND return the material to your inventory (the inverse of adding the material to the block).
If used on a chiseled block with only one material, this will act the same as chiseling away all voxels (the chiseled block is destroyed), except you get back the original block.
Ricoman
Thanks for your calm and rational feedback. I am so sorry that my mod has caused you such serious frustration and aggravation and wasted your time.
Respectfully, though, I’d like to clarify a couple of points:
As for addressing the issue itself though, I do agree that it would be good if the mod could ignore block orientation when instructed to do so. I'll add it to my to-do list to add this as an option. Feel free to chip in on my Ko-Fi page if you'd like me to make it a priority.
Edit: I've added an option in the latest version to allow pasting/merging to ignore material orientation. Enjoy!
ok, so first off I love what this mod does. It has saved a lot of chiseling.
Unfortunately, it has a fault that has caused SERIOUS frustration and aggravation to the point that I get so fed up I quit and just go back to chisel copying by hands.
When I go to copy a chisel from one block to the EXACT SAME MATERIAL BLOCK, most often I get an error:
"MISSING - [Materials=[Cobblestonefan-granite-east]]"
which then prevents me from copying the chisel work. Like, it won't LET me.
EXCEPT, I am copying a chisel from ONE GRANITE FANNED COBBLESTONE BLOCK to another, the EXACT SAME MATERIAL BLOCK!!! There is literally ZERO difference...
For SOME UNKNOWN REASON, the mod is adding suffixes "-north]]", "-east]]", "-south]]", and "-west]]" to the end of the material description apparently at random because there is ZERO reason I can see or is explained anywhere as to WHY they randomly threw those suffixes onto the blocks.
PLEASE FIX THIS!!! IT has been frustrating me enough that I am about to just delete this mod and never use it again. So far, I would have SAVED time with all the time and materials I've wasted...
Copy-paste multi-material block is an absolute lifesaver. Thanks for the mod.
Sergios Unfortunately not - this is a limitation of a client-side mod. However, if you use this mod to copy and paste the block, it will only copy across the necessary materials (- it will ignore all the extra unused materials from the block you copied).
flamescape
Thank you for your answer! Is there a way not to extract materials from a multiblock, but simply delete them? For example, I was experimenting, and in my final product—the multiblock—I have 10 materials, of which only 2 are actually used. Is it possible to add a "delete unused materials" function to the mod?
QPTech I'm glad you like the mod! Your comments mean a lot to me. Chisel Tools was a great inspiration. :)
I'm going to have to try this! OK the basic functions are amazing, better than chisel tools. Amazing!
Sergios Sadly not. This is a limitation that would require a server-side component to overcome (which I'm not planning to do). The only way to combine the materials of chiselled blocks is by combining them together in your crafting grid. There is no way to extract materials back out of a chiselled block after they have been placed into one.
Sergios GLaDOS_cz PandaBearJelly NylonCat Thank you for all the kind words. I really appreciate all the positive comments. :)
flamescape
The mod is just amazing!!! Thank you! It has literally saved me days of chiseling!
Question: is it possible to make it so that I can "extract" material from a multimaterial block? That is, transfer material from a multimaterial block in my inventory into an item?
This is excatly what I searched for! thank you for saving enourmous time.
Just want to say that I really appreciate that your mod adds all these great functions to the vanilla chisel rather than introducing more inventory clutter with new tools.
Thank you for the super fast update!
In addition to what's mentioned already, i also appreciate that this mod doesn't add additional blocks or items to the game the way QP's does. It just expands on vanilla mechanics through more UI options and i love that about it the most.
The durability consumption isn't much of an issue in my eyes, the time it would have cost to chisel stuff without the extra features is far larger than the time it would take me to make a few extra steel ingots every now and then. It's actually a nice way to balance things out. I do play with x3 tool durability by default, that may also play into it.
Very much appreciate this mod <3
DragonV0942 to prevent my...good chisels got eaten up, i'm using early chiseling.
chisels are made out of flint and are just for chiseling
they burn through but are cheap to make and there's no need to waste the good ones
DragonV0942 yes you are right that it burns through chisels fast. The chiselling strategy isn't perfect, but it's about as efficient as I can make it right now.
You are right that I could solve this by adding a server-side component, but then there's already a mod for that (- QP's Chisel Tools). My mod fills a gap for people who want to play on unmodded servers (or at least, servers that don't have QP's mod) - and this is my main goal for this mod, so I won't compromise on this.
It might be possible in future for me to add a "prototyping mode" which allows you to chisel freely without using any durability by working on a "ghost block" until you are happy with your changes, and then press a button to commit your changes in the most efficient way possible. I'll have to think about it.
Anyway, I hope you continue to enjoy what I've done so far. :)
I want to thank you flamescape for this mod.
though it is heavily inefficient which results in the durability of the chisel being eaten away, It is a fantastic client-side mod when joining friends that don't have it attached to their server, making the repetitive chiselling much easier time wise... but sacrificing durability and efficiency.
I have no idea how you'd be able to make it more efficient without forcing it to be a "both mod" rather than a "client side mod" but I have faith that you might think of something to increase the efficiency without sacrificing its ability to be client-sided.
keep up the fantastic work.
Hi DragonV0942 and NylonCat , I have just pushed out version 1.2.2 which should hopefully fix this compatibility issue 🤞.
It may be worth backing up your world before installing, but my testing in my own world seems fine.
I also use "Better Chisel" (and would very much like to keep it around) but have not updated this mod to its latest version. Having both be compatible with each other would be much appreciated!
If needed, i can make a backup of my save and try replicating the issue that DragonV0942 talked about. I also know of a server that runs both mods, but the host/admin likely won't risk an update if there's any chance of (temporarily) corrupted blocks leading to lost insulation or other issues.
DragonV0942 Thanks so much for the feedback. I'll explore what the conflict might be with this other mod and try to fix it.
Incidentally, I just dropped a new version which should optimise the number of chiselling operations performed when using the new tool modes. Hopefully will reduce the amount of chisels you're gonna burn through with this mod now :) Enjoy!

I do believe you're correct.
I forgot that I had one other chisel tool that initially didn't conflict with yours but that was "Better Chisel" by Darkbrook.
After updating your mod, but disabling that one, I do not have the glitch anymore.
Hi DragonV0942
That's strange. This mod doesn't have a server-side component, so it cannot corrupt your blocks in the way you mentioned - at least, not by itself and not permanently (any corruption could only ever be visual, and wouldn't affect your data).
Perhaps there is a mod conflict going on which has led to this?
The new version of Chisel Wiz does patch the vanilla BlockEntityChisel class in 3 places on the client side, which is a potential cause for a mod conflict/compatibility issue.
Would you be able to try again without any other mods enabled? Perhaps we can figure out the conflict by going through them one by one?
I'd be happy to do this work myself if you can provide me with a list of your other mods.
It seems that the latest update has corrupted a lot of blocks from my single player game.
Some of the latest blocks that I had chiselled before logging off have turned into white question marks, easy fix.
However the biggest problem that I am suffering right now is that almost every single chisel block that has not been corrupted in that way have lost all collision, and solidness. Which has caused a lot of my structures to no longer be insulated, and my Cellars to be breached.
Breaking down and replacing the same block seems to fix that issue, I'm currently block hunting for every single one that might be causing this issue and have yet to figure it out, so that's just a little warning for anyone willing to update, be prepared for glitchy blocks.
EDIT: it seems unfixable on my end as it turns out, reloading the world after replacing all of the blocks to get rid of the glitch just returns. Reverting back to the previous version of This mod fixes the problem.
flamescape Just got a chance to try it out, and this update is fantastic! The preview mode and material swap are both great.
The preview has already saved me a lot of running back to re-copy something because I couldn't remember if I had it already. Very much looking forward to the design catalogue feature if you end up having the time to make it.
Zncon You may want to check out the new version of this mod. You can now swap materials for designs, which should let you replace one plank orientation for another. See the mod description to learn how it's done.
Zncon yes you are right this is a limitation at the moment. I'll make a note of it until I can make a workaround for it.
Hoping you can figure out what's going on here for me. I chisled a small shelf out of a oak planks block, without adding any extra material. Now when I try to paste a copy of it to another oak planks block I get this error popup text at the bottom tof the screen: Missing block material 'planks-oak-ns'.
I tried the operation again with more Oak Plank blocks in my inventory but that didn't change anything.
Edit: I figured out I could still paste a copy to a fresh Oak Planks block that started in a different rotation. So it appears that the rotation of the target block has to exactly match that of the source block in this instance.
Thy_Dungeoneer check your keybinds. I'm sure you just have a conflict or something.
" I want to use that mod so bad, but everytime i try to copy a chisled block, it just opens my character window :( "
Edited: It works now. It was my own stupidity. 10/10 mod
hey, flame, can u please read private messages on discord? < 3
Zncon thanks for the kind words. :)
I wasn't expecting to be quite so enamoured with this mod, but it's 100% amazing. Thank you!

Perric101 basically, yes. :)
oh neat, is this like a chisel printer? could be nice for servers without mods
