Placement Preview

# Description A client-side mod for displaying a preview of the block that would be placed on right click. preview example screenshot  # Configuration There are several configuration options available, either via the in-game config menu, or in the configuration file. - `defaultStateGhost` - Should the ghost block rendering be enabled or disabled by default (when not holding any keys) - `defaultStateWire` - Should the wire frame rendering be enabled or disabled by default (when not holding any keys) - `enableRenderGhost` - The main enable for ghost block rendering - `enableRenderWire` - The main enable for wire frame rendering - `fakeWorldCopyRadius` - The radius of blocks that will be copied to the fake world. The change detection radius is one less than this value. - `renderAfterDelay` - The preview will only activate after the cursor has been held over a block for an amount of time. - `renderDelay` - The amount of time the cursor must be held over a block for the preview to activate. - `renderOverlapping` - Render a ghost block preview over existing blocks. This also changes the way the changed block models are detected. (when false, only blocks that were modified in the fake world via `setBlockState()` are included, when true, all blocks in a radius of `fakeWorldCopyRadius - 1` are compared to the real world by comparing the `getActualState()` reference. This means that things like changing fence connections of adjacent existing blocks will be shown.) - `requireSneakForGhost` - Is holding sneak required to render the ghost blocks - `requireSneakForWire` - Is holding sneak required to render the wire frame - `resetHoverTimerOnPosChange` - Whether the hover delay will reset when the cursor moves over a different block. - `toggleGhostWhileHoldingKey` - Whether to toggle the ghost block rendering state from what the `defaultStateGhost` is, while holding the key set in `toggleKeyGhost` - `toggleWireWhileHoldingKey` - Whether to toggle the wire frame rendering state from what the `defaultStateWire` is, while holding the key set in `toggleKeyWire` - `toggleKeyGhost` - The key that must be help for the ghost block rendering state to toggle from the `defaultStateGhost`. Can be `shift`, `alt` or `ctrl`. - `toggleKeyWire` - The key that must be help for the wire frame rendering state to toggle from the `defaultStateWire`. Can be `shift`, `alt` or `ctrl`. - `transparencyAlpha` - The alpha value of the ghost block, if `useTransparency` is `true`. Range: `0.0 - 1.0`, where `0.0` = completely transparent, `1.0` = completely opaque. - `useTransparency` - Render the ghost blocks as transparent/translucent. The rendering can be toggled on/off all together via the Toggle key, which is `P` by default. The `enableRenderGhost` state can be toggled via the Toggle Ghost keybind (`Shift + P` by default). The `enableRenderWire` state can be toggled via the Toggle Wire keybind (`Ctrl + P` by default). So to sum it up a bit: - The enableRender* options are the "master controls" and turning them off means nothing will be rendered no matter what the other options for that mode (ghost or wire) are. - Then the defaultState* options set the "default rendering state" (on vs. off) for that mode, when no keys are being pressed. - `requireSneakFor*` controls if sneaking is required for the rendering to activate for that mode. - `toggle*WhileHoldingKey` - When enabled, the on/off state from the `defaultState*` will be toggled/reversed while the key set in the corresponding `toggleKey*` option is being pressed. So basically you can set it up to render one or both of the modes by default and be disabled while holding a key (`Ctrl` or `Alt` or `Shift`), or make them require sneaking, or make them require holding `Ctrl` or `Alt` or `Shift`, or make them be on by default but on a delay, or make them require sneaking and/or holding a key and still require a delay... You get the idea, I hope :p
