  Construction Paste had one major moment to shine for me.<br><br>I had a Stoneblock server running with my friends, and we&apos;d done a few separate bases because we have differing opinions on Style, How to Automate, What to Automate, etc. Now, we&apos;re a bunch of pranksters. Always little bits with eachother, and I wanted to come up with A Good One. So when I saw Construction Paste as an option, I immediately went to work on a perfect Shock and Awe moment. We&apos;d left the walls as stone, out of convenience and a respect for Dwarf Life. So it was very easy for me, to Exchanging Gadget them all to TNT (False). But of course, the real trick, was the one peice of Real TNT in the whole plan. See, his base had a small hallway entrace with a corner into the main room. A perfect place to hide a pressure plate, under which was a single peice of TNT, to drop into a pool of water, for safety.<br>Now, I wasn&apos;t there for the exact moment when it hit him, but it did Hit Him Hard. We still laugh about it sometimes.

  I LOVE the construction paste. I enjoy making large villages, and being able to run around pasting down buildings while only needing to manage a single resource was a huge help.

  This is great stuff Dire. The copy/paste and cut/paste tools are going to be very useful.<br>Just a small UI tip for the Template Manager: Put outline icons for the gadget and the paper in their respective slots. This eliminates any guesswork when people first interact with the mod.

  So here&apos;s my initial thoughts based on the video: The speed of the building gadget seems slower than it used to be. It looks nicer, but I&apos;m also impatient, so I&apos;m not too sure how to feel about that.<br><br>Not the biggest fan of the Copy-Paste Gadget not undoing the replacing of blocks when using the undo functionality, and I am curious as to why it doesn&apos;t do that. If it&apos;s not possible, having a warning text pop up when you have replace blocks turned on would be great, and make it so you have to right click twice in a period of time to actually paste. It&apos;s surprisingly easy to accidentally right-click with the wrong tool and break half your base as a result - speaking from experience here - and while the CP Gadget doesn&apos;t void blocks, having to replace them would be a hassle.<br><br>The Cut-Paste Gadget looks really cool; there&apos;s been a few times where I make some complex build, and realize the entire thing needs to be shifted over one block. Though I can see it breaking with certain modded blocks like you said; getting flashbacks to the Wand Focus: Dislocation from Thaumic Tinkerer. <br><br>Also, I used construction paste a fair bit for some of my builds; I&apos;d make some nifty-looking builds in a creative world using fancy blocks that may be hard to get in bulk (especially early game when you&apos;re first making your base), then use the copy-paste gadget to paste it into my survival worlds or on servers, using Construction Paste instead of the harder-to-get blocks, so I would highly appreciate it being re-added. Only other suggestion I would make is having the construction paste be a bit cheaper to get; it was just too expensive in terms of lapis if you&apos;re needing large amounts of it (in the thousands for one of my previous builds).

  One thing that would be amazing is the ability to replace a type of block with another. Like if I make a oak wood house and copy it then go into the block list and swap all oak planks with spruce planks. Maybe if the UI is full only allow it in the template machine.

  Mod&apos;s looking good. Maybe you should add the lovely 9x9 template as an easter egg so that it can be thoroughly enjoyed by all.

  I&apos;m so excited for cut and paste gadget... the fact that it also copies tile entity information is SOO nice!

  I would love to see building stairs downward, or anchored from the furthest block (i.e., being &quot;self-aware&quot; in that it places stairs towards the player from the starting point that&apos;s in front of the player).

  I like the new cut and paste gadget. I would just add a bit of yellow tape on it like how you did with the destruction gadget to indicate to the player that they can permanently delete blocks that they didn’t mean to.

  Just curious Direwolf, any chance you can make the settings be able to change the color for the lists and such for those of us that are color blind - or something that shows beyond a color scheme that you are missing items, like a bang or something along those lines?

  It&apos;s good to see this mod get some love after so long. I would like to see 1 feature, and that feature is a shape mode for the building, exchanging, and destruction gadgets. It would make building circles and other polygons much faster. Thanks for the video
