Mod Structure Helper
The Structure Helper tool allows anyone to:
Once you have the mod installed, it is recommended you create a new creative world whenever you plan on editing a structure. This is because of issues with syncing your structures after saving/loading the game.
Creating structures
To create a new structure, open the structure helper menu (F4 by default) and press 'Create new structure'. For the mod folder name, use the name of a mod that can load structures. As of writing this, the only mod that loads structures is the Epic Structure Loader. So, put the folder name which is "EpicStructureLoader". The structure name is entirely up to you.
Editing structures
Mod structures are centered around new entities. Structures cannot remove entities that were added by the game, though, due to various limitations. You'll need to start by choosing a location to place your entities, then determine which entity you want to place. You can either place one directly from the entity browser or choose an entity to brush with. Simply place entities and move them around using all the tools at your disposal to create your structure.
Don't forget to save frequently! The save bind is control + S, so keep your fingers glued to those keys.
Distributing your structure to others
When you are ready to share your creation, you can simply upload your .structure file(s) to Nexus (which is likely found in the EpicStructureLoader/Structures folder), and list the Epic Structure Loader as a dependency. Do NOT list this mod, the Structure Helper, as a dependency, because that will probably confuse users...
