DESCRIPTION
Alright, here is the short of it for you.
Hold control and place a block, it will place as many as possible in that direction till it hits something or you run out of blocks to place. Very useful for bridge building. Even in creative, it will only place as many block as as you have in the stack!
It can do both vertical and horizontal placement. It modifies only the ItemBlock class only. Not many mods do this (that I know of), so should be fairly compatible.
Suggestions, praises, and problems go below.
CONFIGURATION
The configuration file is found in the "config" folder in your main minecraft directory, the file is "./config/fastbuild.cfg". Run minecraft once with the mod installed to get the configuration file created automatically.
build_key
The key that must be pressed to use fast build, any of the static key values from here should work.
max_stack_build_num
Determines the maximum number of blocks that will be attempted to be placed at one time.
max_stack_vertical_build_num Optional!
Determines the maximum number of blocks that will be attempted to be placed at one time in the vertical direction.

TROUBLESHOOTING
a.k.a. HELP IT DOESN'T WORK!!!1!!1one1!!eleven1!!
I installed it and minecraft runs but I can't get it to work in game!
You may need to put more then one item in the stack for it to place more then one item, even in creative. This works as a build in length adjuster. If you only have 1, it will only place one, which looks like it isn't working.
I installed it and minecraft black screens!
Be sure to delete the META-INF folder from the minecraft jar to get it to work.
I installed it and minecraft crashes!
Be sure you are using a fast building compatible with your version of minecraft.
Help, it doesn't work in SMP! It looks like it does, but the blocks delete themselves.
Sorry, the mod doesn't work in SMP, I removed the lockout due to many requests to be allowed to 'try it' in SMP. But I already knew it didn't work.
How do I get this to work with forge?
This probably doesn't work with forge. But try it and find out, it has been awhile since I have tested it with forge.
I would love if this mod worked properly for me :|
When I hold down ctrl and place a block, it appears to place an entire line of blocks and takes them out of my inventory. I can even run out and stand on it if I am quick enough. However, a few seconds later all of the blocks except the original one disappear and return to my inventory. What am I doing wrong?
How does vertical placement work? I couldn't get it to build up.

I know your problem now. This mod does NOT work with multiplayer.
I like this mod, but I've used Right Control to Jump for months. Is it possible to configure the key to something else? Like Right Alt or Space? I have a lot of mods so I need it to impact as few keys as possible. Plus future mods might need keys to operate so if it uses L or R control or alt, can it be altered to use a single key?
I don't know if this helps explain, but Zombe's modpack viewtopic.php?f=25&t=96815
has a "config.txt" file that allows users to customize this way.
I love this mod!
Honestly since I'm not a programmer i can't say anything bad about this.
If you really wanted to slightly improve it, i would say make the block placement better. Like if you clicked from behind it would go forward etc. And maybe increase it from 15 to 30 or something.
Like this:
Click here and it would go the opposite no matter the way you look.
And thank you so much for this mod. I greatly approve!

Well that is not as simple as it sounds to do. :smile.gif:
I do not know where you are looking at all, just your location, where you placed the brick and the side of the block on which it was placed.
However, how about this. If you hold both control and shift (sneak rather), and press on a wall, it will build outward along that side.
[]
You place it on the [] side of this block, and it will build from there along the direction that that side faces, assuming it can (your not in the way, and it doesn't run into anything etc).
I will also increase the block placement number up to 24. I do not want to make it too long. I will also see if I can make the current key configurable.

It seems a little flakey in which direction it's going to build for me.
See image
I was trying to build a base wall between the corner stone on the left and the one on the right but FB decided to build way out in another direction than I had thought it would.

Yeah, the original mode is still all kinds of flakey, since it is based on your location rather then your camera direction, its gotten better recently, but I need take some time and retackle that mode to use the look direction rather then player position.
I can't get this to work in single-player or multi-player mode. It's not like the instructions are hard. I followed them to the letter but it doesn't work at all.
I'm sorry that's not much help, but any ideas what I could do?
i cant get it to work on my minecraft. i followed all the instructions but when i try to do it it doesnt work. and it never creates the config file. any idea what im doing wrong? if so please email me. [email protected]
I made Sparta (kinda).
I set my build number to 1337 lol and used single player commands to give me 99999 smooth stone and loaded survival island. Then i built 4 pillers around it and filled it in and now i have a giant ghost city because there isn't any buildings.
Once again your mod saved me hundreds of hours! Thanks a bunch!
But anyway, I have here for you a simple mod to make your life easier.

Do you know what other mods you are using?
I know it works on the full version of the current beta for me.
To place a vertical row you have to place it so you are looking up or down when doing so. It cannot know which direction otherwise (at the moment).
I know your problem now. This mod does NOT work with multiplayer.
I don't know if this helps explain, but Zombe's modpack

Oh, and it still only uses one file.
Thanks for the improvements. It's going to be fun to change how I play with this.
I also have a (very badly done) youtube video demonstrating the mod now. If anyone wants to do a better one, I will replace it.
Also for mods compatible with this mod i use the following mods:
Zans Minimap
More Creatures
More Humans
Single Player Commands
These are all compatible.
Thanks again for this mod!
