Preview System

The preview system in EasyBrushes uses display entities to show real-time block previews before placement.

This feature will change slightly between updates

Configuration

Basic Settings

  glow:
    # Size of Display Entity HIDDEN (0.99), SHOWN (1.01)
    size: "HIDDEN"
    # How often to update glow effect (in ticks)
    update_rate: 1
    # BLOCK (block display), ITEM (item display), or CMD (custom model data)
    display_type: "BLOCK"
    # FIXED (normal display) or CMD (custom model data)
    block_data: "FIXED"
    custom:
      material: "DIAMOND"
      model_data: 1000

CMD uses the Custom material for the preview option. FIXED uses whatever the brush is using.

Display Position

change the preview position using decimal values:

brush:
  glow:
    display_shift:
      x: 0.0  # Positive = right, negative = left
      y: 0.0  # Positive = up, negative = down
      z: 0.0  # Positive = forward, negative = backward

For the most accurate block display without Z fighting please use -0.005xyz

Per-Player Settings

Players can toggle previews using:

/eb glow on
/eb glow off

  max_preview_blocks: 1000

PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THIS IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. THIS FEATURE IS REALLY EXPERMINENTAL.
