BuildHelper

[pale mesa]

Name Of Suggestion: Buildhelper

Detailed Description Of Suggestion: Allow a mod that picks a new random block out of a player-selected few every time the chosen random block is placed by the player to make quick gradients

Videos/Links/Mod Showcase:

[bold scroll]

i dont quite understand this

[pale mesa]

you give it any number of different minecraft blocks, it picks one of them randomly, you place the block it picked, and then it does it again

[bold scroll]

i dont think a client can give you a block in your inventory

[pale mesa]

that wouldnt be happening with it anyway

it tells you the block it picked on screen doesnt give you the block

its basically a built-in decision wheel

[bold scroll]

oh so when you place a block it chooses a new one from a player set selection

[pale mesa]

yes yes

will help with gradients and texturing

[bold scroll]

when placing a specific block or just any block

[pale mesa]

preferably the one it picked, but there could be settings for any

[bold scroll]

if its a player set selection cant you just scroll through your inventory while right clicking to get random blocks

[pale mesa]

i trust the computer more than my fingers

also i dont want to empty my hotbar every time i want to build

[bold scroll]

but they are both random up to 9

but wouldnt you have to get a new block from your inventory everytime you place one?

[pale mesa]

when you run out yes

you gather the resources yourself

like if you wanted a gradiant using cracked stone bricks and stone bricks you pick stone bricks and cracked stone bricks and you get stacks of stone bricks and cracked stone bricks

and then it picks randomly between the two

you place the block it chose and it redoes it until you're done and then you can disable it

i thought it was as simple as it gets personally

[bold scroll]

@idle yoke you have any input?

[calm cosmos]

i dont see much use in this...

[bold scroll]

do you want it to automatically scroll through your inventory or it gives you a block name on your screen

[calm cosmos]

its not useless

i just dont see much use

[pale mesa]

block name on screen

[pale mesa]

it's about 200x faster than using a wheel

[calm cosmos]

im more thinking of where would this mod be used... mainly just by builders and to make a build look worn down

[pale mesa]

yeah... by builders

[bold scroll]

i dont see a use for a block display name

just use a wheel

or have chatgpt code a python script that runs ever 2 seconds or smth

[calm cosmos]

if its just a display, yea... its not faster

[pale mesa]

the wheel is ridiculously slow i dont like having to click between the game and google every time i place 1 block when i have to place a crap ton total it'd take hours

[calm cosmos]

if you have it running every 2 seconds, you could just move the script to the left and the game to your right

letting you see both on the same screen at once

[pale mesa]

how would i run the script

and im not that fast lol

[bold scroll]

download python

[calm cosmos]

you have the script run passivly on a timer.. no inputs neded

[pale mesa]

it'd have more use than a ton of other badlion features thats for sure

[pale mesa]

how***

[calm cosmos]

update it in real time... of off a timer... its not hard

[pale mesa]

No like

how do i do it from start to finish

[calm cosmos]

first step download python like dragon said

[pale mesa]

bro WHY DO I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD SOMETHING

[calm cosmos]

so you can run the script in your command prompt

YOUR COmputer needs to know what language you are using (not english or french, but c#, java, python)

that is unless you know HOW to write code in a note and have it be seen as a specific language

its just easyer for beginers and experts alike

[pale mesa]

how do i open python

[calm cosmos]

it should open for you?

if you downloaded it

[pale mesa]

well it didnt

the only thing new is in my downloads folder theres an app where if i click it it tells me to modify setup and gives me the option to modify, repair or uninstall

[calm cosmos]

brought to you by AI

doesnt let me post OOF

ask chat gpt this: i need a python script that takes in a name of an item apon request, and outputs a random block from the list of items every few seconds

[pale mesa]

i got the script

i just

how do i run it

[calm cosmos]

do you know how to open your cc?

[pale mesa]

my console?

[pale mesa]

yeah i think so

[wise atlas]

Double click or run in console

[pale mesa]

after i hold windows button and press r what do i type for command prompt

[wise atlas]

cmd

[pale mesa]

ty

[calm cosmos]

where is the folder? (it would be easy if on your documents folder)

[wise atlas]

Then cd path/to/your/script
And main.py or whatever your script name is

[calm cosmos]

cd C:\Users<YourUsername>\Documents
python <your_script_name>.py

[pale mesa]

i dont have a python folder

[wise atlas]

Or like that, yeah

[wise atlas]

Where did u put your script?

[pale mesa]

my clipboard?

[calm cosmos]

you need to save it in a folder on your device

for your device to read it

[pale mesa]

i cant save text in a folder

[wise atlas]

U need to put it in a file with .py extension

[pale mesa]

where do i get that

[wise atlas]

Create?

[pale mesa]

new -> folder then what

?

[calm cosmos]

open a text file

with .py at the end of the name

[pale mesa]

so text document and not folder?

[calm cosmos]

a text doc in the folder

you need to know where to get it from

[pale mesa]

and i rename the text document to put a .py at the end

[calm cosmos]

[pale mesa]

see this would be much easier if it was a simple function in badlion

this is harder than changing versions to modern just to farm which also got fixed by badlion

ok i failed the first step, why? i downloaded python though whats the issue

[calm cosmos]

You failed checking your python version?

Did you only get the pyrhon installer and not install it?

[pale mesa]

Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases.

[calm cosmos]

So yea... you did not run the python installer

[pale mesa]

where is the python installer

[calm cosmos]

Probably in your downloads

[pale mesa]

this is the only new thing in my downloads

[calm cosmos]

Yea thats probably the python installer.. you would need to run to actualy download python on your computer

[pale mesa]

ok now what

i already did this before

i already did all this too

[calm cosmos]

I mean your command is obv not seeing it.. maybe download from the app store python? Like it asked?

[pale mesa]

i did it from https://www.python.org/downloads/

[sour valve]

[pale mesa]

[calm cosmos]

bro im barly paying attention.. do you want to enter a vc so i can walk you thru it

[pale mesa]

not really

[acoustic dagger]

is it me or is this the fastest post to reach 100+ messages? 💀

[calm cosmos]

i want you to know, we havent even started on the easy part of just running the script

[pale mesa]

yeah i get that

[pale mesa]

im sorry for being stupid ???

[calm cosmos]

*when trying to teach someone how to start coding

[acoustic dagger]

ay, i am sorry

[calm cosmos]

its fine, just a joke

[acoustic dagger]

but dm's do exist...

[pale mesa]

my only coding experience was with notepad++ on some engine that i cant remember the name of

[calm cosmos]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yivyNCtVVDk

[pale mesa]

i mean i found SOMETHING

that stuff is unrelated though

[wise atlas]

Maybe add to path and restart pc

[pale mesa]

english?

[calm cosmos]

im trying to find videos to explain to her

[pale mesa]

her

[calm cosmos]

since i cant see the screen or what path she used

[pale mesa]

path????

[calm cosmos]

when installing

[pale mesa]

huuh?

[calm cosmos]

...

[left quest]

cant you use install it from microsoft store

its easier honestly

[calm cosmos]

thats what i gave up on and tried getting her to do

[wise atlas]

When u installed it there was checkbox "add to path"

[pale mesa]

i didnt see no checkbox that said add to path

[pale mesa]

how do i get rid of the stuff that failed from my computer

[calm cosmos]

when you opened it.. you had an uninstall option...

[pale mesa]

oh yeah

[wise atlas]

Most of the messages are completely off topic tho

[pale mesa]

they're not off-topic whatsoever

[calm cosmos]

or reexplaining

[acoustic dagger]

thats why im saying that dms exist... but im not getting into the conv. im playing beat saber now

[wise atlas]

They're have nothing to do with your mod suggestion

[pale mesa]

what they're trying to teach me is something to replace my mod suggestion.

[river rapids]

Yeah i do not see any use to this at all

[wise atlas]

Yeah, this mod is for too small range of people

[pale mesa]

WHO DOESNT PLACE BLOCKS?

[calm cosmos]

There are websites where you can paste your Python code and run it directly in your browser, no installation required. Examples include Repl.it, Programiz, or Google's Colab. just use them. since your having to many issues

[pale mesa]

thank you

[wise atlas]

I'm not placing random blocks 😔

[pale mesa]

so you dont want your builds to look better ok

[calm cosmos]

do builds NEED a randomizer to look good>?

[wise atlas]

If I want - I'll build something cool without mods

[pale mesa]

they need some kind of randomness and i dont feel comfortable using my human brain

this looks so much better than just a bare deepslate wall

[left quest]

cant you just scroll the wheel in your mouse

[pale mesa]

we've had this discussion earlier

[calm cosmos]

thats what EVERY other person said

[pale mesa]

1 other person

[golden kernel]

you can do it without python

powershell exists

[left quest]

you can do it with pretty much anything lol

[golden kernel]

if you have windows that is

[pale mesa]

anything in browser that i can use?

[golden kernel]

on linux theres bash although idk if that has keyboard interfacing

[calm cosmos]

they are having issues with just python, dont push them down a line of asking whats the diff between different languages

[golden kernel]

browsers are generally prohibited from running code

[left quest]

And like it has been said before this is no longer related to the suggestion so i dont know what we are doing here

[pale mesa]

my point exactly

[left quest]

meanwhile chromium having javascript in pdfs

[golden kernel]

using powershell is much easier, with python you have to get some libs then run the script

powershell has keyboard interfacing builtin

[wise atlas]

Ig we went too far away from original topic

[calm cosmos]

chat GPT for them

[left quest]

at this point in time, this is just off topic

[golden kernel]

yeah

[golden kernel]

didnt say write the script

[pale mesa]

am i allowed to swear

[golden kernel]

no

[pale mesa]

ok is there any way to do it without downloading anything or do i have to keep using the hecking wheel

[golden kernel]

powershell! lemme make a script

tell me what you need

[pale mesa]

im under the impression that powershell needs to be downloaded

[golden kernel]

nope its preinstalled

[pale mesa]

okay.. where do i find it?

[calm cosmos]

they need to be able to type in a block name to be added to the list, things from the list are to be randomly chosen every few seconds, and an option to delete things from the list

[golden kernel]

win+s and type powershell

[pale mesa]

epic

[golden kernel]

so basically just a random block picker right

[calm cosmos]

yes

[calm cosmos]

automated not by input

[pale mesa]

right now i need it to pick between stone bricks chiseled stone bricks mossy stone bricks and cracked stone bricks

[golden kernel]

i do know of a mod that allows running JS code inside minbecraft but idk how to use it

[bold scroll]

right well this is no longer a suggestion sooooo ima close this you guys can continue in dms or #💬︲general :>

[wise atlas]

Finally a mod

[pale mesa]

ok lemme try finding out how to group dm non friends
