Advanced build tools on CarbonNetwork Creative
The deeper toolset on CarbonNetwork’s Creative server: displays, palettes, symmetry and arrays, the schematic library, timelapses and the build checker.

The bigger tools. Most need a selection first: your WorldEdit one, set with //wand
(left/right-click two corners) or //pos1 / //pos2. Every tool here reads that same selection.
Display entities
/display edit gives you a kit for placing, moving and transforming block, item and text
displays by hand.
| Kit item | Does |
|---|---|
| Blaze Rod | Left-click a display to select; sneak+left-click adds to the selection |
| Stick | Nudge the locked axis. F cycles axis, sneak+F cycles channel |
| Comparator | Opens the editor |
| Prismarine Shard | Duplicate |
| Barrier | Done, and your inventory comes back |
/display menu is the editor: position, scale and rotation with +/− tiles per axis, a
step-size strip (number keys 1–7 work anywhere in the menu), billboard, brightness, view
range, undo/redo, duplicate, groups, and Edit Content.
Type an exact number with the Type exact value tile. Q copies a transform, Ctrl+Q pastes it.
Symmetry & arrays
/symmetry wand, then /symmetry menu.
- Live symmetry — mirrors every block as you place it. Set an origin, pick a plane (x / z / xz) or a radial fold, toggle it on.
- Mirror selection — flip an existing selection.
- Array — repeat a selection in a line or sweep it around the origin.
- Spline — place control points with the spline wand and stamp along the curve; it previews as particles before you commit.
F while holding the wand cycles radial folds. Big operations need a shift-click to confirm. Undo last mirror only works on smaller ones, and tells you when it can't.
Shared sessions
/bs menu — build with other people on one selection.
Invite builders, share your selection as a white outline everyone sees, and lock regions so two people can't paste over each other. Cursors and corners are live.
Locks expire on their own after 5 minutes, or a minute after you stop editing inside one. You can hold 2 at a time.
Schematic library
/schem browse opens your saved builds and their versions.
Click one to load it to your clipboard, paste it, see versions, tag, share, rename or set who
can see it, or fork someone else's into your own library. /schem save <name> saves your
WorldEdit selection (//wand, or //pos1 / //pos2). Saving under
the same name adds a new version instead of overwriting.
Visibility is private or shared. Sharing with a person grants view or copy.
One library on both servers. Builds you saved on SMP show up here too, and this is where you can paste them. Save there, paste here.
Change ledger
/ledger here — who changed blocks around you, and when.
/ledger inspect — toggle click-to-inspect a block's history.
/ledger rollback — undo a scoped set of changes; confirmation menu first.
Timelapse
/timelapse lets you watch the plot you're standing on rebuild itself from its earliest
recorded change. You must own it or be trusted on it. It hands you a hotbar and gives your
inventory back at the end.
| Item | Does |
|---|---|
| Red / lime dye | Play or pause |
| Snowball · Fire charge | Slower · Faster |
| Arrow · Spectral arrow | Step back · Step forward, one frame |
| Recovery compass · Compass | Jump to the start · past the last change |
| Lodestone | Mark from here — the next ⏮ Start jumps to this frame instead |
| Barrier | Done |
It replays the change ledger, so a plot with no recorded history has nothing to show.
Performance lint
/lint checks the plot you're standing on for entity, tile-entity and redstone
density, and flags what's likely to cause lag.
Click a warning row to see which chunks, worst first. Refresh rescans; Get book takes the report with you.
Treat the warnings as rough guides, and fix the worst chunks first.
