Layout & Design Guidelines

This guide will go over the creation of the "example.txt" layout.

Lets start by showing you the code:

Line 1: 7,4,7,0

As you will see in the example file the first line consists of 4 digits separated by commas.

First Digit: How many blocks wide our design will be.
Second Digit: How many block tall our design will be.
Third Digit: How many block long our design will be.
Forth Digit: Future Development Use

Line 2: false

This line tells the plugin if it is allowed to build the design.

Line 3-9:

              TOP

  017,017,017,-12,017,017,017
  017,-15,-17,000,000,-15,017 R
L 017,000,-02,000,-03,-18,017 I
E -11,000,000,000,000,000,-13 G
F 017,-16,-04,000,-01,000,017 H
T 017,-15,000,000,-19,-15,017 T
  017,017,017,-14,017,017,017

             BOTTOM

Here we have our 7 by 7 grid of blocks we want to build. Let's look at them by their Material Codes.

• (017) - Wood Block
  
• (000) - Air
  
• (-01) - Furnace Facing Top
  
• (-02) - Furnace Facing Bottom
  
• (-03) - Furnace Facing Left
  
• (-04) - Furnace Facing Right
  
• (-11) - Door Facing Left
  
• (-12) - Door Facing Top
  
• (-13) - Door Facing Right
  
• (-14) - Door Facing Bottom
  
• (-15) - Bed Placemark, this is where we plan to have the head of the bed. This ensure that the space does not change while the bed is placed.
  
• (-16) to (-19) Are the foot of the beds and require -15 to be where the head will be.
  
• (-16) - Bed Faces Bottom to Top. Requires (-15) below (-16)
  
• (-17) - Bed Faces Left to Right. Requires (-15) left of (-17)
  
• (-18) - Bed Faces Top to Bottom. Requires (-15) above (-18)
  
• (-19) - Bed Faces Right to Left. Requires (-15) right of (-19)

Just so you don't have to come back to the Guide for what code is what I will be making a "List" of all the codes.

Line 10: ":"

This is the line separator. This will mark the end of that level of blocks.

Line 11-18:

The next level of blocks just contains WOOD and AIR.

Line 19 - 25:

              TOP

  017,017,017,010,017,017,017
  017,-06,000,000,000,-08,017 R
L 017,000,000,050,000,000,017 I
E 017,000,050,017,050,000,017 G
F 017,000,000,050,000,000,017 H
T 017,-09,000,000,000,-07,017 T
  017,017,017,010,017,017,017

             BOTTOM

Here we have a few more WOOD and AIR along with...

• (-06) - Torch Facing Right
  
• (-07) - Torch Facing Left
  
• (-08) - Torch Facing Bottom
  
• (-09) - Torch Facing Top
  
• (050) - Standard Torch - Direction based on placement of wall.

Line 27 - 33:

This level contains just WOOD for the roof.
