Advanced Schematic Cannon

Large-scale building, made more efficient.

A mod that extends Create's Schematicannonto help automate building.

Advanced Schematic Cannon (ASC) is a mod based on Create's Schematicannon in Minecraft, with enhanced build speed, material supply, control over build areas and more.

To help large builds go efficiently, it supports build speeds of up to 256 blocks/tick.

It also supports material supply from Applied Energistics 2 (AE2) and building with ProjectE's EMC, helping with a wide range of tasks, from construction to removal.

Point of view

Spend less time building, and more time creating.

Less building work, more time for design.

Large builds take a lot of time in repeated tasks and preparing materials.

Advanced Schematic Cannon aims to automate this work as much as possible, so you can focus on building itself.

Beyond raising build speed, it manages material supply, what happens when materials run short, and even block replacement, so large builds go efficiently.

Efficient Construction

Build large structures in a short time.

Advanced Schematic Cannon supports building at up to 256 blocks/tick.

Build speed can be adjusted from 1 to 256 blocks/tick to suit the scale of the build and the performance of the server.

Networking and update processing when placing large numbers of blocks are also optimized, designed to achieve both fast building and lower server load.

  • Build speed of up to 256 blocks/tick
  • Build speed adjustable in steps
  • Optimized network synchronization
  • Suppresses unnecessary shape updates when placing blocks that have block entities

Automated Material Supply

Automate everything from preparing materials to supplying them.

Large builds also require gathering the blocks you need and carrying them to your building equipment.

Advanced Schematic Cannon supports the ME network of Applied Energistics 2 (AE2), so it can take stored materials directly and build with them.

When needed materials run short, it can request them through AE2's autocrafting and wait for them to be finished.

If ProjectE is installed, it can also keep building while generating the blocks it needs with EMC.

  • Material supply from the ME network
  • Automatic crafting requests for missing materials
  • Energy supply via AE2
  • Material generation with ProjectE's EMC
  • Material supply from chests is also supported

Beyond Schematics

Building help, even without a schematic.

Advanced Schematic Cannon supports not only building from schematics but also building work over a specified area.

With Filler Mode, you can fill a specified area, create walls and structures, or remove unwanted blocks.

Block removal is processed in order from top to bottom, designed to keep down the load at any one time.

It is useful in a wide range of situations, such as leveling land, preparing to build and removing structures.

  • 7 Filler Mode types
  • Fill specified areas and generate walls
  • Block removal that proceeds from top to bottom
  • Block entity protection
  • Setting to skip missing materials

Speed

Building fast, and stably.

Build speed can be adjusted from 1 to 256 blocks/tick.

When placing many blocks in a row, network communication and block update processing are optimized to keep server load down.

Actual build speed varies with the state of the world and the performance of the server.

Logistics

Supply the materials you need, automatically.

Works with AE2's ME network to take out the materials needed for building.

When materials run short, it can request autocrafting, and if ProjectE is installed, it can also generate materials with EMC.

Beyond Schematics

All kinds of work, from building to removal.

Place or remove blocks in a specified area without using a schematic.

It is also useful for generating large walls and structures, or removing existing buildings.

Create is required; AE2, ProjectE and JEI are optional integrations.

Capabilities

01 — High-speed Construction

Adjust build speed to suit the job.

Set build speed from 1 to 256 blocks/tick.

Beyond finishing large builds quickly, you can adjust processing speed to match server load.

02 — AE2 Integration

Automate material supply and crafting.

Connect to an AE2 ME network to use stored materials directly.

It also supports autocrafting requests for missing materials and energy supply from AE2 to FE.

03 — EMC Mode

Use EMC as building material.

With ProjectE installed, it can consume EMC to generate the blocks it needs.

Automated building with EMC is possible while managing the types and quantities of materials.

04 — Filler Mode

Run a variety of build operations on a specified area.

Seven types are supported: Fill, Wall, Tower, Box, Circle Wall, Complete Erase and Removal.

You can build or remove over a specified area without preparing a schematic.

05 — Top-down Removal

Remove structures from the top down.

Removal proceeds from the top of the specified area toward the bottom.

It is designed to remove structures while keeping down sudden load from falling blocks and lighting updates.

06 — Build Protection

Fine-tune build conditions.

Set conditions for replacing existing blocks, how missing materials are handled and more.

It also supports block entity protection and reusing schematics, so you can adjust its behavior to suit the build.

Blocks & Items

Blocks and items added

Advanced Schematic Cannon provides equipment for automating construction, along with items for specifying ranges and placing temporary scaffolding.

Blocks— 3

EMC Schematic Cannon

A schematic cannon that builds using ProjectE's EMC.

Instead of using the materials you have on hand, it builds by generating the needed blocks from EMC.

Enhanced Schematic Cannon

A building device that extends Create's Schematicannon.

It can run on FE, and can build schematics with materials pulled from an AE2 ME network.

Frame Block

A transparent block for making temporary scaffolding in midair.

It breaks instantly by hand and drops no item when broken.

Items— 2

Air Placement Wand

A tool for placing Frame Blocks in midair.

It consumes FE to place blocks at the chosen position, and can be used for things such as temporary scaffolding during construction.

How to use it (Wiki)

Range Board

An item for specifying the build area used in Filler Mode.

It can set a cuboid area, and when held, the current operation mode is shown at the bottom of the screen.
