Editor Team Question: What should we do next? #8

As some people have mentioned, customizable brushes, similar to the clone command, would be amazing. Also, while I understand replicating the WorldEdit mod may infringe on copyright, getting as close as possible to it would be awesome, as I'm sure many of us are already familiar with it. Random fill percentages (i.e.: randomly sprinkle some cobblestone in with stone) would be very cool, as well as being able to omit specific block types from selection, instead replacing them with a block of our choice. This is so cool, and I can't wait to see it continue to develop! |

This feature is an absolute must! If this editor aims to be fully functional, it eventually needs to do what WorldEdit does and do it better. |

100% agree!! The Editor API will unlock this depth of functionality. Definitely "brush up" on your JavaScript/Typescript in preparation! :) That said, we've got mockups for exposing multiple block selection with ratio specification + random fill as part of the next iteration of a block palette/block picker. Bonus fact: During an internal hackathon to test early iterations of the Editor API a while ago, a clone stamp extension (Photoshop inspired) was prototyped to stress test some other functionality. |

I made a couple discussions but like someone said in this discussion, something close to worldedit along with an API for gametest would be nice. Will add more ideas shortly 😁. |

How about supporting the pickblock hotkey? |

If you are in the "Crosshair Mode", the pick block feature works as it does in Creative. |

Yes, but it doesn't select the block in the brush. |

This is included in our mockups for the next iteration of block picker/hotbar! Stay tuned! |

having just started to play with it the 3 things that spring to mind are: 1, Saving different copies to use as brushes |

You can rotate the selection before committing to the paste. If you use the paste preview, (ctrl+shift+v) you can move the selection box, flip it, and rotate it. Then confirm the paste afterwards. The problem is though, there's no preview of the copied blocks, so it's like a memory game😂 |

Schematics seem like a must, I design something in editor mode, and rather than porting over the whole build, I’d get a semi transparent no collision schematic, with a materials list. This would dramatically improve the survival experience and if it’s “not minecrafty enough” just simply don’t use it. A “.mcschematic“ file extension would be allowed to be imported into vanilla Minecraft for recreating in survival. The schematic would include a Materials list UI, and it’d only provide you with a holographic 3D model of your build that you can toggle on and off in the materials list UI, you have to mine and craft all of the materials, this only provides a mental advantage for the average player. I love designing my builds in Creative, but porting them over stresses me out beyond limits. A premade materials list, and a 3D schematic to move around at will, will dramatically change how a lot of people play and approach building in Minecraft. Instead of beating a dragon, these schemes can add a new personalized goal, of collecting and placing blocks to create your dream build. This is a tool, and I consider it anything but cheating, it’d be optional, but once the word gets out about it. It’d dramatically change how I and many people play, and approach Minecraft. Imagine sharing schematics with your friends or online, the joy of building that fancy new red stone contraption, or a Little cottage, with the mental advantage of a schematic. This would introduce a new way of sharing your builds and ideas to the community. And it’s quite frankly a beautiful idea, schematics will change Minecraft Bedrock for the better, they’ll be that one feature that will improve your game play experience and it’ll create a new aspect of social interactions and sharing ideas. |

Definitely not cheating. Litematica is one such Mod on the Java version, that does exactly this. |

Inventory and fill percentages! |

+1 - included already in the next iteration of block picker/palette! |

Any plans on implementing the percentage when picking a list? I think adding an inventory combined with the current searchbar would still work better than being forced to always type your block. What I also appreciate so much about fawe search suggestion is that you can arrow key up and down to go through the suggestion list, I know for instance what is at the bottom of the list when i do //set green_ and instead of going over the whole list i'd arrow up to have the last block.

Looking forward to the Editor API! That said, here are my initial thoughts:
Love the Editor, good job, and I'm looking forward to the future of this tool! |

Would love to see more brush shapes and maybe more brush and selection options such as a filter to exclude or replace blocks within the selection or brush. Maybe also being able to set block data that is currently available in the fill command. There is so much potential for this tool! |

Some answers now that we sort of have some to share! :D

A "play" mode to test your map, that will basically clone the world (all changes made in play mode won't be saved) and allow you to test it as a user, similar to how it works in games like Mario Maker Edit: also a way to export as a java world, having something like Chunker built in |

100% yes for "playtesting" your map in a way that isn't super time consuming and bulky! Internally we're referring to this as "Edit/Test," and we've moved the priority of this up, and we're hoping to expose a "beta" version of this. Stay tuned! Having something like Chunker built-in: Major wishlist item on our side, too! Some dependencies for us to work through, but know it's on our radar! <3 |

There could be a way to edit biome data. An absolute need, because Bedrock does not have /fillbiome, unlike Java. |

It's on the backlog! |

What is the #1 thing you want us to do next? Either new or iterate.
