Minecraft's Most CONTROVERSIAL Building Feature | Litematica easyPlace Mod Review

Building something this big actually really reduces the usefulness of EasyPlace Making small, detailed builds layer by layer without having to switch blocks the whole time and without scaffolding has an insane effect on the building process

You already built it and designed it once, why should you have to do it again? It’s not cheating, it’s quality of life

Something else that's worth mentioning is health. I've been playing minecraft for nearly a decade and if I kept playing without easy place, at some point the toll constantly right clicking and scrolling to items would take on my hand would limit the amount of building I could actually do. I definitely think easyplace takes you further away from the vanilla minecraft experience, but so what? Not playing minecraft because your hand hurts also takes you away from the vanilla minecraft experience.

Minecraft is a building game, the process of building should not be boring or tedious.

One other thing that helps with the “it’s not unethical” side of the argument. You still actually have to build the design in a creative world. All it does is it lets you easily remake again. You still have to build it yourself!

I love using easyPlace, my favorite part of playing my survival is designing the structures in a creative world, but building them is quite boring for me, that's the reason I use easyPlace, but i'm sure there is also people that love building in survival. I think as you respect the rules you have set to your world, it is going to be a funny and unique expirience for every player

For me the fun is designing the builds and then getting them in my world. I don't mind using easyplace for it since I've already build it before and I don't use duplicate buildings

Depends on your/server owner's morals for the world or server. I'd have no problem using this on an SMP if the owner approves it (or I can do it without the owner knowing). But on my singleplayer world I think it steps a bit over the barrier of what I consider a vanilla enhancement and leans a bit into the hacks/mods territory. If I have to rely on mods like this I'd become super burned out if for whatever reason I can't use them in future

Easyplace is ethical from a balance perspective. It just saved you so much time. For me if you have designed the build you’re making, it’s a great tool. Also what option do you use to place blocks on the bottom before blocks on the top?

I don't care what people do on their servers. But I think saying something is "built in survival" (with no disclaimer) when it was built using easy-place seems dishonest. Especially if there is advertising around "largest survival build", even though a major part of the difficulty of survival building was taken away. I'd feel the same if somebody used dupe-glitches to generate resources for a mega build (sand for glass?). It's a survival* build.

The inclusion of my essay on easyplace caught me completely by surprise. Great video as always

Dude I'm so happy you're starting to get that many views man, that's huge... congrats! I hope u keep it up 💯💯

If the server allows "accurate block placement" and "fast block placement" features from Tweakeroo, or any other similar features, I think that there is no issue with using easyPlace. Many people (myself included) consider all of the options listed above to be cheats or unfair advantages. Ultimately the server gets to decide what is and isn't acceptable and players can choose whether to take advantage of it or not.

As someone who likes building crazy big stuff, my hands/tendons often really hurt in long marathons. Left clicking 1000 times is alright, but when the schematics adds up to hundreds of thousands or over a million blocks, it’s really tough. Same story with tools like fast placing

Save you the larger chance of carpal tunnel from right click spam.

im loving your videos, the flow, humour and just an interesting premise for the recent videos you've been making in general, im glad I found your channel :)

Aslong as you dont use it during competitions to (naturally) gain an unfair advantage. Its fine. Do and use what you want. In some cases, its simply impossible to go without a building scematic tool anyway (such as mapart)

The cat on the lap is the only reason this video is great. Other things make it good, but cats win every time. Also I have not finished it.

YES! This video hits all the check boxes! - amongus - strong opinions - over exaggerated call to action

If you built it there is no problem using litematica to schim your builds in. We use this a lot to put builds on 2b2t an anarchy server. As there isn't always months to work on a build do to griefers.

I haven't had the chance to play with this feature yet, but for me it's helpful for Redstone builds that I don't make a million times, I have my creative world where I make the contraption I want then copy and paste it over, so far its been manually placing it all but with this could creed up time and help me from forgetting stuff

me using litematica printer: 😅

if they will add auto settings to block this is fire

Love it when the chat in the begining chat only said explain cellphone that was a funi moment on the stream

I personally just use it with really intricate build like really detailed big trees where most of the stuff is floating leaves, it just for sake of not getting burnout with the tedius aspect of it, I really like designing my stuff in survival, but custom trees are the worst in survival

I think it's alright to use as long as the server permits it

Good video it was thoroughly entertaining

A similaire vidéo about the carpet /player feature would be interesting

Arthur? So great that your cat is keeping you company!

Litematica is epic. I think the fact that you can easily copy your creative idea builds to survival means making cool builds that otherwise wouldn't be built at all so much better. (Like in a you actually gather the resources way not a go into creative and you Litematica's paste schematic feature)

I use easy place because right clicking 30,000 times to build a farm sounds like carpal tunnel

Honestly shows what building tools could be added to survival. A potion which could increase reach for example.

Dude i think even Printer Mods are fine, at some point in your life you will realise putting hundreds of hours into a project isn't a brag, it's a threat. Like at the point the building isn't fun, but a chore, why are you even playing a game, when chores are already begging you to do them. I definitely don't want to come from work, cook, do the dishes, wash clothes etc, then sit down to play Minecraft and relax, and then build a humongous, million block project by hand, especially if i already have a schematic of it. (Well, sometimes i do, just like sometimes paint by number can be relaxing, but it's definitely not what i want to be forced to do always)

I respect builders that dont use it more but im fine with it

am i the only one who simply doesn't care what others do and just do what they think would be cool.

the kitty jump up bit lol

Minecraft is one of those games where cheating is what you consider it to be. I'm of the opinion that you can't cheat in a single player game, and if you're on a server and everyone agrees, it's fine. Personally we deal with a lot of dissociation and brain fog, and while we only recently tested easy place while making a mob farm, it did help a lot to keep us from taking literal hours to make a few basic platforms. It can also help with things like carpal tunnel in you're avoiding constantly crouching/shuffling through your inventory, though maybe those are only triggers for me 😅 I'm not sure how I feel about the part that fixes the orientation, I haven't tested it because our server isn't capable of it, but I can imagine it would be a lifesaver for complicated redstone or builds that use things like glazed terracotta.

I really disagree with the idea that it does not remove a skill aspect to building. Planning how to place blocks and engaging with what you're doing vs blindly spamming right click is a huge difference. For me it's equivalent to giving yourself infinite money in a strategy game and then saying you still need to decide what order to buy things in and how to deploy troops.

Honestly, Litematica's easyPlace feature is not unethical, because you still have to build the blueprint in a creative world, then get the resources for it, then clear out the area where your building it, and then you have to sort your inventory to get as much of the building materials in your inventory and THEN you can start building. Since you already spend so much time doing all the steps before you get to building, using easyPlace just speeds up the building process of it all. Everything else you still have to do manually and put time into that due to easyPlace not having any functionality to help with any of the steps prior to the final step, building the thing. So with that, easyPlace isn't unethical, it is just a QoL feature for builders who already spent so much time preparing to make the build in the server/world/whatever. While yes the floating block thing isn't right, and being able to do four blocks is also not right. But, as mentioned in the video, the placing blocks in air thing is a toggleable feature, but the four block thing is doable without easyPlace, you just have to be sneaking at the edge of the block and have the cursor aimed just right and you can place a block four blocks down.

The term "Ethical" used in this context is unironically hilarious, and as someone who isn't really familiar with mega builds and the community around them, the idea that something that makes it easier to do in any capacity being deemed unethical is just the coup de grâce. Just use it if you like it and its available to you in your server, and if you don't like it to the point that other people using it annoys you, that is on you - probably just try to ignore it.

Most of the time I’ve already spent countless hours in creative building the thing tearing it down and rebuilding it. When I get it into my survival world, all I want to do it collect my materials and get it built. So, I wouldn’t consider it cheating

You sound like a lawyer defending easy place

I HAVE BUILT SO MUCH WITH LITEMATICA! I COULD HAVE SAVED SO MUCH TIME IF I KNEW ABOUT THIS AFJHDFIHDSD

The real ones know why he's eating beetroots

banger video as per usual!❤

I don't really care if it's cheating tbh, I play minecraft to have fun and for me fun is building massive structures in survival. there is no way I'm wasting so much time tediously placing blocks when I could be not tediously placing blocks.

I mean if you make a structure in creative and make it a lite file and put into survival and still have to grind resources to build it. It isn’t cheating. It’s like saying architects are cheating cuz they have blue prints

"Brain dead gaming" Like building large scale projects wasn't brain dead already

wait for people to know about printer mode hahahaha

hi i love your builds ! just curious, whats your favorite real life building(s) architecture wise?

Litematica printer feature when

I feel like one has to be incredibly petty to be worked up over something as silly as an extra block of reach.

Great Video Max!

I have better things to do than placing and breaking blocks in a repetitive and undemanding way. It's not wrong but it should take as little time as possible.

I'm team EasyPlace, especially for large deco projects. There is still plenty of grind and work that has to be done.

personally i think easyplace is as much of an ethical building tool as a tool in a drawing software- for some people this is their job, and much more than a game, saving time using easyplace positively affects your life outside the game, leaving you with more time. my biggest argument for easyplace being ethical is the fact that you've well... built the structure already! you said specifically it only works on litematics; that means that for it to work you have to have already built it, you shouldn't have to double the amount of time you spend working purely because you want to see how something looks before you implement it.

i have been waiting months for this video

where is the axiom tuturial part 2?

Easy place, in my opinion is not cheating, you have to get the blocks and get in the place to be able to put them were they have to go, and is a tool to make building a bit more faster

I think easyplace is unfair from the competitive scene perspective. Imagine you are on a server and need to compete by building more farms than anyone else. By removing easyplace you make competition more fair since some people may not have access to it. But on technical smps where every project is public easyplace is probably fine

I dont understand people against it. Building isnt supposed to be difficult. So what if it makes it easier. The difficulty of the game is in the exploration, designing structures, redstone, etc. The actual building of it all should be enjoyable.

Easy place isnt a cheat in slightest as long as its in non competetive enviroment where its just show off bc its qol saving alot of time and just overall way too amazing thing

I agree with that guy who said the bigger the project the less cheaty it is. After all, you've already spent the hours designing the project, the likely days gathering resources, more hours crafting them into what you need. At this point, you're looking at like a whole week's worth of time for a single project. Who cares if an hour goes missing because of easy place? But if you're just building the typical minecraft log cabin, then easy place because really cheaty. Mostly because of how simply unnecessary it is. Using it will save you at most a few minutes. But it's not like you can do much in those few minutes (speedrunners not included). So why not just spend them little extra time getting a better look at your build, maybe finding something to improve since you need to engage with the game more. TLDR: Bigger project is less cheaty because individual block placement is dull, repetitive and boring, and changing any details would take an hour or more. Smaller builds is more cheaty since individual block placement is more detailed and can have meaningful impact on the build, and changing details would take minutes at most. But you do you. Aside from the mid-air placement, I don't see any real issues or problems. Just a slight reduction in that sense of achievement, which I really don't like in sandbox games.

Make sure to spoof your fabric client to vanilla using wurst 😉

Honestly as long as other people aren’t affected like hacking then just play the game like you like.

Now test hard place

god that you havent seen litematica printer

This video was for the cats

This comment is a sacrifice to the algorithm.

If it makes things more convenient and less boring, I don't see why it matters.

EasyPlace is interesting, while I don't think it's full on cheating I don't think it's very "vanilla" either. While some things like tweakeroo's placement I can see as being an extension of vanilla, EasyPlace feels almost like a borderline hack client, just hold right click and spin your mouse around. Me and my friends prefer not to use it, doing stuff manually even with tweakeroo still gives that sense of accomplishment imo. If and when I use it I do hate the fact that you can't use containers when it's on. Overall I think it's a good optional feature but not something I would recommend to anyone.

Judging by the comments, it's not that controversial and it's not really cheating. And I think it's quite satisfying to watch the replay of people "printing" their huge builds in a timelapses

2:02 I WAS THERE!! 2:24 I WAS THERE TOO

It is crazy how close we are getting to the 14 quadrillion subscriber mark😂

It takes carpal tunnel out of the equation

How can it be considered cheating if you are just re-creating a build you made in another world faster?

Watching this while building an airplane! :D

If people think that easyPlace is unethical I think they should see someone use Litematica Printer with max settings.

tbh its like a tool like we invent a wrench and manufacture/replicate those same wrench to mass produce it, litematica and easy place is like that... If you think its unethical dont use it, Just like when you have a twitter account my opinion and ur opinion doesnt matter.

This is literally a game that you entirely are set on building stuff that YOU like not what others like so if you build with help and you like to build like that then why does anyone else matter

Mom, can we have Litematica? "We have Litematica at home." Litematica at home: Structure block

Everybody is assuming they are just making the designs themselves in creative or whatever, then just copy and pasting. But what about those of you that beg everyone and anyone for premade schematics you then just steal, copy, paste, and then take the credit for yourself while keeping your process hush hush?

I do hold some guilt when using litematica in general, but if I am gonna build it the same way anyway, why take the extra time to do it vanilla?

Axiom devs taking notes be like

Wahoo!

Easy place sounds like aimbot for building.

There's no point on building in a game focused on building, if you're not having fun. Manually placing a zillion blocks one by one isn't fun in the slightest

Too bad litematica doesn't have the printer mode that schematica has. It will automatically switch between up to 9 blocks and place them for you when you're in range.

Hope you're doing well!

Oh god... I missed the Vid D:

Why i can't place the blocks it keep saying "action prevented in easyplace" even tho i have the block in my inventory

a case for easy place

YEE NEW VIDD

We all know building the this cruel trap / mass kill chamber is totally ethical but if we use a mod that makes it faster and more convenient it is still ethical?

WHEN DID U GET A CAT CAM!?!?

This question doesn't make any sense to me, if Litematica is "cheating" what does that mean for minimap mods? Mods literally can't be cheating, you either use them in your own world or server. In which case you get to make your own rules. If you don't want to use it cool, but that doesn't make it cheating.

I design in creative, collect in survival... and reward myself with easier building in survival (and saving my fingers from early retirement lmao). Couldn't care less what other think about it haha.

Looks like you'll be able to make my cube using the new axiom features

It's a game. Play the way you want. It's only cheating if you're playing in a community that's agreed it's unfair.
