A minetest mod contains a chest with building definitions. The chest can spawn a NPC that does build the building for you. The mod uses the schemlib framework to handle the buildings

Features

Building target from file
- A Chest that allow you to choose a building and manage the building options
- The most ".we", ".wem" or ".mts" files are supported. just put the file to the buildings directory
- Flatting and cleanup the building place, remove all cruft-nodes from building inside
- Cleanup unknown nodes
- Ground level detection trough dirt_with_* nodes
- Optimized for realy big buildings. Try the AMMOnym_coloseum.we as a showcase
Building target configured

Creative mode
- Instant build allow you to get the result instantly
- Creative build by NPC without providing needed nodes
Builder-NPC's

Roadmap (not implemented yet)

Survival mode
- each NPC gets own inventory
- build a node only if there is place in inventory for the old one and the new one is avialable in inventory
- Use all nearly default:chest to store removed nodes (flatting) and to get nodes for building
Node mapping support
- a way to change the needed nodes (like in building defined default:wood but I like to use something from moretrees mod)
- the mapping should be able to map the unknown nodes

Vision / Ideas / maybe

other chests that generates a plan. The generated plan can be the daily work of a lumberjack as example
Architect-NPC instead of the chest to coordinate the build
Interface (API) to allow other mods create own "Plan coordinator"'s
