scredriver enhancement
Posted: Fri Jul 10, 2015 06:34the screwdriver is a great tool and great improvements were made on it.
i remember that in the old times, the screwdriver used left-click and sneak+left-click to rotate blocks.
while sneak+left-click changed the "mode" of the screwdriver so that it would rotate a different axis.
this was then changed to left-click and right-click for horizontal and vertical rotation.
now it is much easier to use it.
but the rotation always follows a set cycle. if the rotation that you want to have is at the end of the cycle, you have to use the screwdriver 5 times over. not a big problem for some decorative stair rotating, but it becomes a big problem when you want to decorate a wall with floor tiles or slabs and have to rotate each tile 5 times and the wall has ~100 blocks.
it consumed 4 screwdrivers to finish it and was very annoying.
my suggestion is to add a sneak+left-click and sneak+right-click function to the screwdriver that rotates blocks in the opposite direction.
so if the normal rotation cycles clockwise through all the possibilities, then the sneak+click rotation should cycle counter-clockwise.
this way, if i had to rotate a block 5 times, i could use the sneak-rotate and only need to rotate it once.
this would make large rotation projects easier and less screwdriver-consuming.
is it possible to add that feature?
