Isn't it better to have these items in The Mighty Architect mod?

• Staff of Symmetry
• Handheld Blockzapper
• and maybe other decorative blocks

I'm not confident about the last one, the last one could be up to preference. Maybe if that one was a standalone mod more people would download it and people could download parts of this mod that they want?

The first two items really aren't in tune with cogwheels, water wheels and other stuff. All of the stuff in this mod are somehow tech and redstone related in a neat way, but the first two kind of ruins it and makes it a mod that enables people to cheat on servers.

The Staff of Symmetry actually used to be in TMA back in 1.12, and migrated to create when TMA became a client-only building tool.
I completely agree that these tools and the schematics have nothing to do with any of the stuff added in 0.1, however this will change as the mod grows. More content will come to flesh out the modules, and more connections and interactions between them with it.

I love this mod because at the core it adds nothing crazy to the game. All the new features are very smart, well thought-out and intuitive. It's easy to understand them by just looking at how things work mechanically inside the game, and you don't need to go through long pages of wiki to do simple things. I wish those few less relevant elements were on a separate mod that still could be dependent on this mod (under something like 'TMA for Servers'). Also please see my other suggestion here #28
