The Problem

I want to quickly make a realistic forest, by pasting a variety of tree schematics I made earlier. But when i'm using dozens of different schametics for a result that isn't repetetive, it's very time consuming to assign a different schematic to each toold, dozens of times. or to repeatedly switch the scematic applied to the tool im using.

A Solution

I think a better solution would be the ability to make a brush tool, that with each use, will choose a random schematic from a given list/set of schematics. So I will only need to use one tool, and one command, and then all i need to do is keep using the tool to place a forest without switching tools and schematics manually dozens of times.

Alternatives

No response

Anything Else?

The tree/forest scenario is just an exmaple. The same system could benefit those placing a variety of boulders or small houses etc, from a pre-made set.

yeah, that's what ive been doing. but I want to use like 20-30 different trees for a natural looking forest. my hotbar holds 9 tools, so after applying different schems to all those tools and placing them, I have to re-do it all again for the next set of 9 trees, and then again for the next lot... It's annoying. I don't see the point in messing around with so many tools and dozens of applications of the load schem, and brush schem command, when one single tool/command could do it instead.

easy alternative: load a different schematic on several different items and cycle between them.

i'm aware. i'm not closing the issue, just saying there's workarounds until someone feels like implementing this.

also fairly sure there's multiple third-party plugins that do the same already

And I'm trying to make massive, realistically sized forests, with thousands of trees. This suggestion would really help. Perhaps even better, would be a tree area brush or forest tool, that uses my schematics, so I can just draw the forest in seconds.

Would someone be able to mention the names, or links to said third-party plugins? I haven't been able to find any yet.

no, also getting really off topic for an issue tracker at this point.

Wait I didn't know you could do that. How do you load a schematic on an item ?

Load the schematic, and then use /brush clipboard
