Structures

Structures

A packet-based structure system for Minecraft, powered by PacketBlocks.

Structures lets you create, manage, and display packet-based builds that can be shown or hidden for specific players. All without changing the actual world!

Features

- Create Packet-Based Structures — Build entirely virtual structures that exist only as packets. - Per-Player Visibility — Show or hide structures for individual players on demand. - Instant Updates — No world edits or block updates, everything is rendered client-side! - Custom Animations — Add show/hide animations to structures for smooth transitions. - In-Game Editor — Build structures block-by-block using an intuitive edit mode. - Copy & Duplicate — Clone existing structures and paste them anywhere with automatic rotation. - Integration Ready — Perfect for developers wanting to display custom visuals, events, or world overlays.

Example Uses

- Show private or team-only structures. - Create holographic arenas, minigame visuals, or build previews. - Display world regions, borders, or effects visible to certain players only. - Build dynamic event structures that appear and disappear with animations. - Preview builds before placing them in the real world.
