Handy for placing logs, pillars, or pistons in specific orientations.<br \/>\n*   **Diagonal Placement**: Easily place blocks diagonally, enabling faster construction.<br \/>\n*   **Fast Placement**: Hold down to place blocks rapidly.<br \/>\n*   **Fast Breaking**: Creative-mode utility to break blocks faster.<br \/>\n*   **Directional Lock**: Lock your cursor to a specific block face for rapid, aligned placements across a surface.<\/p>\n<p>### \ud83c\udfc3 Navigation &#038; Survival<br \/>\n*   **Auto-MLG Engine**: A high-performance survival system that uses a **FallSimulator** to predict lethal falls and automatically execute recovery actions.<br \/>\n    *   **15+ Methods**: Water Bucket, Slime, Boats, Cobwebs, Twisting Vines, Powder Snow, Hay Bales, Bed, Ender Pearl, and more.<br \/>\n    *   **Dynamic Ranking**: `MlgMethodSelector` ranks survival methods based on health, fall distance, and inventory availability.<br \/>\n    *   **Precision Execution**: Uses the `PiggyActionQueue` at `HIGHEST` priority for frame-perfect, anti-cheat friendly interaction.<br \/>\n    *   **Seamless Handlers**: Automatically manages &#8220;cleanup&#8221; (removing water, jumping off slime) once safe.<br \/>\n*   **Auto-Parkour**: The `AutoParkourHandler` monitors your movement and automatically performs jumps for clearable gaps. It integrates with `PerfMonitor` to adjust jump timing based on current server latency.<\/p>\n<p>### \ud83d\udcd0 Shape &#038; Visual Guides<br \/>\n*   **Light Level Overlay**: Press `L` to toggle a completely dynamic overlay that highlights areas where monsters can spawn!<br \/>\n    *   **Island Effect Outline**: Drawing inspiration from the best visual mods, the overlay perfectly traces the borders of danger.<br \/>\n    *   **Tier 1 (Orange)**: Warns you about areas that are exposed to the sky. Mobs will only spawn here at night.<br \/>\n    *   **Tier 2 (Red)**: Highlights deep dark areas (caves, under roofs) where mobs can spawn at any time.<br \/>\n    *   **Seamless Textures**: The outline intelligently maps to the floor and walls, seamlessly combining without any z-fighting or overlaps.<br \/>\n*   **Shape Selectors**: Detailed guides for placing blocks in specific shapes.<br \/>\n    *   Lines<br \/>\n    *   Spheres<br \/>\n    *   Rings<br \/>\n    *   Blocks (Cubes)<br \/>\n*   **Refined Placement Logic**: Shape placement now follows a sophisticated queue system that respects **CPS (Clicks Per Second) limits**.<br \/>\n    *   **Anti-Cheat Friendly**: Prevents instant-place bugs and ensures placement frequency matches configurable server limits.<br \/>\n    *   **Smooth Construction**: Blocks are placed sequentially at a controllable rate, making the building process feel more natural and preventing server kicks.<\/p>\n<p>### \ud83d\udee1\ufe0f Safety &#038; Anti-Cheat<br \/>\nPiggy Build comes with a **&#8221;No Cheating Mode&#8221; enabled by default**.<br \/>\n*   **Safety First**: This mode prevents you from using &#8220;cheat&#8221; features (Fast Place, Directional Placement, etc.) while in **Survival** or **Adventure** mode.<br \/>\n*   **Fair Play**: Prevents accidental bans on servers that detect fast interaction frequencies.<br \/>\n*   **Creative Freedom**: All features remain fully unlocked in Creative Mode.<br \/>\n*   **Server Enforcement**: When connected to a server with **Piggy Admin**, anti-cheat settings are automatically synchronized and enforced.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>## Controls<\/p>\n<p>You can rebind these keys in the standard Minecraft Controls menu under **&#8221;Piggy Build&#8221;**.<\/p>\n<p>| Action | Default Key | Description |<br \/>\n| :&#8212; | :&#8212; | :&#8212; |<br \/>\n| **Shape Selector** | `V` | Radial menu for shapes.
