This datapack does not require any additional mods or libraries.

Simply place it in the datapacks folder of your world.

To make the tool use its custom texture, place the same ZIP file in the resourcepacks folder as well!


Warning!

Selecting extremely large areas may cause the game to crash. Use this tool responsibly.
