Build strategy the 5x5 Cactus farm column ??

[spaik66]

Michael and friends. Using minebot 1.8.9 since 2015 with txt files (mining & farming), its great to see action here after 3 years for questions!! 1) On building strategy. Creating automatic a 5x5 Cactus farm pilar its a must on servers and i cant make it happend !!! 2) On building strategy. Is there a way to make it place a specific block to specific x,y,z? Like "/minebuild place 1(stone) 3050,65,-400" 3)The "/minebuild expand". I cant make it work- even if i tried a lot with many pos1&pos2. Is only for one block?(dont think so, cause we mark an area with the pos) Is only to make it repeat the same stracture in front of us? - to west, east,north, south starting from the same place? - or it work to up-down? /minebuild pos1 /minebuild pos2 /minebuild expand 2 west All this we need it, cause servers start blocking the schematic programms!!

Hello spaik66, I'm able to answer your first two questions, but I'm not familiar with the command in your last question.

1) The current version of minebot does not support cactus, because it damages the player. Also, the reverse commands works in layers. Meaning it doesnt like placing 1x1 pillars very much. Try making a template of just one pillar instead.

2) You can have it start whereever you wish. Use the move command to change the starting blockpos.

Expand works like this:

Expands 4 blocks in the direction you are looking
/minebot expand 4
Expands 4 blocks to the north
/minebot expand 4 NORTH
Expands 4 blocks to the up
/minebot expand 4 UP
