Auto Build Option

[PowPow]

An option for Auto Building would be nice. If clicked ON, the following would happen - When building something, let's say a Post Fence, instead of having to manually put the branch into the build window, the Auto Builder would jut grab a branch from your inventory and build the fence.

An option to Drag Building would be nice. If you want to lay stone, you click and then drag a line a certain distance, then you lay stone automatically across the line until the job was done or you get tired.

So turning on both Auto Build and Drag Build would make building something like a post fence across a distance much user friendly than currently.

-edit-

Also, I am new to the game, but it seems that this would help against botting. Anything that combats botting for better game play is a positive in my book.

but yes, this would be just about the only way jorbtar could combat bots.. Impliment things that should be a part of the ui

Not everybody can/wants to learn botting, so the automation of many task already implemented in the UI would be nice.

learn to shift click/mousewheel instead.. its just as fast. pretty much

What happens when you're just trying to use the signpost for storage and you don't want to build?

If you are asking me, then you go either to options or, hopefully, Xtended, and turn Auto Build off.

Xtended is an Ender's feature and if you want this to be a non-vanilla feature it should go to Wizards Tower.

No I dont like this idea. If you can't dedicate the time don't do it. When you build and work at something you add value to it.

I agree with Lady V here on that what we want to get we need to work for, but I believe that the vast majority of players, me included, just put an alt to build and go do something else with my main chars, and if it is outside and I feel the place might be dangerous, I start building with my main and then leave a fresh alt, so in the every day game, combining alts and shift/wheel we do have an auto build option, even it might not be what was thought to happen.

I do agree on a side thing, I think the times in the game for building and crafting almost everything are to long, and I also think that this long times might be one of the things that does lead people to bot.

I agree with LadyV too, the satisfaction and sense of achievement are part of what keeps us here building away year after year, lol. Hard work brings it's own rewards.

But I also think this - some tasks could do with being shortened a bit, which i've said before, I don't think it should be instant, as others have suggested before, but there is a middle ground between that and ages.
