AxisRuler

AxisRuler is a client-side Minecraft mod for precise visual block measurement, available for Fabric and NeoForge.

It shows exact X, Y, and Z size in-world, renders the measured area around your selection, and keeps the result readable while you build.

What It Does

AxisRuler gives you:

• two-point measurement with exact axis readouts
• live preview after Point A before you place Point B
• in-world selection box, guides, labels, and line rendering
• pinned measurements you can keep on screen while working
• HUD readout for the current measurement
• color customization and style presets

Use

AxisRuler works with Alt + keybinds.

Basic workflow:

1. Look at a block and press Alt + Z to set Point A
2. Look at another block and press Alt + X to set Point B
3. AxisRuler will show the X / Y / Z size in-world and in the HUD

After Point A is set, the mod shows a live preview on the block under your crosshair before you confirm Point B.

Default controls:

• Alt + Z set Point A
• Alt + X set Point B
• Alt + C clear points
• Alt + V swap points
• Alt + R cycle measurement mode
• Alt + H toggle HUD
• Alt + G toggle guides
• Alt + L toggle labels
• Alt + J toggle connection line
• Alt + M copy current measurement
• Alt + P pin current measurement
• Alt + U clear all pinned measurements

Pinned measurements let you keep finished boxes visible while working on something else.

You can change the keybinds in:

Options -> Controls -> AxisRuler

Then place the correct AxisRuler jar (matching your Minecraft version and loader) into your mods folder.
