Could you build this?
No Pawprint is a client-side Minecraft mod that interacts with internal game engine rendering pipelines to display ghost-block overlays and manages complex spatial 3D voxel schematics.
What it would actually take: Built on the Fabric or Forge modding toolchain in Java, this mod hooks into Minecraft's internal rendering loop (OpenGL/Vulkan via Iris or Sodium) to render translucent ghost blocks at arbitrary world coordinates. It requires parsing and manipulating NBT schematic formats (Litematica / Sponge schematics) and managing client-side world simulation. This requires deep familiarity with the decompiled Minecraft source code, Mixin bytecode injection, and graphics pipeline management.
