Are you someone who enjoys building in Grounded? Or do you want to conveniently build in survival? then this update is for you! In update 1.2, you can now summon a Handy Gnat Builder that you can control it yourself that you can use to build more easier!

Handy Gnat Builder is a useful helper that helps in players trying to build. This feature is only available in Creative Mode, Creative with Bugs Mode, or Custom Mode. If you chose Custom mode, you need to toggle it on, on the games settings. You’ll find it at the bottom side of the settings.
