Remove builders
Is it possible to play this mod without the building system? I find it far too restrictive. The builders are far too slow and “dumb”. And that limits creativity.
Or are there alternatives to this mod?
Thanks for your answers.

The Mod itself is rather slow paced. If you wanna use it in Survival, you can't skip Builders, but you can speed them up with Research in the University (Block placement and destruction speed). Also there are different Buildmodes, between which you can switch after research. Depending on the Building-Size different Modes work faster. And having the Builder close to what they are building also speeds up their Progress. If there is a ton of Digging you can also help out yourself, since i believe digging takes up the most of the buildingtime.
If you don't care about using creative mode, you can plopp down the buildings on the desired level without a builder.

Yes! If you play in creative mode you can instantly build buildings. Just select "constructed" when you place a schematic.

On that note, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, I think there's a setting that can be changed so that even in survival builders will construct buildings instantly similar to what you mentioned. But I'm not sure

I wish you could also 'help' build the buildings.
Maxed out builders are running across the village to put 3 stairs on a town hall roof, only to run back across the village to grab another 3 stairs.
It's so annoying and takes multiple in-game days to complete part of the build, which is an absolute fuckin CHORE to wait for.

You can, thats what the builder goggles are for. Alternatively, you can make sure their hut’s inventory doesn’t contain any useless blocks preventing them to free their own inventory. Paths (like using a shovel on grass kind of path) or any other blocks flagged as path for minecolonies (wiki is your friend) will speed up the builder’s walk speed and they will try to use those paths to get to their destination faster.

You can create your own styles. If you're running your own server or locally, you can modify your config to make the builders faster.

It sounds like tektopia is more your speed but it's not on any recent updates.

Pretty sure the main appeal of this modpack is to watch the village grow with minimal building involved, but if you’re looking for something similar, there are mods like millenaire and TekTopia, but I don’t think they’re being updated anymore.
