# Main Menu Bar
The main menu bar gives users access to crucial functionality of the mod. Here you can find menu items for accessing windows, manipulating selections, performing operations and viewing helpful information.

## File

| Function | Description |
|----------|------------------------------|
| Import Schematic | Imports schematic files to your clipboard |
| Export Schematic | Exports a selection as a schematic file |
| Open Reference Image | Adds a window with an image of your choice |
| Load Bedrock Packs | Allows you to import Bedrock Edition textures or models. |
| Save Selection as CSV | Exports a selection to a CSV[^note3] format. |
| Save Clipboard as JSON Model | This allows you to take blocks and convert them to an item model. Models can be used in resource packs or imported into Blockbench. |

| Distort | Distorts the current selection with simplex noise by a specified radius and distance. Radius is the scale of the noise and the distance is the amount it gets distorted by |
| Smooth | Applies a Gaussian blur on the selection to smooth out the selection. StdDev is the intensity of the smoothing operation and the threshold is the ‘cut-off’ of how much input weight is needed to affect the output |

[^note1]: Be aware that biomes in Minecraft are defined in a 4x4x4 grid. However, in order to make biomes feel more natural, vanilla warps the biomes visually. The biome overlay shows the "real" position of biomes, while biome blending and the f3 screen show the "warped" position of biomes.

[^note2]: Lava and other non-translucent fluids (if the game is modded) are not affected by opacity due to performance and mod compatibility concerns.

## Create

The **Create** submenu lets you make geometric shapes with your active block. Since these shapes are computed mathematically, they can adjust to any angle and transformation, giving you a lot of control over their look. When you 'place' these objects, you can use the [gizmo](gizmos.md) to reposition them and rotate them at arbitrary angles.

Each shape lets you tweak their XZ or XYZ dimensions, as well as having a toggle for individual sliders. In addition to controling rotation using the gizmo, you can also input specific angles for yaw, pitch, and roll in the 'advanced options' dropdown. Plus, there are options for making the shapes hollow, placing only the outer layer.

The current available shapes are:
- Sphere
- Cuboid
- Cylinder
- Cone
- Pyramid
| Show Key Presses| None | This shows your inputs including mouse clicks on the bottom right of the viewport. This can be useful for making tutorials. |
| UI Scale | None | A slider ranging from 0.5 to 2. This lets you change the size of all graphical elements in the editor mode. |
| Min Brightness | None | A slider ranging from 0 to 1. This lets you change how dark unlit places look in your world. A value of 1 means all blocks are fully lit, this is also known as Fullbright. |
| Fluid Opacity | None | A slider ranging from 0 to 1. This lets you change the opacity of transluscent[^note2] fluids to make it easier to look through. A value of 0 will make the fluid invisible. |

## Operations

The **Operations** submenu has a lot of features for modifying the selected part of your world
The **Operations** submenu contains various useful features for building. All operations require and affect selections.

| Fill | Ctrl+F | Fill a selection with the chosen block |
| Fill Nearest | None | Fills an area with the closest neighbor blocks, useful to repair areas or fill in gaps |
| Fill Nearest | None | Fills an area with the closest neighbour blocks, useful to repair areas or fill in gaps. |
| Replace | Ctrl+R | Replace specific blocks in the selection with the chosen block |
| Set Biome | None | Sets the selection to the chosen biome |
| Drain | None | Drains an area of all fluids, including waterlogged blocks |
| Waterlog | None | Floods an area with water, including turning waterloggable blocks into their waterlogged counterpart |
| Simulation > Gravity | None | Gravity simulation makes all blocks with air below 'fall' as if they were affected by gravity |
| Autoshade | None | Shades your selection using a sun angle, either at the player position or at a set value. Different blocks can be set for the appropriate shading. |
| Drain | None | Drains an area of all fluids, including waterlogged blocks. |
| Waterlog | None | Floods an area with water, including turning water-loggable blocks into their waterlogged counterpart. |
| Smoothsnow | None | Creates a smooth area of snow based on the existing terrain. |
| Simulate Gravity | None | Gravity simulation makes all blocks with air below 'fall' as if they were affected by gravity. |
| Trigger Updates | None | Updates blocks by simulating a random tick on every block that doesn't have a valid surface or neighbouring block. |
| Hollow | None | Hollows solid objects by filling them with air. |
| Fill Gaps | None | Fill Gaps does the opposite of the hollow operation, empty space within an object is filled with your active block. |
| Generate Colour Field| None | Generates a CIELAB[^note4] colour field using all non-transparrent blocks. |
| Analyze | None | Analyzes the blocks in the selection, giving information on counts and distribution |
| Animated Rebuild | None | The Animated Rebuild operation allows creators to present their build in a timelapse-style rebuild of the selected structure. |

The **Windows** submenu lets the user toggle the visibility of important windows. If you ever close a window and want it back, this submenu allows you to reenable it.

## Keybinds

The **Keybinds** button opens a window to edit and set keybinds for tools and operations.

## Help

The **Help** submenu contains useful information and configuration options.

Users can configure keybinds, find useful links to Axiom related resources and view this documentation.
The dropdown contains links to information and resources. The style editor can be accessed through this window, allowing you to change and import custom colours for the UI.
