goPaintAdvanced

goPaintAdvanced (gpa) is a high-performance fork of the goPaint plugin, designed to address the original's lack of maintenance, performance issues, and missing features. With full FastAsyncWorldEdit integration, survival-friendly editing, and modern optimizations, goPaintAdvanced delivers a vastly improved terrain painting experience.

Brushes & Painting

All Original Brushes: Every brush from goPaint is included and works as expected

Quick Start

Basic Usage

The main command of goPaintAdvanced is /gopaint (or /gp), and provides expanded functionality over the original:

# Open the goPaint GUI
/gp menu

# Get the goPaint wand item
/gp wand

# Toggle the brush on or off
/gp toggle

# Change the brush size
/gp size <size>

# Select a specific brush
/gp brush <brush>

# Reload the configuration
/gp reload

Brush Settings Export/Import

Save and share your brush configurations:

# Export current brush settings to the item in hand
/gp export

# Import brush settings from the held item into the GUI
/gp import

Commands

Command	Description
`/gp menu`	Open the goPaint GUI
`/gp wand`	Receive the goPaint wand item
`/gp toggle`	Enable or disable the brush
`/gp size <size>`	Change the brush size
`/gp brush <brush>`	Select a specific brush
`/gp export`	Export brush settings to held item
`/gp import`	Import brush settings from held item
`/gp reload`	Reload the configuration

Surface Modes

Exposed Mode (New)

The new exposed surface mode paints all blocks that are actually exposed to air, regardless of your viewing angle. This is the intuitive behavior most users expect.

Visible Mode (Original)

The original visible mode only paints blocks directly in your line of sight. This can cause confusion when blocks that appear visible aren't painted due to the raycast check not hitting them.

Migrating from goPaint

goPaintAdvanced is designed as a drop-in replacement for goPaint:

Visual Compatibility: The user interface remains mostly unchanged visually
Command Compatibility: Original commands still work (/gp toggle, /gp size, /gp reload)
Feature Parity: All original features are preserved and enhanced

Simply replace goPaint with goPaintAdvanced and enjoy the improvements!
