The menu is organized by color for easy navigation:

* **Green**: Preferences (click distance, max size, mixing strength, falloff strength)
* **Magenta**: Toggle masks on or off
* **Blue**: Overlay settings
* **Red**: Ergonomics
* **Orange**: Brushes useful for organics
* **Light blue**: Brushes useful for structures

Quick note: if you are using **Axiom** or got used to the look and feel of **goBrush/goPaint**, you probably want to keep **Brush mode enabled**, and set **Edge to Center**.\
\
With **Brush mode enabled**, you perform all of the operations, with the **Nether Star** in your **main hand**, just like with **goBrush/goPaint.**

With **Origin set to Center**, the shapes start from the block that you're looking at instead of its surface, a behavior you would expect to see in **Axiom.**

EdgeIf you are used to the **Effortless Building** mod or didn't use any of the previous tools, you'll want to **disable the Brush mode**, and set the **Edge to Face.**

With **Brush mode disabled**, you perform all of the operations, using **the blocks** in your **main hand**, the behavior you would expect in the original mo&#x64;**.**

With **Edge set to Face**, the shapes start from the neighbor of the block that you're looking at, a behavior you would expect in the original mo&#x64;**.**
