Infinite Spread Button

Quickstart

1. Craft or obtain the Infinite Spread Button.
2. Place it in an open area. The button faces away from you when placed.
3. Hold any placeable block and right-click the button.
4. The held block is consumed in Survival, and the spread begins above the button.
5. To change the spreading block, hold a different block and right-click the button again.
6. Right-click with an empty hand to stop the spread. Breaking the button also stops it.

The spread replaces blocks in its path, so test it in an area where destroying terrain is acceptable.

Overview

The Infinite Spread Button causes a selected block to expand outward through the world in all six directions, similar to sculk spreading. It replaces air, water, lava, and other ordinary blocks as it travels.

Spreading produces sculk-like particles and sounds. The process continues indefinitely while there is an available path, and keeps checking for new openings if the spread temporarily runs out of room.

What It Adds

• Infinite Spread Button block
• Block spreading in all six directions
• Support for spreading any placeable block
• Sculk-like spread particles and sounds
• A server-wide fast-spread command for operators

The button’s own structure and bedrock cannot be replaced by the spread.

How To Use

Starting a spread

Hold a block in your main hand and right-click the button. The block begins spreading from the space above the button.

In Survival, one copy of the held block is consumed when the spread starts. Creative players do not lose the held block.

Changing the spreading block

While a spread is active, right-click the button with a different block. The previous spread stops and the new block begins spreading from the button.

Blocks placed by the previous spread remain in the world.

Stopping a spread

Right-click the button with an empty hand to stop its active spread. Breaking the button also stops the spread and removes the button structure.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft the Infinite Spread Button with sculk, sculk catalysts, and a warped button:

The button is also available in the Redstone section of the Creative inventory.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Spreading proceeds through air, water, lava, and other replaceable terrain.
• Blocks in the spreading path are deleted and replaced without dropping their normal items.
• The spread does not replace the button structure or bedrock.
• The default spread places up to 3 blocks every 4 ticks.
• Spread effects include sculk-like charge particles and ambient sculk sounds.
• Each button controls its own active spread.

Fast mode

Server operators can run:

/spreadfaster

Fast mode places up to 24 blocks per tick and applies to both active and future spreads. It remains enabled until the server restarts.

Progression And Strategy

• Place the button above or near the area you want to transform, then use a block that matches your intended design.
• Start with a small test area because the spread destroys blocks in its path.
• Use empty-hand right-clicking to stop the spread before it reaches protected builds.
• Bedrock provides a permanent boundary, while the button structure is also preserved.
• Use /spreadfaster for large-scale terrain transformation when the server operator permits it.
