    Display the coordinates of the cursor (yellow/red box) in build mode. This would make counting blocks far easier.

    Coordinates of the block behind the cursor can be displayed by pressing right shift button (ty to spunkiethefirst), but this isn't in the keyboard settings. Please add, so it isn't a secret anymore.

    If you hold right shift it will display the entity coords of the block you are looking at however this probably doesn't work for free floating instances like placing the core in create docking. There are some instances where it will fail to show the right shift information though, I think it fails on uninitialized blocks like you get when placing with a large build selection or symmetry planes at long distances.

    Implementation complete.

    For reference:

    Enable this mode in the top right corner of the advanced build mode.
