The ability to paste a random schematic from a given set
The Problem
I want to quickly make a realistic forest, by pasting a variety of tree schematics I made earlier. But when i'm using dozens of different schametics for a result that isn't repetetive, it's very time consuming to assign a different schematic to each toold, dozens of times. or to repeatedly switch the scematic applied to the tool im using.
A Solution
I think a better solution would be the ability to make a brush tool, that with each use, will choose a random schematic from a given list/set of schematics. So I will only need to use one tool, and one command, and then all i need to do is keep using the tool to place a forest without switching tools and schematics manually dozens of times.
Alternatives
No response
Anything Else?
The tree/forest scenario is just an exmaple. The same system could benefit those placing a variety of boulders or small houses etc, from a pre-made set.
easy alternative: load a different schematic on several different items and cycle between them.
yeah, that's what ive been doing. but I want to use like 20-30 different trees for a natural looking forest. my hotbar holds 9 tools, so after applying different schems to all those tools and placing them, I have to re-do it all again for the next set of 9 trees, and then again for the next lot... It's annoying. I don't see the point in messing around with so many tools and dozens of applications of the load schem, and brush schem command, when one single tool/command could do it instead.
And I'm trying to make massive, realistically sized forests, with thousands of trees. This suggestion would really help. Perhaps even better, would be a tree area brush or forest tool, that uses my schematics, so I can just draw the forest in seconds.
i'm aware. i'm not closing the issue, just saying there's workarounds until someone feels like implementing this.
also fairly sure there's multiple third-party plugins that do the same already
Would someone be able to mention the names, or links to said third-party plugins? I haven't been able to find any yet.

Wait I didn't know you could do that. How do you load a schematic on an item ?
Load the schematic, and then use /brush clipboard
