Build tools
Can we have some way to easily create builds as per MinecraftEDU build mode? Doing things like fencing off areas with special blocks is near impossible due to every block having to be placed manually.

Having a build mode would certainly be cool, with some faster methods of manipulating terrain. I have found that learning /fill and /clone commands has helped me a ton in building my worlds.
I use /fill for example to place border blocks around an area to contain students (one side at a time). Here's how I would do that:
1) Stand at one corner of the area and note your coordinates (may need to turn on SHOW COORDINATES in the settings).
2) Type: /fill x y z and press Enter. (replace x y z with the actual coordinate numbers) This will not do anything, but will record the numbers internally to make it easier.
3) Move over to the next corner of the area you want to border off.
4) Now type / and then press the up arrow. This will bring up your previous entry, which was the start of the code with the initial coordinates.
5) Now add: ~ ~ ~ border_block and press Enter. (The whole thing should say: /fill x y z ~ ~ ~ border_block) (~ ~ ~ represents where you are standing currently)It takes some practice to get used to, but can save a ton of time once you learn it. You can also place them up high in the air or underground by changing the middle number.
