## Settings

The command and event builders have some settings to customize the builder to your liking. They can be found by pressing the "Settings" button in the top left of the builder. 

When you open the settings page you will be able to switch to the general settings, block colors, block defaults and keybinds sections with the menu on the left. 

You can also restore the settings to their default by pressing the button in the bottom left.

## Bulk Operations

In the [Command and Event Builder](#command-builder), you can select multiple blocks at once. This feature will allow you to move them, duplicate them, save them as a Block Template, and even delete them. To perform a Mass Select you can hold down the shift key, left click, and drag your cursor over the blocks you wish to select.
