  Please add this! I want to move by base, because I stupidly built it at the starter location, which is boring and flat. But no way I'm rebuilding the buildings I already built :( So now I'm basically stuck at the starting location.

  I don't know why this isn't more upvoted, maybe people don't realize how amazing this would be?! Also, not just buildings, include terrain as well! They have it in terraria, and I know for a fact that on the dev side they have this feature, because I have seen several areas that are 100% identical. Give us another tool that is a selector and we can use it to select either block by block, or in large selections and then refine the selection and save it to the tool, with the option of upgrading the tool to store several copies of different selections! That would be AMAZING!!!!!

  I highly agree with Malicor. This is a must have function. Scan an area, save it as a blueprint. Share blueprint or just use it for private goals.

  I really need this in the game asap! Building every single pillar out of Glowstone and Bricks bit by bit is sooo tedious.
  Imagine you spent alot of time creating a wall the perfect height with custom borders on the top and bottom and want to apply it to the whole building. If you remove bit by bit it takes ages and if you remove the whole wall and rebuild it bit by bit its time consuming too.

  Alternative to the other plausible building suggestions: A hammer-option that, when selected, copies the shape of a variable surface of ONE specific material.
  
  Basically: You want to create a circular tower? build the layout one block high, then you can use this option to "raise" this circular shape as high as you want.
  
  Showcases are plenty if you look up "Minecraft building wand"

  Dragon Quest Builders 2 had a cool system for building with the idea of blueprints. You could copy a building and then lay out the blueprint and fill it yourself or let the villagers do it for you, as long you had the materials on a chest. You also had some pre-loaded blueprints that you learn along the way and so on. Also the idea of rooms, like you build a normal room, that's a room. If you add a beds that becomes a dormitory, if you add cooking station it becomes a kitchen and so on. That game has some cool ideas to take from.

  I came here with the similar request.
  
  I and my friend built separate bases on own servers but we decide to continue play on my server. Of course my friend doesn't want to loose all hours spent on building the base.
  
  Copy/transfer by parts or the whole claimed with flame area would be the best solution. It even be possible for example to move claimed area clearly coordinate-to-coordinate from one server to another without move to somewhere else, if you decide it will be more fair.
  
  Also it can be combined with this "copy voxels" feature request.

  would be cool if we could import or export built altar bases between worlds, since the whole map is same the altars could go to the same exact spot in every world the are imported to.

  If the base location is empty, you'd paste your whole base into another's world. this would enrich multiplayer with singleplayer builds, and make you feel more at home.
