Additional Placements
by FirEmerald
Players who want blocks placed on walls, ceilings or in vertical orientations can use Additional Placements, which adds new placement states to many blocks.
What it does
Additional Placements gives stairs, slabs, carpets and pressure plates extra placement states, so they can be set vertically, on walls or on ceilings. Stairs can connect vertically, and the mod reworks the placement logic of original blocks rather than adding a separate set. Many mod-added blocks are supported as well.
Stairs and slabs gain a large number of block states, including odd shapes with 108 possible stair block states. The mod also adds new items and includes testing spheres used for checking the placement states.
The mod runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. It is published for Forge and NeoForge across 23 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.1.2, and requires Forge Config API Port. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Vertical stairs
Stairs can be placed vertically and connect to neighboring stairs vertically as well.
Wall and ceiling placement
Pressure plates and carpets can be placed on walls and ceilings, not only on the floor.
Extra slab and stair states
Slabs and stairs gain additional states, with odd shapes covering 108 stair block states in total.
Support for mod blocks
Most blocks added by other mods are supported, so the new placements extend beyond vanilla content.

Testing placement

Who it’s for: Builders and modpack authors who want more orientations for stairs, slabs, carpets and pressure plates. Server owners need it installed on the server and in every client that joins.
