Air Place

by Apmaster2

Air Place lets players place blocks into empty air, without needing an adjacent block to attach to, once a datapack is loaded.

FabricForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT License1.20.2 – 1.20.4

What it does

The mod ships as a datapack that changes block placement so a block can be set into an empty space. Air placing works only in creative mode and in survival, where the implementation has been tested. Run the reload command after the first loading of a world that has the datapack, so the change takes effect.

Air Place requires Commander Lib, which must be installed alongside it on Fabric, Forge and Quilt. Server owners install it, and players can join with or without it. Files cover 1.20.2, 1.20.3 and 1.20.4, with 0.0.1 for 1.20.4 as the latest build, released under the MIT License. The code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Placing blocks into air

    Blocks can be set into an empty space without an adjacent block to attach them to.

  2. Datapack-based change

    The placement change is delivered as a datapack, so the world must load it before blocks can be placed in air.

  3. Reload after first load

    A reload command is needed after the first loading of a world that uses the datapack.

  4. Creative and survival modes

    Air placing works in creative mode and in survival mode, as tested by the author.
