Bedrock Bridging
Bedrock Bridging is a data pack that brings Bedrock Edition style mid-air block placement to Java Edition, with a toggle that players switch on and off.
What it does
The pack adds bridging that works like the Bedrock Edition mechanic: a player stands on a block, looks at the spot where the next block should go, and places it there. A subtle outline marks the target position, and a right-click places the block exactly where the outline shows. Speedbridging and stacked bridging are both possible, so the advanced techniques that Bedrock players use can be carried over to Java.
The feature is switched with functions. The bedrock bridging:on function enables bridging for the player who runs it, bedrock bridging:off disables it, and the trigger bedrock bridging toggles it without needing cheats. Its effect stays with the player who runs it, and normal Java bridging styles keep working as before.
The pack is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, plus a data pack, across 23 release versions 1.20 – 26.2, and is released under the MIT License, so it is open source. The server needs it, while players may add it and join without it. Public links exist for its source code and issue tracker.

How it compares
Bridging Mod is a client-side only mod under the MIT License, with files for 1.17 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Pro Placer is also client-side only and open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, for 1.20.1 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Bedrock Bridging instead needs the server to run it and is available as a data pack, so clients may stay unmodified.
