Block Placer
by antharuu
Block Placer adds a redstone block that places the block in its inventory in front of it, as a constructive counterpart to the Dispenser.
What it does
Where a smart dropper spits out items, the Block Placer places the blocks held in its internal inventory directly in front of itself. It is aimed at automated construction farms and technical contraptions that need repeated block placement. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1 – 1.21.5, with 1.0.1 for 1.21.5 as the latest file.
