Block To Display

The mod converts placed blocks into block display entities and lets them be converted back into blocks. Block displays can also be grouped together automatically or by hand with a command, which keeps large builds easier to manage. Fabric API is required, and the mod is published for Fabric only, across 16 release versions 1.21.1 – 26.3, under the MIT License and as open source.

Because the work is done through commands, the mod is most useful on creative worlds and servers where operators build with them. The blocktodisplay replace command swaps blocks for displays, and blocktodisplay replacenear applies the same change to specific blocks within a given radius. Players and server owners should take care with bulk replacements, since large numbers of created displays can flood chat and get an operator kicked, and there is no separate undo step, so a mistaken replacement has to be reverted by hand.
