Carry On: Air Placement
Carry On: Air Placement lets a player set down a carried mob or block directly in open air, without first aiming at a target block.
What it does
The addon works with Carry On and keeps its normal carrying system intact. A player picks something up, finds a wall, aims at it and puts the carried object down. The air placement option changes only the final step, so the original process stays as the default for everything else.
Carry On: Air Placement works as an add-on to Carry On rather than a replacement for it. It works with the mobs Carry On supports and with the blocks and block entities Carry On can carry. The mod is built for Forge, with files for 1.18.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, and the latest release is 0.1.2-alpha for 1.20.1. It requires Carry On and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is an unofficial addon affiliated with the Carry developers, released under All rights reserved and not open source.
Key features
Open-air placement
Carried mobs and blocks can be placed directly in open air, instead of only against a targeted block.
Supported carried mobs
The placement option applies to the mobs that Carry On already lets players carry.
Unchanged base system
Carry On's standard pick-up and put-down flow stays available, so the addon only adds a placement choice.

Use cases
Building without a target block
A player who wants to position a carried object in the middle of a build can place it in the air rather than against a surface.
Who it’s for: Players who already use Carry On and want a more adaptable way to set down carried mobs and blocks. Server owners need to install it on the server along with Carry On, and every player joining that server needs it too.

Ever pick something up with Carry On and then realize you need a block in front of you just to put it back down? This small addon allows you to place what you're carrying directly into open air instead of requiring you to target a block first.
