Creative Block Replacer
by Serilum
With Creative Block Replacer, a creative player can switch between placing and replacing blocks without changing menus.
What it does
The mod toggles a block replacing mode, so a block clicked with an item is swapped for that item rather than placed beside it. Sneaking three times in a row keeps the same position, which speeds up building in creative mode. Its setup depends on Collective, and the environment is server-side only, so players join a server that runs it without installing anything. Files cover 1.16.5 – 26.3 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the mod is published under All rights reserved.
Key features
Replacing mode toggle
Right-clicking a block with an item in replacing mode swaps the target block for that item.
Mode switching
Players can toggle between placing and replacing blocks while building in creative mode.
Fixed position repeat
Sneaking three times keeps the same position, so repeated placement stays on one spot.
