Frequent Block Picker
by marzipan99
Frequent Block Picker puts a movable panel in the Creative inventory that lists the building blocks a player picks most often and most recently.
What it does
The panel has two sections. Recent shows the blocks a player selected last, and Frequent ranks building blocks by how often they were picked, so stone, glass and oak planks rise to the top during a build. The mod counts block placements in the world and only tracks building blocks selected in Creative mode, which keeps the lists focused on construction work.
Players can drag the panel to any position, set the number of rows and columns, and pick up a single item from the panel. The panel is meant to be used next to REI-style item panels rather than replace them. Frequent Block Picker is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players join without installing anything. It targets Fabric, with files for 1.21.10, 1.21.11 and 26.2 under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Creative builders who reuse the same set of blocks across a build can keep them within reach instead of searching the full Creative inventory. The latest Fabric file, 0.3 for 26.2, was published on 2026-09-04, and the mod was first published on 2026-06-19.
