Maya's Builder Tools
by LukynkaCZE
Maya's Builder Tools lets a builder pick the orientation of a directional block before placing it, separate from its rotation, through an orientation menu.
What it does
Holding a directional block and pressing Left ALT opens an orientation menu, and scrolling the mouse wheel while the menu is open changes the selected orientation. The block is then placed with that orientation, independent of the rotation the player sets when placing it. The mod was built as a general building utility and is meant to grow with further tools.
Chests, Ender chests and bells are noted by the author as not yet rendering correctly with the orientation picker. The mod requires oωo (owo-lib), a UI library, and it is built on it for its menu. It is published for Fabric only, with builds for 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, and the latest file targets 1.20.1.
The mod runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it and players join without installing anything. Its source code is released under the MIT License and is open source, and the author has published a public issue tracker for reports.
