No Nerdpoling
by ivangeevo
No Nerdpoling stops a player from placing blocks in mid-air, so the jump-and-place pillar technique no longer works.
What it does
The mod blocks block placement while the player is airborne, which removes the practice of jumping and placing blocks beneath the builder to raise a tall column. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1 only, with Fabric API required on Fabric and version 1.0.1 as the latest file, released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.
Key features
Mid-air placement disabled
Blocks cannot be placed while the player is airborne, so placement needs a supporting surface.
Vertical pillars restricted
Building tall structures by jumping and placing blocks under the builder is no longer possible.
Terrain obstacles matter more
Without instant pillars, exploring terrain and building through it becomes more deliberate.
