NoGravityBlocks
NoGravityBlocks keeps sand, gravel, concrete powder and other gravity-affected blocks in place once they are placed, so builders can work without supports.
What it does
Normally a block such as sand, gravel, concrete powder, an anvil or a dragon egg drops as soon as the block beneath it is not solid. With the mod installed, these blocks stay exactly where they are placed, including when nothing is underneath them. Blocks that normally follow the gravity mechanics remain suspended in the air after they are placed, and existing worlds are compatible.
The mod is built for creative building, map making and large structures, where it removes the need for invisible supports or temporary workarounds. It is a lightweight, single-purpose change: it adds no new items, menus or settings, and it works immediately after installation. Only the gravity behavior of affected blocks is altered. It runs on the server, and players join without installing anything.
Files are published for Fabric only, across the 26.1 – 26.1.2 range, with 1.0.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest build. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Normally, blocks like sand, gravel, concrete powder, anvils, dragon eggs, and other gravity-based blocks will immediately fall when there isn't a solid block beneath them. With NoGravityBlocks…
