Olafs Relatively Placed Blocks
by lukeolafp
Olafs Relatively Placed Blocks lets small blocks share one block space, so a candle, pot, flower, chain or fence can be set beside an existing one.
What it does
When a small block is placed where another already stands, the existing block is pushed aside relative to the side the player faces, and both occupy the same space. Placement depends on block size, so some blocks take up less than a full block and others take two to four spaces. The mod runs on the client and on the server, and it is released under the Apache License 2.0 for Fabric, with files for 1.21.1 – 26.2 and the latest build for 26.2.
Key features
Shared block space
Small blocks such as candles, pots, flowers, chains, fences and panes can be stacked into a single block space.
Size-based placement
How much space a block takes depends on its size, with some blocks occupying two to four spaces.
Breaking and replacing
Breaking a shared block removes one item, and placing it again adds one back to the space.

What the author says
Two small blocks, one block space. Put a second candle, pot, flower, chain or fence where one already stands and they share the space, pushed aside relative to where you're facing. Share a space with anything small. For blocks that are smaller than a block, they can be placed up to 2-4 to a block, depending on block…
