FabricServer-side onlyCC0 1.0 UniversalOpen source1.21.1 – 26.3

What it does

The placer block is crafted like a dispenser, with a piston in place of the bow. It places blocks, including crops, and keeps the rotation of player heads and banners so they face the way they were set. Blocks can also be placed upside down, depending on the placer's orientation. The mod supports Panda Block Name and Panda Heads when those are installed. Fabric API is required. Only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. Files cover 1.21.1 and the 1.21.4 – 26.3 range, and the code is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which makes it open source.

Key features

  1. Craftable placer block

    The placer is crafted with a piston, so it can be made in survival without a special recipe.

  2. Crop planting

    Crops can be placed by the placer, which works for planting farms automatically.

  3. Rotations and orientation

    Player heads and banners keep their rotation, and blocks can be placed upside down based on the placer's orientation.
