Place Candles Anywhere

by Jodek

Place Candles Anywhere lets candles be placed on the side of blocks and on air, the way leaves and honey already can be.

What it does

Vanilla candles only sit on a supporting block below them. This Fabric mod extends placement so a candle can attach to a block side or float in an open air space. The change applies to candles only and does not alter how other blocks are placed. Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. Files cover 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.1 for 1.21.11 as the latest build, released under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Side placement

    A candle can be attached to the side of a block instead of only the top face.

  2. Placement in air

    Candles can be set in an empty air space without a supporting block beneath them.

  3. Candles only

    The placement change is limited to candle blocks, so other block behavior stays as it is in vanilla.

How it compares

Full comparison

Floating Candles is another Fabric option for candles in air, server-side only and open source under the MIT License, published for 1.21.5 – 26.3. Candle Backport is a Fabric client and server mod for 1.16 – 1.16.5 and is not open source, so it fits older worlds rather than the 1.21 builds this mod targets.
