Placement Delay
Placement Delay lets a player set how long vanilla item and block placement waits between uses.
What it does
Placement Delay is a client-side Fabric mod that changes the cooldown on vanilla block and item placement. Separate delays can be set for blocks, end crystals, XP bottles and other items, which covers cases where a rapid-use default is too fast or too slow for a player's setup. Servers still enforce their own limits, so the anti-cheat flags rapid use regardless of the client setting.
Key features
Vanilla place and use delay
Adjusts the delay between place and use actions for vanilla items and blocks, without replacing the base game logic.
Separate delay categories
Blocks, end crystals, XP bottles and other items each take their own delay value, so one setting does not affect the rest.
Server limits stay in force
Server-side anti-cheat still enforces its own rapid-use limits, so a shorter client delay does not bypass them.
