Platforms
by ShetiPhian
Platforms lets players build decks, bridges, mineshafts, roofs and wooden coasters with a single wrench-driven placement tool.
What it does
The mod adds a placement system for building structures in the Decoration category. A wrench held in the off-hand or main hand opens a selection interface, and right-clicking a block starts a selection box that is confirmed with a second right-click. Blocks can be combined in the selection GUI, and the interface lets players pick a style, fill slots and craft from the bottom row. Deconstructing is possible, and some crafts require a minimum of 2 or 4 items depending on output.
Platforms runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and requires ShetiPhianCore on every loader. It is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. Builds cover 1.16.2 – 1.21.1 across 14 release versions, with 1.21.1-1.0 as the latest file for each loader, released 2025-08-22. The code is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Selection and placement
Right-clicking starts a selection box and a second right-click confirms it, after which the selection GUI opens for building.
Style switching
Shift-right-clicking changes between similar block styles, and right-clicking a similar block extends the placement.
Chimneys and pipes
A handrail placed on a roof can become a chimney pipe, and chimneys and pipes can emit toggleable particles.
Decorative details
Carpet can be placed as platforms, and snow and sand accumulate in their respective biomes.
