Pro Placer
by Fuzs
Pro Placer changes how held block placement works, so blocks are placed as fast as the game allows and the direction stays locked while the button is held.
What it does
Vanilla Minecraft attempts a block placement every 4 game ticks while the place button is held, which often leaves gaps or doubled blocks. Pro Placer removes that delay while the button is down and places the next block as quickly as possible. The placing direction is locked for as long as the mouse button stays pressed, so hovering over blocks outside that direction does not place anything new. Blocks can also be placed by clicking air in the direction being built, which helps with flying in creative mode and roof construction.
The mod is client-side only, so it works on vanilla servers as well. It requires Fabric API on Fabric, Forge Config API Port and Puzzles Lib, with Forge Config Screens as an optional addition. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 17 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3, and the code is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.
Key features
Instant held placement
Holding the place button places a new block as soon as the previous one is down, with no fixed tick delay.
Locked build direction
The placing direction is fixed while the mouse button is held, so stray cursor movement does not add blocks.
Placing against air
Clicking empty air places a block when the spot lies in the direction being built, which speeds up bridging and roofs.
Bedrock-style behavior
Placement and breaking follow the feel of Bedrock Edition, with easier and more accurate results in Java Edition.

Use cases
Bridging and roofs
Players building a long bridge or a sloped roof can place a continuous line of blocks without stopping to recheck each position.
Flying in creative mode
Blocks can be placed against air while flying, so builders do not need a solid surface to attach each block to.
Who it’s for: Players who build bridges, roofs and large structures in survival or creative mode, on single-player worlds or on vanilla multiplayer servers.

What the author says
Pro Placer overhauls the block placing logic to mimic the behavior on Bedrock Edition, making it a whole lot easier and faster to use. In vanilla Minecraft when holding down the button for placing blocks the game tries to place a block every 4 game ticks, no matter what. This very often leads to unwanted gaps or…
