Reacharound
by spAnser
Players who bridge across gaps or stack slabs use Reacharound to place blocks downward and upward from bedrock-style placement support.
What it does
Reacharound ports the core placement behavior of a Forge bedrock block placement mod to Fabric and Quilt. Blocks can be set beneath the player and above, so building vertically no longer requires extra steps. The mod is client-side only, and Fabric API is required to run it. Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are optional and add configuration screens. Files cover 1.18 – 26.3, and the mod is under a custom license that is not open source.
Key features
Downward and upward placement
Blocks can be placed below and above the player, extending the basic bedrock placement behavior.
Smart slab placement
When bridging to upper slabs with more slabs, placement continues as upper slabs instead of switching to bottom ones.
Configurable indicators
Three indicator styles, Default, a second style and Custom, can be chosen, with Mod Menu support for changing them.
