Refined Block Placing
by ephys
Refined Block Placing changes how the cursor moves over new block positions while the right mouse button is held down, so lines of blocks can be placed quickly.
What it does
Vanilla Minecraft places a block only every few ticks while right-click is held, which slows down building long rows. This Forge mod shortens that delay so the cursor follows the new location and keeps placing blocks along a line. The author cites Better Placement, tterrag1098's PreciseBlockPlacing and Ellemes's work as inspiration. Only the client needs it, and the mod is for 1.20.1 only, released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and open source.
Key features
Faster line placement
Holding the right mouse button places blocks at a shorter interval than vanilla, making it quicker to build rows and walls.
Cursor follows new positions
The cursor moves to each new location as blocks are placed, so the target stays accurate along a line.
Shorter placement delay
The delay between placements is cut from the vanilla four-tick wait of about 0.2 seconds.
