Rotation Locker
by Beefox
Rotation Locker keeps a block's rotation fixed while a player places it, for Fabric builds on 1.19 and 1.19.1.
What it does
When the player holds the lock key, a placed block keeps the rotation it had when the lock was applied, instead of turning to match the direction the player is looking. The lock key is bound by default, and pressing it again returns placement to the regular behavior. Holding sneak while pressing the lock key flips the locked rotation, and the sneak key is part of the control scheme. Rotation Locker is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.19 and 1.19.1, under The Unlicense, and the code is open source.
Key features
Locked placement
Holding the lock key keeps a rotatable block facing the direction it was set to, rather than the player's view.
Flip while locked
Holding sneak and pressing the lock key flips the locked rotation without ending the lock.
Toggle back
Pressing the lock key again ends the lock and restores the regular placement behavior.
