SafeWalk
SafeWalk is a client-side Minecraft mod that places supporting blocks ahead of the player during bridging, with a configurable forward distance of 1 to 3 blocks.
What it does
Automatic block placement works while the player moves across gaps. The mod manages the Sneak key near block edges, so a held physical Sneak key is respected and keys do not get stuck. An optional setting can disable automatic jumping and falling while bridging, and a client-side NoDelay mode removes the block-use delay so consecutive placements come faster.
Installation needs a client-side setup, and Fabric builds also require Fabric API. Forge and NeoForge builds require additional runtime dependencies. The mod runs on the client only, so a server does not need it. Builds cover Minecraft 1.8.9 – 1.21.11 across Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the code is under the MIT License without being open source.
Key features
Automatic block placement
Supporting blocks are placed ahead of the player as they move, which assists with bridging over gaps.
Configurable placement range
The forward distance is set to 1, 2 or 3 blocks, so the player can match the placement to their route.
Sneak key handling
The mod detects the physically held Sneak key, so keys do not stick and manual control stays with the player.
Persistent JSON settings
Options are saved in a JSON configuration, and legacy safewalk.cfg settings can be imported automatically.
