Scrabble
by Lem1_yx
Scrabble is a Fabric client mod that alternates blocks during construction, using a randomizer for the hotbar slots while a player builds.
What it does
Scrabble automatically switches the hotbar slot after each block is placed, so a build can mix several block types without manual swapping. A timed placement option can change the active slot instantly, and a built-in setting keeps the same block from being placed two or three times in a row. Settings are opened from an in-game screen, bound to the O key by default, so the randomizer can be adjusted without leaving the game.
The randomizer lets a player enable or disable specific hotbar slots, set an exact percentage chance for each block with the arrow keys, and balance all active slots to a total of 100 percent with one button. Textures stay smooth while the mod runs, and the interface is translated into English and Russian, with the language switchable in game. Scrabble is client-side only, so players install it alone and servers do not need it. It requires Fabric API, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Files are published for Fabric across 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest build.
