SimpleSwap

by PoeticRainbow

SimpleSwap lets players replace a broken block in their hand or offhand with the same block type, by holding a key while breaking it.

What it does

Holding the Simple Swap key default and breaking a block places a block from the hand or offhand in its spot, with Left Alt as the default key. The swap happens automatically, so players who keep switching blocks while building can skip the manual placement. The mod requires Fabric API and runs on the client alone, so servers can run without it while players install it for themselves. Its source code is open under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and Fabric files cover 1.20.1 – 26.3 with 1.0+26.3 as the latest file from 2026-09-15.

Key features

  1. Break and replace

    Breaking a block while holding the Simple Swap key places the block held in the hand or offhand in its place.

  2. Automatic placement

    The held block is placed without a separate right-click, which speeds up swapping blocks during construction.

  3. Configurable key

    The Simple Swap key defaults to Left Alt and can be changed to suit the player's controls.

Questions

Does SimpleSwap need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is the required dependency, so it must be installed next to SimpleSwap on Fabric.

Do servers need SimpleSwap installed?

No. The mod is client-side only, so players install it and servers run without it.
