Still Behind You
by bulletpies
Still Behind You makes placed workstations and other blocks trail the player through the world once they are out of sight.
What it does
Only blocks placed by the player are tracked. Workstations such as tables for crafting, furnaces, chests and enchanting setups can turn into mobile pieces, while naturally generated blocks stay where they were broken or left. Each relocated piece keeps its inventory and stored data, so a lit furnace stays lit and keeps its smelting progress, and fuel items keep their names. Double chests move together as one piece.
When a relocated piece is out of sight for long enough, it takes a step toward its owner and eventually settles into a fan-shaped arrangement behind the player. Pieces remain still while anyone is looking at them, and they cross dimensions, including the Nether, to keep pace with their owner. Right-clicking a piece with a permanent anchor block fixes it in place.
The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and it is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source. Fabric, Forge and NeoForge builds all carry the 0.1.1 alpha release from 2026-08-07.

What the author says
Every workstation you place follows you whenever nobody is looking. Put down a crafting table, walk away, and turn around later. It may be several blocks closer than where you left it. You will never see it move. Neither will anyone else.
