Description
⚠️ BETA NOTICE
This mod is currently in Beta.
The current release is Singleplayer Only.
We are actively working on making the system compatible with Multiplayer servers, but due to how Minecraft handles block placement and synchronization, additional work is required.
Until then, please treat this version as experimental.
Expect:
• Possible bugs
• Incomplete block compatibility
• Future improvements
Your feedback helps a lot!
🧱 What This Mod Does
Ever struggled to place an Observer, Piston, or Stair facing the exact direction you want?
Vanilla Minecraft often forces you to:
• Look in specific directions
• Build temporary scaffolding
• Place blocks multiple times just to get the correct orientation
Pre-Placement Block Rotation removes those restrictions.
Rotate and flip blocks before placing them, giving you full control over orientation — even when looking straight up, straight down, or from awkward angles.
No more dirt towers.
No more breaking and replacing blocks.
Just place it correctly the first time.
✨ Features
👻 Perfect Sync Ghost Preview
See exactly how the block will be placed before clicking.
A translucent preview shows the final rotation and orientation in real time so you know exactly what you're placing.
🔓 Breaks Vanilla Direction Locks
Minecraft normally locks certain blocks depending on where you're looking.
This mod bypasses those restrictions.
Example:
Look straight down → place an Observer facing North.
No scaffolding required.
🧱 Universal Block Support
Works with most directional blocks including:
• Observers
• Pistons
• Dispensers
• Logs & Pillars
• Stairs
• Slabs
• Chests
• Furnaces
• Many more vanilla blocks
⚡ Quick Toggle
Enable or disable the mod instantly whenever you need it.
No menus required.
