Preview, adjust, and place things how you want, where you want.
Build Better lets you focus on how you want to build things, not fiddling with minecrafts default build UI. Client Side, Build Better gives you more control over block placement and let's you see where and how blocks will be placed before you place them. Preview, adjust orientation, and nudge position precisely with free placement mode.
Inspired by:
Press B to cycle between modes, or hold B to open a selection screen.
Ctrl+Scroll cycles through valid property values for the block you're holding — stair facing, slab half, log axis, glazed terracotta direction, and more. The preview updates in real-time so you can see the result before placing.
For blocks with multiple properties, Ctrl+Shift+Scroll switches which property you're cycling. Only build related properties are shown.
Press H to lock the preview in place, then use arrow keys and Page Up/Page Down to nudge it in any direction. Movement is camera-relative — arrow keys move the preview relative to where you're looking.
Right-click to place at the held position. Works across all placement modes.
In creative mode, free placement has unlimited range using /setblock commands. In survival, placement is limited to your normal block interaction range.
This is an early beta release. The core preview and placement features are ready, but there's much more planned:
