AirPlace
AirPlace lets you place blocks, spawn eggs, armor stands, and firework rockets in mid-air, without needing an existing block or surface to click against. Normally Minecraft only allows placement when you're aiming at a solid face; with this module enabled, you can build outward into empty space wherever you're looking.
By default a translucent preview box shows exactly where the block will land before you commit, so you can line up your placement precisely. You can also turn on a fixed placement range so blocks always appear at a set distance from your eyes rather than wherever your crosshair happens to hit.
This is handy for free-floating builds, quick platforms, or reaching spots that would otherwise need scaffolding. If you want blocks to also go down into water and lava, enable PlaceInLiquid — note that this defers to LiquidPlace while that module is active to avoid conflicts.
