BedrockPlacing configuration

Six settings. Sensible defaults, nothing you have to touch.

The file

After the first launch with the mod installed, you will find config/bedrockplacing.json next to your other configs (in .minecraft/config for the default launcher, or the server's config folder). It looks like this:

{
  "enabled": true,
  "sneakDisables": true,
  "requireSupport": true,
  "reach": 4.5,
  "preview": true,
  "repeatTicks": 2
}

Settings

KeyDefaultWhat it does
enabled true Master switch. Set it to false and right-clicking the air behaves like vanilla again.
sneakDisables true Hold sneak to skip the assist and right-click the air normally (handy for items that do something on air-click).
requireSupport true The block under you must have a sturdy side face in the direction you face. Turn it off to also extend from slabs, fences, and other partial blocks.
reach 4.5 Maximum distance in blocks from your eyes to the target cell, from 2 to 6.
preview true Show the white outline on the cell the next click would fill. Client side.
repeatTicks 2 Client ticks between placements while you hold right-click, from 1 to 4. Vanilla uses 4; lower is faster.

Changing settings

You have four options, pick whichever is closest:

  1. Edit the file with the game (or server) closed, then start it. Simple and foolproof.
  2. Edit the file and reload live with /mycel reload bedrockplacing in game. No restart needed. See commands.
  3. Change it live with a command, e.g. /mycel set bedrockplacing repeatTicks 1 (needs operator permission; /mycel get bedrockplacing shows every value). No file editing needed.
  4. Use the config screen from the mod list (Forge and NeoForge). Same six settings, with reset buttons.

Broken file?

If the JSON gets mangled (bad edit, crash mid-save), the mod logs a warning and falls back to defaults rather than crashing. Delete the file and restart to get a fresh one.
