What does it do?
No Nerdpoling prevents players from placing blocks while standing in mid-air. The common technique of jumping and placing blocks beneath yourself to build a vertical pillar is no longer possible.
Why?
Nerdpoling trivializes terrain, exploration, and building challenges by allowing players to instantly create vertical structures with minimal effort. By removing this ability, construction becomes more deliberate and environmental obstacles become more meaningful.
