Features
Hold to place — Configured blocks cannot be placed instantly; you must hold right-click (main hand) until the bar fills.
Progress bar — A grey bar under the crosshair shows placement progress.
Look-away cancel — Turn your crosshair off the target block face and placement is cancelled (even if you keep holding right-click).
Building sounds — Scaffolding-style hit sounds while holding and a place sound when the block is set.
Server-friendly — On dedicated servers, the server config is authoritative and is synced to clients when they join.
