A Minecraft Fabric & Forge mod which changes one of the main mechanics in game - block placement timing.
In vanilla Minecraft, any block will be placed instantly, but now you'll have to wait a bit before a block will be placed.

Info
By default, the time needed to place a block will be 0.6 seconds (see "configuration" section).
The mod
- works in singleplayer, LAN and dedicated server
- should be compatible with most of the other mods, it should work with all block-items, which do not have custom block placement mechanics
- affects only survival gamemode

Uninstallation
To uninstall the mod, remove it from the mods folder.
Configuration
When the game starts for the first time, the mod will generate a configuration file in config/lazyplacing.json (in root folder of Minecraft, not mods folder).
The file will have the following content:
{
"stablePlacingDuration": 12,
"maxRandomAdditionDuration": 0
}
You can create this file by hand if you want to change the default without starting the game.
If the configuration file was deleted, mod will generate a new one with default values.
