Block Rotation Lock
Features
This mod lets you lock the placement axis for blocks with the axis property (Logs, Pillars, Deepslate, Basalt, etc.).
Press the lock key (default: H) to set the lock direction. (Targeted block face or view direction if no block is targeted)
While the lock is active, all axis-based blocks you place will be oriented along the locked axis.
This is achieved by modifying the BlockHitResult of your placement action. A server running cheat detection might notice that you're trying to place a block in a way you shouldn't be able to. Use this mod only on servers where you know it's allowed.
I only made this mod because I was using a lot of raw Deepslate for a build and didn't like the fact that it can be placed like logs.
