Tired of contorting your camera just to make a piston face the right way? Piston Angle lets you lock piston placement to any direction — down, up, north, south, east, west — no matter where you're actually looking.
Features
- 🎯 Force piston facing — pick a direction and every piston you place points that way. Covers regular and sticky pistons.
- ⚙️ Config screen — set the direction through Mod Menu, or leave it on Auto for 100% vanilla behavior.
- ⌨️ Quick-cycle keybind — press V (rebindable) to cycle directions on the fly. The current direction flashes on your actionbar, so you never open a menu mid-build.
- 🌐 Works on servers — placement direction is applied in a server-friendly way, so pistons keep their forced facing on multiplayer servers without the mod installed, and it plays nice with anticheats.
- 💾 Setting persists across sessions (
config/pistonmod.json).
How to use
- Drop the jar in your
modsfolder (Fabric API required, Mod Menu optional). - Press V in-game to cycle: Auto → Down → Up → North → South → West → East.
- Place pistons. That's it.
