Welcome to Nostalgic Placement!
This mod will change the placement rules of certain blocks to match that of version Beta 1.7.3
Features:
Chests- You can't place chests next to a double chests.
Logs- Logs can't be placed horizontally anymore.
Stairs- No more upside down stairs, all stairs will be converted to normal. No corner stairs.
Slabs- Slabs can only be placed on the bottom half of blocks. No combining them into full blocks.
Trapdoors- Trapdoors can only be placed on walls. If the surface it was placed on is broken, then the trapdoor breaks too. This means trapdoors don't float aswell.
Beds- Beds can only be placed if there is a block under each half of the placed bed.
Signs- You cannot right click signs to edit them.
Levers- Levers can only be placed on the sides of blocks.
Torches- Torches cannot be placed on glass of any kind.
Fences/Walls: They need to have a block underneath them in order to be placed. They also have different collision.
All features can be disabled independently, for allowing full customisation.
