About this Mod

Lazy Placing

Github

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.

Preview

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

Dependencies

This mod requires:

Fabric

(Version resolution from Fabric Documentation)

Forge

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.

Properties:

  • stablePlacingDuration - default value is 12 ticks (0.6 seconds). The minimum time needed to place a block
  • maxRandomAdditionDuration - default value is 0 ticks (0 seconds). The maximum clamp for random time, which may to the stablePlacingDuration

Frequently Asked Questions

Lazy Placing server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.4). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Lazy Placing compatible with fabric and forge?

Lazy Placing officially supports fabric, forge for Minecraft 1.20.4, 1.20.3, 1.20.2. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Lazy Placing – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Lazy Placing consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
