About this Mod
Lazy Placing
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

Lazy Placing server crashes on startup – what to do?

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. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
