No Nerdpoling
Removes placement of blocks while in the air
About this Mod
What does it do?
No Nerdpoling prevents players from placing blocks while standing in mid-air. The common technique of jumping and placing blocks beneath yourself to build a vertical pillar is no longer possible.
Why?
Nerdpoling trivializes terrain, exploration, and building challenges by allowing players to instantly create vertical structures with minimal effort. By removing this ability, construction becomes more deliberate and environmental obstacles become more meaningful.
Acknowledgment:
This mod ports features from the original Better Than Wolves, created by FlowerChild and currently maintained by the CE Team. Learn more about the original mod here.
