About this Mod
Place on Path (PoP)
Tired of your dirt/grass paths turning back into plain dirt the moment you place a fence, lantern or flower on them? Place on Path fixes exactly that.
Place any block on a path and the path stays - it's swapped for a seamless full‑height version, so there's no ugly gap to the block on top. Remove the block and it turns back into a normal path.
Features
- Place any block on dirt/grass paths without them turning to dirt
- No gap - the path becomes full‑height under the block and reverts when the block is removed
- Place plants, flowers, saplings and doors on paths too
- In‑game config screen (Mods menu): every block is green (keeps the path) by default - click a block to turn it red, and that block will turn the path to dirt instead. Toggle whole categories or single blocks, with a search bar.
- Lightweight and server‑friendly
