Patchwork
A Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 that lets you place random blocks from your inventory with a hotkey or right-click.
Features
- Right-click with the trowel to place a random block from your current mode's inventory
- R (configurable), same as right-click, bound to whichever mode is active
Shift+Right Click switches between two modes:
- Hotbar mode: picks blocks from your 9 hotbar slots
- Inventory mode: picks blocks from your entire inventory (36 slots)
- Only placeable blocks are selected (no tools, armor, food, etc.)
- The enchantment glint appears on the trowel when in Inventory mode, as a visual indicator
- The glint can be disabled in the config if you prefer plain looks
- Your original hotbar selection is always restored after placing
