Bridging Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I start placing blocks in mid-air with this mod?
Just look at an empty space in front of you, above you, or below you and use your place-block key like normal. A special crosshair appears to show exactly where the block will go, so you don't need to sneak or stand on an edge.
Why can't I place blocks in the air?
Make sure you're aiming at a valid empty position and that you actually have blocks in your hand. If placement delay is set too high in the config, it may feel like nothing is happening, so try lowering it.
How do I build a bridge across a gap without sneaking?
Walk toward the edge and keep placing blocks while looking at the empty space ahead of you. The mod places the block in front of your character, so you can extend the bridge as you move without crouching.
How do I place blocks above me to build a ceiling?
Look upward at the empty space above your head and use your place key. The crosshair indicator will show the target position so you can line up ceilings and overhangs accurately.
How do I place blocks below me to build down?
Aim at the empty space beneath you and place as usual. This lets you extend downward for pillars, floors, or descending into a hole without jumping or pillaring manually.
What is the special crosshair and can I turn it off?
The crosshair is an indicator that shows where your block will land in mid-air. You can disable it in the mod's config settings if you prefer a cleaner screen.
Does this mod work with slabs and stairs?
Yes, it handles partial blocks like slabs correctly, so placement lines up with the shape of the block. The outline box shown with the F3 menu open helps you confirm the exact position.
How do I change the placement delay?
Open the mod's config and adjust the placement delay setting to control how quickly blocks can be placed in succession. Lower values feel faster, higher values are more controlled.
Is it safe to use this mod on multiplayer servers?
It's generally not recommended on large public servers because mid-air placement can be seen as an unfair advantage and may violate server rules. Check with the server staff or use it only in singleplayer or on servers that allow it.
Does this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod is lightweight and mainly affects placement logic and a small visual indicator, so performance impact is minimal. If you notice issues, try turning off the crosshair or outline display in the config.
