Description

Requires the library mod Collective.
This mod is part of The Vanilla Experience modpack and Serilum's Quality of Life Bundle mod.
Better Beacon Placement is a minimalistic configurable mod which allows player to easily place beacon bases by right-clicking the beacon with a mineral block. Sneak/crouch+right-clicking places the entire stack in hand. Breaking the beacon will also break all the base blocks and drop them at the beacon's location. Replaced blocks are dropped on top of the beacon.
Bedrock won't be replaced.

Configurable: ( how do I configure? )
breakBeaconBaseBlocks (default = true): If enabled, drops all beacon base blocks when the beacon itself is broken.

You can right-click a beacon with a mineral block in hand and it will place it in the next base position:

You can also sneak+right-click to place an entire stack of mineral blocks:
