              [](https://khazoda.com)[](https://poeditor.com/join/project/0OAhc1DnLs)[](https://www.khazoda.com/breakerplacer) [](https://github.com/khazoda-mods/breakerplacer)[](https://github.com/khazoda/breakerplacer-legacy) # About **Block Breaker & Block Placer adds two compact redstone utility blocks for turning placed blocks into items, and items back into placed blocks.** - Build compact farms, entrances and redstone machines - Keeps survival balance by respecting harvestability rules Similarly to vanilla's Dispenser and Dropper, the Breaker and Placer are activated with a redstone pulse. - The Breaker breaks the block in front of it and places it in its inventory. - The Placer places a random block from its inventory in the spot in front of it. ## Why use this mod? If you've ever wished that you could turn items into placed blocks, or vise-versa, this mod is for you. Here are just some of the many applications: - Automated cobblestone generators - Secret entrances without using pistons - New redstone contraptions (redstone torch inside a Placer?) - Automatic cocoa bean farm # Recipes The recipes for both blocks follow similar patterns to the dropper and dispenser:   # Demonstration # Balance Considerations During development it was clear that Breakers would circumvent survival Minecraft's balancing considerably (e.g. breaking obsidian before the player has a diamond pickaxe). For this reason, the breaker block respects a block's harvestability settings. This means that the Breaker will only break the block in front of it if it has the correct tool. A simple set of examples: - Breaker has no tool - Can break dirt, logs, fletching table but not stone - Breaker has wooden pickaxe - Can break stone, coal ore but not iron ore - Breaker has shears - Can break leaves, tall grass, peonies but not stone # Frequently Asked Questions **Is there a (fabric/forge/neoforge/risugami's modloader) version?** Block Breaker & Block Placer exists on both Fabric and NeoForge. If you're running Quilt, use the Fabric jar. **Can you backport the mod to Minecraft 1.X.X?** This mod will not be backported. It will however support new [major versions](https://www.khazoda.com/versions) of Minecraft. **I found a bug / my game crashed** If you find any problems with Block Breaker & Block Placer, please feel encouraged to create an issue on the GitHub repository issue tracker. Bug reports are incredibly useful and help this mod reach its full potential.
