How to make an Item place a block?

I am not sure you can find that out... Do you write java or block as this might be a significant difference. What are you hoping to do once you can find out what side of the block you are clicking on?

me neither, just ask the creator

Hi, I have the same problem, i want to place a block by clicking on the floor (like redstone dust) but the block have to be placed only when I aim at the top side.

i think this would need a raycast

Maybe you could have it only place if the player is looking down? I mean it probably won't have the affect you guys want but it could work?

I think mcreator recently added a block face that is clicked feature...

I'll test that and give you answers

That was five months ago got a answer yet?

Managed to solve? I have the same problem!

to those who still stuck with this, try doing this. and do it 6 times total. change the "trigger direction/face" to all 6 different axis. and if it gets a bit buggy in game, remove the if statement "does entity exist" https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/890441186786041857/901711469912150026/Screenshot_2021-10-23_225918.png?width=560&height=676

Yes I tried and it actually works, I was stuck but now I solved thank u (a bit late I know)

I know this is an old topic, but to anyone still struggling with this and searching on the forums for answers, there's a purple | orange colored "... offset of direction | Trigger direction/face" block for all three coordinates that helps with this exact thing.

So instead of putting "X", you put "X + X offset of direction | Trigger direction/face", or "Y + Y offset of direction | Trigger direction/face" for Y.

I also recommend checking whether the block on that face is air, so players can't replace stairs or slabs by right clicking on the block behind them.
