Slabs and Stairs placement fix for Minecraft 1.2.5
With the 1.2.3 Minecraft release came the great ability to place inverted slabs or stairs.
Unfortunately, the placement of these blocks requires a top block under which you must click, which makes things rather complicated sometimes (especially if you want to do the following).
So I changed the behavior to place these blocks to something more "natural".
Here is a spotlight made by inawordnope for this mod :
Placement rules for these blocks are :
when you click on a block side face to place a stair or a slab, if you clicked at the lower half face, you'll have a normal slab or stair, and if you click at the upper half face, you'll have an inverted slab or stair.
when you click on a top face of a block, you'll have a normal slab or stair.
when you click on a bottom face of a block, you'll have an inverted slab or stair.
if you press CTRL key while clicking, you'll have the invert of what is normally awaited. (should work for MAC users, not tested )
This fix works on single player mode, and in multi if you're using the vanilla server.
A separate plugin is needed for it to work correctly on a Bukkit server. This plugin has been successfully tested on Bukkit versions #2060 (1.2.3 beta) and #2117 (1.2.4 dev) :
If you use this mod on a bukkit server without this plugin, you'll experience a behavior that will prevent you from placing blocks if you click on a side upper half face of another block (but works the lower half)..
Thanks for this, I love mods that are automaticaly useful. Now if only we could get a fix for the torch and redstone placement on upside down blocks we would have a fully working Minecraft again.
I just Tweeted a link to this to Dinnerbone so that maybe he can talk to you about putting it in the game because it really should be in vanilla Minecraft.

I'm pushing it because it's new, and nobody knows about it - else it would stay on 22th page ! ^^ Where is the problem ?
I also wanted to extend the torch placement to stairs and JackOLantern to everything, but it would require a server patch to work on multi.
Well, it breaks forum etiquette to push posts meaninglessly. Once when I was new to forums I didn't know that either, so it's OK, as long as you learn now.
Don't push posts unless you actually say something meaningful in the posts. This is a great mod but leave the pushing to other users who will do it when they tell you what they think of this mod. I'm doing what I can to spread the word about this mod. It would help if you would make a banner for this mod for people to put into their signature to link to this thread, that's what many popular mods do.

To my experience, this board misses a feature that would automatically highlight new topics. It was the same for Camera Studio : I had to push it a few times to make it known a little. With the time now, I think I should have put intentional bugs in it, so that people talk about it ^^
Or you can just trust people to sort by post title... I don't understand how anyone finds anything on this board sorting by the last post. That [1.2.3] is at the front of the titles for a reason...
I didn't download this for a few reasons. You didn't mention whether it needs/is compatible with modloader, and the pointless bumping. Show a little blasted courtesy. Imagine if all mod authors did that. The first 20 pages would be threads filled with the word bump. Not exactly helpful or convenient to the board users.

About the control key- When I map something to the left Command button (mac equivalent of control) minecraft recognizes it as the left windows key. Hope that helps. PM me if you have further questions.

Thanks a lot for the tip
This mod should work completely with mac users then

Never trust people for that ! After 3 months on the board, I didn't know myself how to sort topics, so I used google to find my favorite mods homepage ^^
There is so many talk in other topics that one doesn't stay visible more than 15 minutes when there are a lot people browsing the forum (30 minutes for the quiet moments).
Pointless to say that if anybody would do that, bla bla bla : in the real facts, people do this sometimes, and it doesn't ruin the visibility.
As for respect and courtesy, I always have, and honestly don't see where it lacks : I'm giving a new mod to everybody, and I give a chance to anybody to discover it. I would rather say that I'm a good guy
