A collection of purely functional tweaks for Minecraft 1.8.9
Torch Drop
If a Player is sneaking while dropping a torch (either normal or redstone) it will place itself upon hitting the ground
Shift
Using the defined hotkey, the Player can offset the placement of any blocks in one of the six directions. If the hotkey is pressed while sneaking, it will toggle between offsetting the position based on the target block's position, or the position based on the target side
Passthrough Signs
Simple tweak where if a Player right-clicks a wall sign, it will activate the block the sign is placed on
