Than, there are other mods which fix some game flaws and make the game feel better. Sometimes, the lime is blurry.

The Snap Points mod allows for placing any block's snap point onto any of another block's. That allows for building on sides you can't even see and is definitely not how the devs intended it. But without it, it can be very difficult or time consuming to make some placements that are right in front of you and that also is most definitely not how they intended it.

Building UI is made to be as simple as possible. This is to not overwhelm players who are not interested in the building aspect. But builders suffer because of this. And this is why I don't feel guilty at all despite playing with several mods.

I feel you... on my own savefiles i utilize mods quite a bit; there are a lot of small enough QOL fixes that i am sure are not on the dev's main to-do list; but friend is playing his way and i respect that on his server.

I'm not in any rush really. "Creative mode" through devcommands is nearly enough on its own mod free.... but as an early access game i do hope they are open to suggestion and hear our frustrations as to how these small improvements can help in the overall enjoayability and replayability..... if only really please for the love of god let us pick up our feet while swimming so we don't inevitably drown ourselves by poorly planned scaffolding (sad true story).

They are doing a decent job, no smoke just wanting to be heard i guess.
