Minecraft Command setblock relative to where player is looking

Minecraft Command setblock relative to where player is looking - Cheerful elderly man and adult woman cuddling on white background and looking at camera

Is it possible to place a block in front of the player or entity? For example, if I'm facing north, put the block towards the north. East, put the block towards the east, etc.

Thanks in advance.

If this is a duplicate, feel free to say that. I will not be offended.



Best Answer

You can use the caret notation to select positions in front of the player:

/setblock ^X ^Y ^Z minecraft:your_block

where:
X = offset left of player's feet
Y = offset above player's feet
Z = offset in front of player's feet

How do you know where the player is looking in Minecraft?

To fill an area relative to the player, put the following code into a command block or your chat: /execute @<p,a,r,e> <x> <y> <z> /fill <x1> <y1> <z1> <x2> <y2> <z2> <block> 0 replace <blocktoreplace> . The p, a, r, and e are the selectors.
