PandaPlacer

This modification adds a special placement block to the game that can be crafted. Visually and by crafting recipe, it resembles a dispenser, but uses a piston instead of a bow in the recipe.

Key Features

This is a completely server-side solution that works without additional client mods. The block can maintain rotation placements and install items considering their orientation—for example, player heads or banners will be positioned according to how the placer itself is rotated.

Depending on the placement block's position, it can even install objects in upside-down configurations. The mod is compatible with other popular modifications PandaBlockNames and PandaHeads.
