Result
Fails if the arguments are not specified correctly or the specified slot was empty.
On success, returns if a block in the specified inventory slot was placed.
Note
This basically places a block (ex: Place Stone Block) or a placeable item (ex: Place Oak Fence) from the selected inventory slot in the specified direction.
However, this doesn’t interact with things like doors, levers, and containers.
Additionally, when player specifies a slot which contains the following non-place-able items, this behaves as follows:
- Place water/lava
- Bucket
- Till grass
- Make a path
- Spawn a mob
- Dye something
- Make a fire
- Placeable material
