Place block without player being inside block?

Is there a way to place a block (Level->setBlock()) without causing the player being inside the block?

 

Huh? What exactly do you mean?

 

When Level->setBlock() is called, a block will be placed/replaced. If a block is placed/replaced where a player is located, the player will be inside the block. How to prevent the player from being inside the block when calling Level->setBlock()?

 

You can make the player jump in top of the block using

PHP:

$player->jump();

Edit:
Or teleport the player in top of the block

 

Uh...just have a check if player is in that place you want to setBlock() at?
Or just simply do what erik said..

 

I would suggest minijaham idea, it’s better to check rather than make the player jump while it’s not on the block position.
