A rotation tool is required because this issue also about game play quality. People spend a lot of time trying to place blocks in the right direction and in many cases you cannot easily get to the spot needed to place a block the way you want. So a tool allows movement from any place and improves game play.
I created another thread in the “suggestions” area so that people could vote on the block faces they focus on as well as continue discussions. I am unable to move these posts there so we have a comprehensive thread. I’d suggest people move to that thread so its in the appropriate area for game improvements.
Maybe a dev can move relevant posts there…
