Pick Block Pro
Pick Block: Get the block/item of what you're looking at in creative or switch to that block/item in survival.
This mod is an advanced version of this and adds a lot of extra features (see below)
Important:
This mod replaces the default Pick Block, however the ID and Tool picker use their own keybindings.

Detailed explanation
Block Picking with item-containers (shulkers / bundles)
When picking a block in survival the mod will first search through all the items in your inventory. If it can't find the item, it'll search containers like shulkers and bundles that are inside the inventory. If found, the mod will move the container with the highest amount of that item to the player's main hand. This should work with all item-containers that work in the same way as the shulker or bundle do.
Hold ALT for block state copying:
You might already know it's possible to hold CTRL while block picking to copy block-entity data, such as player skulls and banners with patterns. This mod allows on top of that to also copy block-state data when holding ALT, this includes for example if a campfire/candle is lit or not and also the rotation of blocks like stairs. (There are many more things you can copy with this, see wiki link for the full list)
This feature was inspired by the Pick-BlockState mod by Minenash.
Hold CTRL for entity data copying:
Just like how you can pick block-entity data, now you can also pick entity data. This will for example copy most data of the mob and put it inside the spawn egg as NBT data. This will also work for things like armor stands, item frames (copying what's inside of them) and paintings (copying the exact variant of the painting). Some servers might not support (part of) this feature though.
Extended pick block range:
By default Minecraft only allows to pick blocks that are within reaching distance. This mod however allows to pick blocks at a distance of 100 blocks away and this can even be set way higher (or lower) if so desired. No need anymore to fly all the way over to a block you'd like to pick.
Lock inventory slots:
By default Minecraft will first fill in all empty slots in the hotbar when using pick block, however once the hotbar is completely full it'll replace the item in your current selected slot. This item might actually be something you'd prefer to keep. This mod lets you lock any slots you'd like in the config settings. When locked, this mod will still place an item inside that slot if it's empty. However once an item/block is located in a locked slot, this mod will skip that slot (keeping the item/block safe) and use the next available slot instead.
Tool Picking:
When using the Tool Picker this mod will provide you with the best tool for the job. In creative you'll get a fully enchanted tool (configurable), but in survival it'll go through your inventory and search for the best tool instead. If it's able to find a suitable tool it'll switch it to your current selected slot.
Hotbar block/item ID copy
Copy the ID's of blocks/items from your hotbar directly in the chat when it's open. Making it a lot easier and faster to create WE commands. Especially great for making brushes with a lot of different blocks. Hold CTRL + 0 through 9 while your chat is open, 0 is for the off hand slot.
Pick ID's:
Ever wrote a WE command using block ID's with a lot of properties? This mod will make that a lot easier by allowing you to pick the ID including properties of the block you're looking at directly into your clipboard. Once picked you can then paste this ID when writing out your command.
Creative inventory management:
By default, when in creative, minecraft will only check your hotbar for items when block picking, if it can't find it it'll just give you a new block/item. This mod actually checks your full inventory and also updates the server about any changes made. Making it easier to manage your inventory when in creative.
