    I have often placed pillars in a very bad place in my builds and there is no way to fix it, and I hear complaints about people making the same mistake all the time.

    I think that by default, pillars should only be able to be placed in the four corners of a foundation. In order to place in any of the 5 center positions, it would be as simple as right-clicking to enable placement.

    Most servers have mods that allow you to remove such pillars with the spawn pickaxe they provide.

    Try playing on those for the time being.

    I run my own Vanilla server and I love the vanilla playstyle, I just figured this feature could help everyone out, especially the newer players.

    I suppose so, or maybe even make it ask for a quick double click verification before you place a pillar down?

    Either way, I've played vanilla and I've felt the frustration. That's why I switched to modded servers.

    I don't think that there's any decent way to prevent bad placement, but it is quite annoying. Once, I was building my house and the last pillar I placed on my foundation was accidentally placed in the middle of the edge, making my house totally unusable.

    I don't think there can be a solution, especially since bad pillar placement is really our own fault.

    This is the key. The game is a survival sim , stop trying to build in the pitch black of night and start taking your time to do things properly and you wont waste as much time rebuilding later.
