Tool that places a random block from your hotbar

Add a tool that would place a random block from your hotbar, this would allow for building using random blocks much easier as you wouldn't have to scroll very quickly to get a random block or attempt to randomly place blocks yourself without a block randomizer of any kind.

As for the tool itself, I was thinking that it would be able to be made out of wood, gold, stone, iron, diamond, or netherite, and the durability would be equal to the other tools of that tier and the durability would decrease by 1 for every block placed (but it would not break blocks faster, etc, similar to hoes before 1.16). The crafting recipe could be planks, gold ingot, cobblestone, iron ingot, or diamond on top of a stick (which would mean it would be craftable in the 2x2 inventory crafting grid). It would also be upgradable with netherite in a smithing table. You could enchant it with unbreaking, mending, and curse of vanishing.

    I think this should be a creative only item like barriers

    Instead of this, I think you should be able to open it up by right-clicking (for bedrock tap and hold for a second like you are breaking something) and it would open 5 different slots. If you put the blocks you want to randomize. Then from there you just act like you are placing a block with it in your hand and it would randomly place a block of the blocks in your wand. (I am just calling it a wand because it would probably be called the wand of randomization. This is what I think this should be like.

    JacobLime728 the problem with that is that it could possibly be abused to act like shulker boxes in which they could hold blocks while in your inventory

    instead of having the new tool work like a hopper, make it so the tool can "remember" a number of blocks (3 to 5) by "mining" an already existing block; something like a debug stick can handle blocks
