Use copper in a way to make a wrench to rotate blocks (such as terracotta)

With the new copper entering the game, it could be incorporated into a wrench or wand to cycle the orientation of placed blocks. This is needed for glazed terracotta and many redstone situations when you can't get a component placed facing the correct direction. This is a huge need in vanilla. Make it expensive and "endgame".

    You say Expensive - you should then craft it with 5 copper ingots and 1 netherite ingot

    why does it need to be expansive it just a block rotation that would be really helpful? 

    I think it needs to be crafted like that. 0=none 1=copper

    If this happens, it would be almost necessary to have a sticky piston-ish variant that rotates blocks when powered, or even groups of blocks when using slime or honey blocks (though the logistics may be difficult to figure out with somewhat circular motion and blocks in the way, I am sure it could be done.

    Yeah. It could also change things like stairs and their shape

    Idea: If a dispenser with a wrench in it shoots at a block, it will automatically rotate said block clockwise (looking down at the block)

    This is an underrated idea and I'm glad it's finally getting the attention it deserves after 5 years.

    I don’t think it should be expensive, maybe just crafted like this:

    c = copper
    x = nothing

    X C X
    X C C
    C X X

    I really like this idea. But I don't think it should be "expensive and endgame," or even a midgame item. I think you should be able to craft it in the early game.

    The only thing I disagree with is the "Expensive" Portion. It needs to be relatively cheap, as this isn't exactly groundbreaking in terms of building. probably just 5 Copper Ingots.

    I think it would be nicer for builds if the wrench also was able to disconnect fences, glass panes, iron and walls for an example. Imagine it for wall, it would make it almost the perfect vertical slab. Nobody likes it when the connective blocks do connect when they're no supposed to in a building and everybody would love a way to change that. Otherwise, the idea of SystemZee shown in this video is magnificent: https://youtu.be/8akoM1CjB1Y
