2 weeks ago I made a full example video with all the main bridging methods in a previous feature request. I think there should be more work towards achieving this because full bedrock bridging in java would be pretty cool.
I don't have much experience with modding on Java Edition, and I haven't seen a mod with this feature yet. Bedrockify does have Bedrock's reacharound bridging, but there are other aspects of building from Bedrock that would be really nice to see in this mod, and make it more faithful to Bedrock Edition.
For example, blocks placed or broken on Bedrock will follow the player's direction if they are moving, which lets you easily place blocks in straight lines while moving fast, even when you don't have access to the face of the block you want to place upon. It also bypasses the delay that's usually present between breaking/placing each block while holding a mouse button. This is really helpful in creative mode, but its most important application is for speedbridging. This is how players will easily and quickly speedbridge on Bedrock servers while holding the place button and sprint-jumping.
