 This function returns a `Promise`, with `void` as its argument when the server confirms that the block has indeed been placed.
 
  * `referenceBlock` - the block you want to place a new block next to
  * `faceVector` - one of the six cardinal directions, such as `new Vec3(0, 1, 0)` for the top face,
    indicating which face of the `referenceBlock` to place the block against.
+### placeBlock(referenceBlock, faceVector, optionsPlace)
 
-The new block will be placed at `referenceBlock.position.plus(faceVector)`.
+This function is used to place a block in the Minecraft world.
+
+- `referenceBlock` (object): The reference block where the new block will be placed adjacent to.
+- `faceVector` (object): The vector representing the face of the reference block where the new block will be placed.
+- `optionsPlace` (object): An optional object containing additional options for placing the block.
+  - `swingArm` (string): The arm to swing while placing the block. Defaults to 'right' if not provided.
+  - `timeOut` (number): The timeout duration in milliseconds for placing the block. Defaults to 5000 milliseconds if not provided.
