/align command that aligns players for easier placement of NPCs, world spawns, warps, holograms

Feature description

/align command that aligns players to a block both in position and rotation.

Aligning to a block is hard to do by hand, and is a command I add to all core plugins I develop for my servers. The feature is simple: /align that aligns player to a middle of block and snaps to angles that are multipliers of 45 degrees (eg. 0, 45, 90, 135).

Also could have some arguments: /align edge, /align corner which instead of centering the block, centers the edge of a block, or the corner of 4 blocks.

How the feature is useful

As a server owner myself, I commonly have to place NPCs, set spawn or warp locations, place holograms which all require precise placement to either center, edge, or the corner of blocks. It's an easy to code but a nice to have utility that would integrate smoothly into everything else, and would work along with the plugin's utility-style.

The Vanilla teleport command can already do this. Use /minecraft:tp with the needed arguments.

Well then technically you can use /gamemode creative instead of /gmc, or you can use /time set day instead of /day. And these are simple to type even in full form while in order to use /minecraft:tp with needed arguments, you need to know which direction you wanna look at, what yaw and rotation values that direction should be, then manually type coordinates & rotation values individually for everything you want to place.
