Large builds become frustrating fast when you have to edge into position for every placement. Building Wands Mod focuses on that problem by letting you place blocks from a distance, making large-scale construction and hard-to-reach sections easier to handle with a set of dedicated wand modes.
Key Features
- Adds three wand tiers for different reach levels: Iron Wand for basic reach, Gold Wand for extended range, and Diamond Wand for maximum placement distance.
- Directional Mode places a single block in any of 9 directions relative to the targeted block.
- Row / Column Mode places multiple blocks in a straight line, with
Xused to switch between row and column orientation. - Fill Mode works between two selected corners and supports either a single block type or random blocks.
- Area Mode fills all connected blocks starting from the targeted block.
