Construction Wand Wiki

Construction Wand is a building-helper mod built around one idea: place many blocks at once instead of one at a time. Instead of clicking block by block to lay a floor, raise a wall, or extend a path, you hold a wand, point at an existing block, and right-click to place a whole line of matching blocks in a single action.

The wand always builds from blocks you already have - it takes them straight out of your inventory or off-hand and places copies of them, so it fits normal survival play rather than replacing it. It does not add fancy materials or machines; it simply speeds up the slow, repetitive part of building.

There are several wand tiers that place more and more blocks per click, plus a small options menu and upgrade cores that change exactly how the wand builds. Together they turn large jobs - long roads, tall towers, big floors, walled-off areas - into fast, clean, one-click builds.

The mod adds several wands. They all work the same way; the difference is how many blocks each one can place in a single click and how much it costs to craft. Higher tiers reach farther, so you pick the wand that matches the size of the job.

• Stone Wand - the entry-level wand. Places a short run of blocks per click, ideal for small jobs like a few floor tiles, a short wall, or tidying up a build.
• Iron Wand - a mid-tier wand that reaches noticeably farther than the Stone Wand, good for medium walls, longer paths, and room floors.
• Diamond Wand - a high-tier wand that places a long line of up to around a hundred and twenty-eight blocks at once, made for big builds like long roads, large walls, and tall structures.
• Infinity Wand - the top wand, able to place enormous runs of up to roughly two thousand blocks in a single click. It is meant for massive and creative-scale building where you want a whole surface filled instantly.

Each wand (except the very top tier) works in survival by using the blocks it places and taking durability damage, so building big still costs materials just like building by hand - it only saves you the clicking.

The wand extends blocks out from the surface you are looking at, so the shape you get depends on which face you target and which way you point.

Basic use:

1. Put the block you want to build with in your inventory or off-hand (the wand copies whatever matching block you are pointing at, using your supply).
2. Hold the wand and aim your crosshair at the face of an existing block.
3. Right-click. The wand instantly fills a straight line of matching blocks extending from that face.

Getting each shape:

• Rows / paths - aim at the top of a flat surface and look along the ground; the wand runs a line of blocks forward, laying a path or a floor strip in one click.
• Floors - fill a surface strip by strip, or sweep across an area, to tile a whole room or plaza quickly.
• Walls - aim at the side (vertical face) of a block and the wand extends the line sideways or upward, raising a wall in a single action.
• Columns / towers - look up at the top face of a block and the wand stacks blocks straight up, building a tall pillar or tower instantly.

The direction and how the line follows your aim can be tuned in the wand-options menu (next section), so you can force the build to follow the block face or the way you are facing.

Every wand can be fine-tuned. Right-click the wand while pointing at empty air to open its options screen (the title shows which wand you are holding, e.g. "[Diamond Wand]"). The menu has several toggles:

• Direction - chooses how the build line is aimed: follow the target (the face of the block you point at) or the direction you are facing. This controls whether you build flat, sideways, or straight up.
• Matching - decides which blocks the wand will extend: Exact (only blocks identical to the one you target), Similar (closely related blocks), or Any (build across different blocks). Use this to keep a run on one material or let it cross several.
• Replacement - when set to Yes, new blocks can overwrite blocks that are already there; when No, the wand only fills empty space.
• Restriction - limits where the wand is allowed to place, helping you avoid building into areas you want left alone.
• Random - when on, the wand mixes the different blocks in your hand as it builds, giving a varied, textured surface instead of a single flat colour.
• Construction Core - a slot for an upgrade core that changes what the wand can do (see the next section).

Adjust these before a big build so the wand lays blocks exactly the way you want.

The Construction Core slot in the wand-options menu holds an upgrade that adds a special ability to the wand. Slot a core in and the wand gains its power; remove it to go back to normal building.

• Angel Core - the most popular upgrade. It lets the wand place blocks floating in mid-air, with no supporting block underneath. This makes it easy to build bridges, sky platforms, floating floors, and ceilings without scaffolding - just aim into open space and the wand fills it.
• Destruction / removal cores - some cores flip the wand into a removal tool, letting you take out whole rows or areas of blocks in one click, the reverse of placing them, for fast demolition and cleanup.

Cores are optional: the base wands already place rows, walls, and floors on their own, and cores simply extend what they can reach or do.

The wands are crafted at a normal crafting table from common materials, with each tier using a sturdier core ingredient (stone, iron, diamond) so that better wands cost a little more.

Getting started:

1. Craft a Stone Wand first to learn how the wand behaves on small builds.
2. Fill your inventory or off-hand with the block you want to build with.
3. Aim at an existing block face and right-click to place a row - try the top, side, and upward faces to see rows, walls, and columns.
4. Right-click in the air to open the options menu and set Direction, Matching, and Replacement to suit your build.
5. As your projects get bigger, craft the Iron, Diamond, and Infinity wands for longer reach, and add a Construction Core such as the Angel core for floating builds.

To see the exact recipe for any wand or core, open your recipe book, or use a recipe-viewer mod such as JEI/EMI if you have one installed.

• Match the wand to the job. Use the Stone or Iron wand for small tidy-ups and the Diamond or Infinity wand for long roads, big walls, and tall towers so you are not over- or under-building.
• Set Matching to Exact for clean runs. When you want a line to stay on one material, set Matching to Exact so the wand does not spill onto neighbouring blocks.
• Turn on Random for texture. Load a few similar blocks and enable Random to lay a naturally varied surface - great for stone paths, rustic walls, and terrain.
• Use the Angel core for bridges and platforms. With the Angel core you can build straight out over gaps and into the air, no scaffolding needed.
• Build columns by looking up. Aim at the top face of a block and point upward to raise a pillar or tower in one click.
• Undo mistakes. If a run comes out wrong, the wand can reverse its last placement, so you do not have to break each block by hand.
• Watch your supply and durability. In survival the wand uses the blocks it places and takes wear, so keep enough materials on hand for big builds.

What does Construction Wand do? It adds building wands that place a whole row, wall, or floor of matching blocks in a single right-click, using blocks from your inventory.

How do I place a wall or a floor? Aim at the face of an existing block and right-click: aim along the ground for floors and paths, at a side face for walls, and at a top face while looking up for columns.

Why did nothing get placed? Make sure you are holding a stack of the block you want to build with and that you are pointing at a valid block face; also check the wand's Matching and Restriction settings in the options menu.

How do I change how the wand builds? Right-click the wand in empty air to open the options menu, then adjust Direction, Matching, Replacement, Restriction, and Random.

What is the difference between the wand tiers? Higher tiers place more blocks per click - Stone is shortest, then Iron, then Diamond (up to about a hundred and twenty-eight), and Infinity reaches into the thousands.

How do I build floating blocks in the air? Put an Angel core into the Construction Core slot in the options menu; the wand can then place blocks with no support beneath them.

Can I undo a build? Yes - the wand can reverse its most recent placement in one step.

Does it work in survival? Yes. The wands take the blocks they place from your inventory and lose durability, so building big still costs materials, just far fewer clicks.

Does it need any other mods to work? No. Construction Wand works on its own and does not require any additional libraries or mods.
