Construction Wand — Guide

Wand Tiers

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.

How to Build: Rows, Walls, Floors & Columns

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:

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).
Hold the wand and aim your crosshair at the face of an existing block.
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.

Tips

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.

Construction Cores & Upgrades

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.

Crafting & Getting Started

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:

Craft a Stone Wand first to learn how the wand behaves on small builds.
Fill your inventory or off-hand with the block you want to build with.
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.
Right-click in the air to open the options menu and set Direction, Matching, and Replacement to suit your build.
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.
