Basic Usage

To use a staff, hold it in your main hand and right-click on the face of a block. The staff will attempt to place identical blocks from your inventory in a grid pattern extending from that face.

  • Placement Rules: The staff will only place blocks if there is air or a replaceable block (like tall grass) in the target area. It will not overwrite existing solid blocks.
  • Block Sourcing: The mod checks your main inventory first, then your offhand. If you are holding a specific block in your offhand, the staff will use that block as a "palette," allowing you to place a different block type than the one you clicked on.

Placement Radius

The "Radius" stat determines the size of the square area the staff can fill:

  • Radius 1: Places a 3x3 grid (up to 9 blocks)
  • Radius 3: Places a 7x7 grid (up to 49 blocks)
  • Radius 5: Places an 11x11 grid (up to 121 blocks)

Undo Function

If you make a mistake or misplace a large section of blocks, you can quickly undo the action. While holding the staff used for the placement, press Ctrl + Z (or Cmd + Z on macOS). This will remove the placed blocks and return them to your inventory, though durability consumed during the initial placement is typically not refunded.
