How to Craft Every Wand in Not Enough Wands

Start With Wand Cores

Every wand in the mod is built from a Wand Core. Craft a Wand Core first, then upgrade it into an Advanced Wand Core when a wand recipe calls for the stronger version. Both cores are made through shaped crafting recipes, so lay the ingredients out in the crafting grid in the exact pattern the recipe shows.

The eleven registered items are: Acceleration Wand, Advanced Wand Core, Building Wand, Capturing Wand, Displacement Wand, Illumination Wand, Moving Wand, Protection Wand, Swapping Wand, Teleportation Wand, and Wand Core. Each wand is produced by its own shaped crafting recipe, and most of them consume a Wand Core or an Advanced Wand Core as the central ingredient.

Match the Core to the Wand

Check whether the wand you want uses a plain Wand Core or an Advanced Wand Core before you start gathering materials. If the recipe shows the advanced core, craft that first from a Wand Core plus the additional ingredients the recipe lists. Skipping this step means the shaped recipe will not complete.

Once you have the correct core, place it in the center of the crafting grid and arrange the remaining ingredients around it following the recipe pattern. The result is the finished wand, ready to be held and used. Because all eleven recipes are shaped, ingredient position matters — a correct set of items in the wrong slots produces nothing.
