Overview

The Staff of Building mod is an essential tool for builders, architects, and survival players looking to streamline their construction process. It adds several tiers of staffs—ranging from Wooden to Netherite—that allow players to extend existing structures with a single click. By mimicking the block face the player is looking at, these staffs can fill in walls, floors, and ceilings instantly, provided the player has the necessary materials in their inventory.
