📋 About This Mod
**Build Assist Wands** is a small Minecraft mod that adds three types of building-assist wands. When you place a block while holding a wand in your offhand, the wand automatically searches for a placement position based on its type. This makes it easy to build pillars, walls, floors, bridges, and stairs, making building and exploration more convenient. # **✨Wands** Each wand has material tiers similar to vanilla Minecraft tools. Wooden Stone Iron Golden Diamond Netherite Netherite wands cannot be crafted directly in a crafting table. To obtain a Netherite wand, upgrade the corresponding Diamond wand using a Smithing Table. Higher-tier wands have a larger maximum block placement range. ## Wall Wand !(https://i.imgur.com/nQi9L8q.gif) Searches upward and places a block at the first available space.
