Architectural Building Wand
by in2bubble
With the Architectural Building Wand, players define shapes, place groups of blocks and preview designs before anything is built, a construction tool for Minecraft survival.
What it does
Wands place groups of blocks in rectangles, cylinders and triangles once the player selects points. A planning mode previews the design with ghost blocks inside the zone, leaving the world untouched until the build is confirmed. Tools that consume durability or Mana power the wands, and the Arcane Totem lets a player fly while building. Fabric API is required on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge alike, and Just Enough Items (JEI) is optional: when present it shows crafting recipes for the wands and totems.
The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds cover 1.21 – 26.3, and the latest files are version 1.3 for 26.3, dated 2026-10-15. The code is covered by All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Drag and drop building
Players drag across the surface to set the corners of a rectangle, cylinder or triangle, and the wand fills the selected area.
Wand eraser
The eraser removes only blocks that were placed with the wand, so terrain and builds made by hand stay intact.
Arcane totem flight
The Arcane Totem lets the player fly while building, drawing on magic that can be refilled with Arcane Magic Bottles.
Enchantment support
Wands accept Unbreaking, Mending and Silk Touch, and the Silk Touch Arcane Wand and Redstone Wand have their own roles.
