BetterBuildersWandsFix
by xinyihl
BetterBuildersWandsFix is a Forge fix for Better Builder's Wands, correcting bugs in its block placement and inventory handling and adding undo support.
What it does
The mod corrects several faults in Better Builder's Wands. Block placement no longer drops NBT data when blocks are placed or withdrawn, and the inventory check now finds items that carry missing tags. Compatibility with Custom Selection Box has also been repaired, so the two mods can be used together.
Beyond the fixes, it extends the wands with new actions: off-hand items can be placed, a break mode tied to crafting recipes is available, and an undo system lets players reverse recent operations, either with Ctrl+Z or by right-clicking the yellow highlight. Several operations can be undone in sequence.
The mod is open source under the MIT License and requires the environment of Client and server, so the server and every player need it. Only Forge builds for 1.12.2 are published, with 1.2.9 as the latest file from 2026-02-24. It was first published on 2025-02-05.
Key features
Block data preserved
Placing and withdrawing blocks keeps their NBT data, so block entities keep their stored contents.
Inventory tag check
The wand's inventory check now recognizes items whose tags were previously missed.
Off-hand placement
Blocks held in the off-hand can be placed by the wand, without moving them into the main hand first.
Undo last operation
Ctrl+Z reverts the most recent wand operation, and several earlier operations can be undone in order.
Break mode with recipes
A break mode is linked to crafting recipes, so removed blocks can be matched against what the recipes need.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who use Better Builder's Wands on Forge 1.12.2 and want its placement bugs fixed or undo support added. Server owners running it on multiplayer servers need the mod on both sides.
