Construction Wand
by theta-dev
Construction Wand is a Forge equipment mod with wands that place or destroy many blocks at once, with upgrade cores for extra modes.
What it does
Four wand tiers exist: stone, iron, diamond and the Infinity wand, with higher tiers placing more blocks, reaching further and lasting longer. Tier values can be changed in the config. Every wand starts with the Construction core, which extends a build on the side facing the player by up to 1024 blocks. A placement restriction can lock the wand to one row or column, with options for horizontal, vertical, north/south and east/west.
Extra cores are crafted together with a wand to install them. The mod also has a Reach core that places a block on the far side of the block being faced, a Midair core that places blocks in the air, and a Destruction core that removes blocks on the faced side. Options and cores are changed by holding the wand option key, CTRL by default, together with a click or scroll; the server can also require SNEAK. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. Files are published for Forge for game versions 1.14.4 – 1.20.2.
Key features

The Midair core places blocks in empty air using the block held in the offhand, up to 10 blocks below the player.
Block destruction
The Destruction core removes blocks without tile entities on the faced side, with an undo option for mistakes.
