Construction Wand - KOTS
by GLDYM
Construction Wand KOTS is a Forge and NeoForge fork of Construction Wand that adds compatibility with storage, backpack and wireless terminal mods.
What it does
The fork changes how the wand is operated: it replaces the original Sneak plus wand config key combination with a single wand config key. Left Ctrl actions handle undo, switching the mode, switching the core, and opening the GUI. Item access extends beyond the hotbar, since the wand can draw items from armor slots, Curios accessory slots and L2 Backpacks.
Tom's Simple Storage wireless terminals work with the same access logic as the original, and Refined Storage wireless terminals consume energy based on item count. A configuration option allows unlimited distance and cross-dimensional access, and Beyond Dimensions is supported.
The mod is open source under the MIT License, with a public source code repository and issue tracker. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files cover Forge and NeoForge across 11 release versions, 1.20 – 26.1.2.
