Get up and running with BuildersWand in just a few minutes. This guide will walk you through the essential steps to start building immediately.
If you have the required permission or you're an admin, you can give yourself a wand using the command:
/bw give
This gives you a basic wand, which is perfect for learning the plugin. If you want to give a wand to another player, use:
/bw give [wand name] [player]
Default available wands are basic, advanced, expert, and creative
You can also craft a wand if it has crafting enabled. Two blaze rods and one diamond are the default ingredients for the Basic wand.
When you receive a wand, you'll notice it has several properties displayed in its lore:
Durability: How many uses the wand has before it breaks
Max Range: The maximum distance the wand can build from your starting point
Mode: Whether the wand is set to place or break blocks
Hold your wand in your hand
Look at a block of the same type you want to place
Right-click to place blocks in the selected area
The wand will automatically detect connected blocks of the same type and place new blocks in adjacent empty spaces.
Switch your wand to break mode (we'll cover this in the GUI section)
Look at the blocks you want to break
Right-click to break all connected blocks of the same type
While holding your wand, sneak and left-click to open the settings menu. This GUI allows you to:
Change between place and break modes
Adjust the building distance
Toggle particle effects on/off
Access your wand's storage
Toggle auto-refill on/off
Toggle line mode on/off
Try building a simple wall:
Place a single block where you want your wall to start
Look at that block with your wand
Right-click to automatically extend the wall
The wand will continue the wall pattern, placing blocks in all connected spaces. This is much faster than placing each block individually.
Now that you understand the basics, you can explore more advanced features like line mode, storage systems, and different wand tiers. The plugin is designed to grow with your building skills; start simple and gradually discover more powerful capabilities as you become comfortable with the fundamentals.
