Mod compatibility
If you have Extra Utilities installed:
- In order to get the unbreakable wand, instead of a nether star, you need to use an Extra Utilities Builder's Wand.
- If you use the normal Builder's Wand in the recipe your wand will only do 64 blocks at a time. You can double that by crafting 2 wands together.
- If you use the Super Builder's Wand in the recipe, your wand will be able to do the full number of blocks.
Modpack permission: Ask and don't receive - If you ask for permission to use this mod in any pack, you are not allowed to use it in any pack for 1 month. (Telling me that you are using it a pack is ok, but don't make it a question). Or, to put it another way: You are allowed to include this mod in any modpack. Please do not bother me with such questions
