About this Mod

Title

✨ Features

🔍 Select Any Block

Sneak + RMB a block to set it as your source block.
The wand remembers your selection and shows a clean actionbar message.

🔄 Replace Blocks with Flood‑Fill Logic

RMB a block to replace all connected blocks of the same type.
The wand uses a safe, optimized flood‑fill algorithm that respects:

  • block properties (facing, waterlogged, lit…)
  • inventories (chests, barrels, furnaces…)
  • NBT data (restored when compatible)
  • tile entity transfers
  • survival inventory limits
  • durability and cooldowns

🎨 Property‑Preserving Replacement

Exchange Wands copy all shared blockstate properties automatically.
Orientation, waterlogging, lit state, slab halves - everything transfers seamlessly.

📦 Inventory‑Aware

In survival mode:

  • the wand only replaces blocks you have
  • it removes one item per exchange
  • it drops overflow items safely

🔧 Fully Configurable

  • maximum exchange size
  • bedrock protection
  • sound & particle toggles

💎 Vanilla Tool Tiers

Each tier increases the maximum number of blocks you can exchange:

Frequently Asked Questions

Exchange Wands server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Exchange Wands compatible with fabric?

Exchange Wands officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Exchange Wands – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Exchange Wands consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
