Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Staff of Building — Minecraft Java mod, screenshot 1

Staff of Building adds in new staff items which can be used to speed up building & block placement.

Usage

Holding a staff will show a placement range (but a range will only be displayed if you have the required items in your inventory). Clicking with the staff will fill in the selection with the relevant block, which lowers the staff durability and takes the blocks from your inventory.

Installation

Staff of Building requires the Fabric Loader and Fabric API to operate. Install Fabric Loader by using the executable found in the first link, or use MultiMC. Place the API jar and the relevant mod jar file into your mods folder and run the game.
