Exchange Wands

Exchange Wands is a lightweight, polished vanilla+ utility mod that lets you swap blocks in the world with ease.

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:
