• North-South (+ Vertical) - Extend north, south, up and down from initial block. No building on north/south face

• East-West (+ Vertical) - Extend east, west, up and down from the original block. No building on east/west face
• Horizontal - Extend left and right from the original block. No building on top/bottom face.
• Vertical - Extend up and down from the original block. No building on top/bottom face

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.
