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.
