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.

(Telling me that you are using it a pack is ok, but don't make it a question). Or, to put it another way: You are allowed to include this mod in any modpack.
