What is Construction Sticks?
2 parts
Construction Sticks is a building tool mod, made by Mrbysco as a replacement for the old Construction Wands. This pack includes version 1.2.3 of it. You use a stick to place blocks quickly, so big builds take far fewer clicks.[1][2]
What the sticks do
There are five tiers: the Stickiest Stick (shown in the pack as Stickiest Stick), Copper Stick, Iron Stick, Diamond Stick and Netherite Stick. The quest book says the more expensive the stick, the more durability it has and the more blocks it can place.[2]
Out of the box a stick just fills a space with blocks. Open its GUI to change where it places blocks, in what pattern, and even which blocks it places. You have to set a keybind yourself to open that GUI.[2]
The sticks also have their own upgrades that you craft. To apply one, combine it with your stick in a Smithing Table.[2]
Where it sits in the quest book
The pack's quest book has a "Construction Sticks" quest quest in the "Building Tips" chapter. It is completed by getting any one of the five sticks.[2]
It comes right after the "Paxel" quest quest. That follows "Tools!" quest, which asks for a plain stick, and that in turn follows the chapter's opening quest, "Building Tips!" quest.[2]
Two other quests also come after Paxel: "Building Gadgets" quest and "Compact Machines" quest. The chapter has 66 quests, but only about half of their text was available to me. If you want to know what, if anything, follows the Construction Sticks quest, check the quest book itself.[2]
How do you get started with Construction Sticks?
4 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10: To the Sky 2.0.4 guide
If you miss Construction Wands, this is the mod for you. The quest book says Mrbysco made Construction Sticks to fill that gap, and they place a lot of blocks at once. In the Building Tips chapter, "Construction Sticks" quest comes after "Paxel" quest, which itself follows "Tools!" quest. The quest asks for any one of the five sticks.[3]
Start with the Stickiest Stick
The Stickiest Stick is the first stick the quest lists, so it's a good place to begin. It's a plain crafting recipe, so you don't need any upgrades to try the basic mechanics.[3][4]

Unverified The exact block count and durability of each tier are not shown in the sources here. The mod has per-stick settings in its configuration, but no config file for it is available, so check the in-game config screen.
Learn the controls
By default a stick just places blocks to fill a space. To change how it behaves, open its GUI. The quest warns that you have to set a keybind for that yourself. Once it's open you can change where blocks go, in what pattern, and even which blocks get placed.[3]
A few handy things to know early. A bound key switches the placement restriction (Horizontal, Vertical, North/South, East/West or No lock). Blocks in your offhand are placed instead of the block you're looking at. Shulker boxes, bundles and many containers from other mods can supply building blocks to the stick.[5]
Add upgrades with templates
Sticks have their own upgrades. You craft an upgrade template, then put it together with your stick and the required item in a Smithing Table. The Smithing Table recipes show which item each upgrade needs. Here is what each template does:[3][5]
- Angel Stick Template: places a block on the opposite side of the block or row you're facing. You can right click empty space to place in midair, with the block in your offhand.[4][5]
- Battery Template: lets the stick use energy instead of durability.[4][5]
- Destruction Stick Template: destroys blocks (not block entities) on the side facing you. The undo feature restores them.[4][5]
- Replacement Stick Template: swaps blocks for the type you're holding in your offhand, handy for replacing walls after placement.[4][5]
- Unbreakable Template: places blocks without using durability, so the stick never breaks.[4][5]
Here are the template recipes, followed by an example Smithing Table upgrade.[4]

How does Construction Sticks work?
5 parts
Same as in the All the Mons 1.3.0 guide
Construction Sticks have no machines, power networks or multiblocks to set up. The mod is about building faster: you point a stick at a block and it extends the side of the building that faces you. Every stick has durability, and the rest of the mod is a set of toggles and upgrades that change how that placing works.[6]
Where blocks come from
The stick pulls its building blocks from your inventory. Shulker boxes, bundles and many containers from other mods can also supply blocks, so you can carry a big stock in one slot.[6]
Offhand priority matters too. If you hold blocks in your offhand, the stick places those instead of the block you are looking at. That is handy for adding a different material to a wall.[6]
Placement options
You can change how the stick places with keybinds or the option screen. The mod adds these keys under its own Construction Sticks category: Toggle Direction, Toggle Restriction, Toggle Upgrade, Open Stick Options, Show Previous, Toggle Random and Undo Operation.[6]
- Restriction cycles through Horizontal, Vertical, North/South, East/West and No lock. Horizontal builds a horizontal column in front of the original block, and Vertical builds a vertical column. North/South and East/West build a row in that direction on top of the original block. No lock extends from any side.[6]
- Direction decides how placed blocks face. They can face the player, or take the same direction as the target block.[6]
- Match is either Exact or Similar. Exact only extends blocks that are exactly the same. Similar treats related blocks, such as dirt and grass types, as equal.[6]
- Random places random blocks present in your hotbar instead of one repeated block.[6]
- Replace, when on, lets the stick replace certain blocks like fluids, snow and tallgrass as it places.[6]
Undo
Made a mistake? Hold the Show Previous key while looking at blocks and the last ones you placed get a green border. Press the Undo key while looking at any of them and the whole operation is undone, giving you all the items back. If you used the destruction upgrade, undo restores the blocks it removed.[6]
Upgrades
Upgrades are applied in a Smithing Table. You put the upgrade template, your stick and a required item together. Each upgrade has its own required item, so check the Smithing Table recipes in the recipe viewer. To switch between installed upgrades, press the Toggle Upgrade key while holding the stick, or use the option screen. With no upgrade active, the stick just extends your building on the side facing you.[6]
- Angel Stick Template: places a block on the opposite side of the block (or row of blocks) you are facing. Maximum distance depends on the stick tier. Right click empty space to place a block in midair, with the block you want to place in your offhand.[6]
- Battery Template: the stick uses energy instead of durability and can store energy to place blocks. You can only charge it if another mod provides a way to do so.[6]
- Destruction Stick Template: destroys blocks on the side facing you, but not block entities. Maximum number of blocks depends on the stick tier. Destroyed blocks disappear into the void, so use undo if you slip.[6]
- Replacement Stick Template: swaps blocks for the type you hold in your offhand, which is useful for replacing walls after placement.[6]
- Unbreakable Template: you place blocks without using durability, so the stick never breaks.[6]
The pack has 25 smithing upgrade recipes for this mod. Here is the angel upgrade on a Copper Stick as an example, and below it the recipe for the template itself.[7]

Stick tiers
The mod has five sticks: Stickiest Stick, Copper Stick, Iron Stick, Diamond Stick and Netherite Stick. The angel and destruction upgrades scale with the tier of the stick you use.[6]
Unverified The exact placement counts, durability, upgrade distances, destruction limits, battery capacity and undo history size for each tier in this pack could not be confirmed, because no config values for this mod are available.
How do you progress through Construction Sticks?
2 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10: To the Sky 2.0.4 guide
In this pack the Construction Sticks live in the Building Tips chapter of the quest book. The quest "Construction Sticks" quest comes after "Paxel" quest, which itself comes after "Tools!" quest, the quest that starts you off with a plain stick. It is completed by handing in any one of the five sticks, so you don't need to craft the whole line to tick it off.[3]
The five stick tiers
The quest book lists five tiers: Stickiest Stick, Copper Stick, Iron Stick, Diamond Stick and Netherite Stick. The quest says the more expensive a stick is, the more durability it has and the more blocks it can place. Out of the box a stick just fills a space with blocks, and you can change that from its GUI.[3][4]
Here is how each tier is crafted in this pack, starting with the Stickiest Stick.[4]

Which All the Mods 10: To the Sky quests use Construction Sticks?
2 parts
Construction Sticks show up in one quest chapter, "Building Tips", which is a 66-quest chapter about tools and blocks for building. The quest is "Construction Sticks" quest.[2]
What the quest asks for
You only need one of the five sticks to complete it: Stickiest Stick, Copper Stick, Iron Stick, Diamond Stick or Netherite Stick.[2]
The quest text explains the basics. The more expensive a stick is, the more durability it has and the more blocks it can place. By default a stick just places blocks to fill a space.[2]
You open the stick's GUI to change how it works, but you have to set a keybind for that yourself. In the GUI you can change where it places blocks, in what pattern, and even which blocks it places.[2]
The quest also mentions stick upgrades that you can craft. To apply one, combine it with your Construction Stick in a Smithing Table.[2]
Where it sits in the chapter
The chapter starts with "Building Tips!" quest. After it comes "Tools!" quest, which asks for a plain stick. Next is "Paxel" quest, the Paxel quest, and the Construction Sticks quest unlocks after that.[2]
So the order is: Building Tips!, then Tools!, then Paxel, then Construction Sticks.[2]
Three other quests also unlock after Paxel, so you can pick them up in any order alongside the sticks: "Compact Machines" quest, "Building Gadgets" quest and "Quarries and Mines" quest. Building Gadgets is the closest cousin, since it is another building helper.[2]
