Hiya mathwiz
I feel like I'm totally misinterpreting this or something, but the wand can be put into one of two modes. One of those modes is a "binding" mode that lets you click on a spreader, and then click on any other block. The spreader will target that block accordingly.
Sorry if I'm telling you the blindingly obvious, I'm just guessing its possible to miss it.
(This is just for your Mana Spreader comment specifically, I didn't fully understand the rest)
Yeah, but it only will target blocks you can reach. I'd like basically a long-range wand. Let me elaborate a bit on how I would use it.
I'm developing a custom modpack with an included map. In one section of the map, I want to have a wall, with the player (and a pulse spreader) on one side, pretty far away, and the objective on the other side. The player could either bridge over to the wall and tunnel through, or blow it up with turrets. I was thinking of having the pulse spreader with an entropic lens on it, and be able to aim at the wall from farther than the player can reach. Aim, press button, shoot the target. I guess I could give the player mana blaster, but I want the flavor of shooting a cannon from an airship.
