For anyone wondering, this is (moreorless) a spiritual successor to the abandoned BuildersWand Premium resource: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/abandoned-builders-wand-premium-building-util-api-configurable-1-8-1-20-4.105953/.
Additionally, feel free to contribute through the GitHub repository (if possible, please ask me first so that we can hash out a good plan for your implementation first).
API
BuildersWand does feature an API, but currently there is no documentation nor hosted API jar that can be depended on. **If you are a plugin author and looking for an implementable API, please contact me via my support Discord above and let me know that there is some level of interest.**
Default Configuration
# BuildersWand Configuration File
# this is the prefix for all messages sent by the plugin.

# supports minimessage formatting (along with the display name and lore of wands)
prefix: "&7[&bBuildersWand&7] &r"
# this isn't required for the build wand to work, but it does reduce the amount of fired events when placing blocks through the wand
# set to false if you want to handle block place event cancellations yourself and don't want extra events fired
# set to true if you want to allow other plugins to handle block place event cancellations (like WorldGuard or SuperiorSkyblock)
fireWandBlockPlaceEvent: true
# this isn't required for the build wand to work, but it does reduce the amount of fired events when using the wand
