The Wand System
NXRooms rooms are built with a 3-stage physical wand instead of typed coordinates. This page explains exactly how each stage works.
Getting the wand
Run /nxrooms wand (requires nxrooms.admin.wand). You receive an unbreakable "Room Selector" item that starts as a Golden Axe — Stage 1.
The wand's lore updates live as you use it, always telling you what to click next.
Stage 1 — Region selection (Golden Axe)
This defines the room's outer boundary: the cuboid that will contain the whole arena.
| Click | Action |
|---|---|
| Left click a block | Sets point 1 of the region. |
| Right click a block | Sets point 2 of the region. |
Any shape is accepted as long as the two points are not the exact same block — flat platforms, 1-block-wide corridors and full 3D boxes all work. Once both points are set and valid, the wand automatically upgrades to a Diamond Axe and moves to Stage 2.
Stage 2 — Crystal opening selection (Diamond Axe)
This defines the entrance: a smaller area, inside or on the edge of the room, that gets sealed with a barrier block once the room fills up.
| Click | Action |
|---|---|
| Left click a block | Sets point 1 of the crystal opening. |
| Right click a block | Sets point 2 of the crystal opening. |
The crystal opening must fall within the room's region bounds (expanded by 1 block, so you can click the outer face of a border block). If it doesn't, you'll get an error and need to re-select it. Once both points are valid, the wand upgrades to a Netherite Axe — selection complete.
Stage 3 — Confirming the room (Netherite Axe)
At this point clicking with the wand does nothing further; its lore simply shows the command to run:
/nxrooms create <name> <mode>Running that command finalizes the room, creates its WorldGuard region, and — importantly — automatically resets your wand back to Stage 1 (Golden Axe), so you can immediately start selecting the next room without running /nxrooms wand again.
Visual feedback
Every click spawns a small burst of colored particles at the clicked block:
| Selection state | Particle color |
|---|---|
| Stage 1 (region) | Gold |
| Stage 2 (crystal opening) | Aqua |
| Completed | Aqua |
