Spells!


Hi, i'm Bard0 and this is my 2º data pack. This one is a little further from the vanilla experience than my previous data pack Bard0's Better Brewing but still trying to fit the vanilla gameplay without being too op or looking too different. I hope you enjoy my work! Again, sorry for the bad english.

This data pack includes 5 different magic wands that allow you to cast spells. You can craft a wand by holding a Broken wand in one hand and a gemstone in the other hand and right-clicking to put them together, each gemstone (diamond, emerald, quartz, lapis lazuli and amethyst) results in a different wand with a different spell. Broken wands drop from Evokers when killed with a splash potion of harming. To cast a spell you need you need to hold right click using the wand to channel mana, doing so the mana from your mana bar is consumed, 1 dot per second, once you let go of right click the spell is casted, the more you channel the stronger will be the spell! The mana bar fills itself, 1 dot every 3 seconds, as long as you're not channeling. The mana bar only shows up while you're holding a wand. Wands have low durability, Unbreaking and Mending enchantments are important, because of the low durability, if your wand has mending on, only 2 exp potions are required to restore it's full durability, witch gives you a reason to have exp potions in your inventory and use it more often. The resource pack is required.


WANDS:
  • Amethyst wand (Fireball spell): Summons a fireball in the direction you're looking at, as you channel the explosion gets more powerful.
  • Emerald wand (Aura of life spell): Applies a few seconds regeneration effect to you and other players nearby, as you channel the range and the duration of the effect increases.
  • Quartz wand (Divine light spell): Creates a light source that lasts for 1 minute, as you channel the intensity of the light, as well as it's range increases.
  • Diamond wand (Wind blast spell): Generates a wind current upwards centered in block you're looking at up to 6 blocks distant. This wind current has a 3 block radios and pulls any entity within it. As you channel, the height the entities reach increases. If this spell is casted as you fly with an elytra, the wind current is generated in your current position.
  • Lapis Lazuli (Manipulation spell): This spell does not consumes mana and has a different effect depending on how much mana you channel, a quick right click with this wand repeats the last effect used so you don't have to channel again to select a effect. If used while holding shift the selected effect is undone. 1 mana dot: if used pointing at the block where an item frame or an armor stand is placed the item frame/armor stand turns invisible. 2 mana dots: In a item frame makes it unable to be altered; in a armor stand makes it's arms apear. 3 mana dots: Changes the position of the right arm of the armor stand. 4 mana dots: Changes the position of the left arm of the armor stand. 5 mana dots: Changes the position of the right leg of the armor stand. 6 mana dots: Changes the position of the left leg of the armor stand. 7 mana dots: Changes the position of the head of the armor stand. 8 mana dots: Makes the base plate of the armor stand invisible. 9 mana dots: Makes the armor stand small. 10 mana dots: Makes the armor stand unable to be altered.

You're also able to upgrade your magic wands with iron, gold or copper ingots by dropping the wand and the chosen ingot over a smithing table. Obs.: My textures are horrible, sorry about that.

UPGRADES:
  • Reinforced upgrade (Efficient spell): Using an iron ingot. Gives each wand a secondary effect. The amethyst wand gives you protections for 1 second after using fireball so that you don't take damage in case you're near the explosion. The emerald wand has an effect on the ground near the player making grass blocks replace dirt, grass grow on top of grass blocks, sea grass grow under water, it also affects some nether blocks. The quartz wand sets undead mobs in range of it's light on fire depending on how powerful is the spell. The diamond wand gives you slow falling for 1 second when you're near the ground at the end of the fall. The lapis lazuli wand makes mobs silent using 1 mana dot and holds mobs floating in the air using 2 mana dots.
  • Luxurious upgrade (Powerful spell): Using an gold ingot. Makes the spells more powerful. Fireball gets more explosive. Aura of life gives longer regeneration. Divine light lasts 3 minutes. Wind blast will lift you up higher. Manipulation will affect multiple item frames/armor stands in a 3x3x3 area.
  • Conductive upgrade (Quick spell): The mana used for the spell channels faster. Channeling 10 mana dots takes 6 seconds instead of 10.


      I haven't tested this data pack nearly enough, so let me know if there are any bugs, as well if you like it or not. I'm planning on making more data packs to add the things i want in the game. Also i haven't tested this data pack outside 1.19, so let me know if it works well on other versions, please and thank you.



      Update 1 (08/01/2023)
      The bug regarding the mana recharging has been corrected, the mana bar should now go up 1 dot every 5 seconds as planned.
      Update 2 (10/01/2023)
      Mana time recharge has been reduced from 5 seconds to 3 seconds. It's not required anymore to have the other hand empty to cast a spell.
      Update 3 (10/01/2023)
      Small bug fix.
      Update 4 (06/02/2023)
      A lot has changed.

      The manipulation spell is more precise now, in case you didn't know how to use it, you don't aim to the item frame nor the armor stand you wanna change, you aim at the block they are placed on.

      The wands that reach 0 durability will not turn into broken wands anymore. That did not make a lot of sense in the first place, since it's supposed to be a mid to late game rare item and still you can farm it with a raid farm. Plus, the item gives more use to exp bottles since the durability is so low and with the mending enchant it only takes 1 exp bottle to restore it to almost full durability.

      Upgrades have been added.

      All of the wands have been nerfed. The features removed or powered down from the basic wands can be achieved with upgrades, this way the wands are not too op since you'll have to choose what to prioritize, casting speed, power or functionality. The fireball spell explosion used to go from 1 up to 6 explosion power, now it goes only up to 4 with the basic wand and up to 6 with the Luxurious wand, Divine light was also powered down, now it only lasts 1 minute with basic wand and 3 minutes with Luxurious wands. Aura of life, Divine light and Manipulation lost secondary effects, they can now be achieved with the Reinforced upgrade. Other details can be found upwards, in the description of the upgrades.

      I understand if some of you do not enjoy these changes but my goal was always to make something that communicates with the original game. I want magic to be another path, another option for whatever you wanna do (exploring, creating, fighting) without replacing what already exists in the game, it's called balancing.
      Update 5 (07/02/2023)
      The Luxurious lapis lazuli wand now affects multiple item frames/armor stands in a 3x3x3 area.
      Update 6 (10/02/2023)
      Now using the reinforced lapis lazuli you can hold mobs floating in the air using 2 mana dots.

      I'll be uploading again but seems to be working fine to me. But have in mind that if the item on the second hand has a right-click function or if it is another wand the spell won't work anyway. Also if you reloaded the datapack update on the same world maybe that's the reason to why is not working, i'll add i little thing to fix that. Sorry about the issues
