New items

Chromatic crystals

The ingredient of Scepter of friendship. Can be found in warm ocean ruins.

Royal staff rod

Infuse a Royal staff scrap into a Faint staff rod to get a Royal staff rod. See Royal staff in crafting recipe changes below.

Royal staff scrap

Renamed from Royal staff ingredient. The in-game ID is still avm_staff:royal_staff_ingredient for compatibility. It will not be removed while upgrading a world.

Faint scepter of friendship

A master level armorer has a 66.66% (I refuse to write down a brainrot number) chance of offering a Faint scepter of friendship for 2 Faint staff rods and 1 Faint scepter of friendship head.

Do you believe this is the weaponsmith's job? If so, see why I chose the armorer in this discussion, and if you still disagree, tell me that I should change this.

Faint scepter of friendship head

An expert level armorer has a 66.66% (I refuse to write down a brainrot number) chance of offering a Faint scepter of friendship head for 32 emeralds and 5 Chromatic crystals.

Do you believe this is the weaponsmith's job? If so, see why I chose the armorer in this discussion, and if you still disagree, tell me that I should change this.

Scepter of friendship

AKA The blue staff, the lapis staff

A master level cleric has a 66.66% (I refuse to write down a brainrot number) chance of offering a Scepter of friendship for 1 Faint scepter of friendship and 3 Lapis lazuli.

Removals

Faint royal staff head item

The Royal staff head is no longer faint when crafted to make it more canonically accurate. See Royal staff head in crafting recipe changes below. It will be removed while upgrading a world.

Faint royal staff item

The Royal staff is now crafted from Royal staff rods and a Royal staff head to make it more canonically accurate. It will be removed while upgrading a world.

Spectre enchantment

The bell staff applies the glowing effect regardless if it is enchanted with spectre.

Crafting recipe changes

Royal staff

Crafted from 1 Royal staff head and 2 Royal staff rods instead of their faint variants to make it more canonically accurate.

Royal staff head

Crafted from 5 Royal staff scraps in a [ or ] shape in a Crafting table. A Nether star is no longer required.

Royal staff scrap

• Redstone dust is required instead of Copper ingot
• Netherite scrap is required instead of Netherite ingot

New items in staff

Emerald block

• Acts as an infinite shield that cannot be broken.
• Can despawn certain entities (configurable using data packs) if they touch the staff's tip (the creeper will be defused instead of despawned).
• Protects against lightning bolts

Staff item behavior changes

Bell staff

• No longer immediately applies the glowing effect to align with vanilla bell behavior
• Efficiency enchantment increases its range
• Radius: 8 * (1 + efficiency)
• When bellStaffEsp game rule is set to true:
  • Any entity (not just raiders) will get the glowing effect, even behind walls
  • Radius: 2 * (1 + efficiency)

Campfire, soul campfire

• Added flamethrower sound
• Make flight much easier
  • You no longer need to crouch and jump to start flight
  • Simply right click to fire flamethrower, then jump and look downwards anytime to fly
• Crouch while flying to hover in place
  • Tilt upwards a bit to drift backwards without losing altitude
• Improve campfire flame code

Furnace, blast furnace, smoker

• A smarter AI algorithm makes it easier to smelt a heap of items on the ground
• Added a smelting progress overlay message
• Blast furnace and smoker smelt twice as fast
• Slightly decrease attack damage

Magma block

• Slightly increase attack speed

TNT

• You can no longer (accidentally) blow up an impact TNT in your face if enchanted with Distant detonation
  • An overlay message warns you if you try it anyway

New enchantments

Cohesion

• Maximum level: 5
• When a staff breaks (see new staff breaking mechanics below), each level increases the minimum number of dropped staff scraps by 5
• Can be found in woodland mansion chests (very rare)

Improved staff item insertion and removal

• Items in a staff can now be swapped with the item in the other hand
• Added an overlay message if insertion is not supported
• Added a block pickup progress overlay message

New staff breaking mechanics

When a staff breaks, it no longer disappers. Instead, it drops its item, 2 Faint staff rods, and 0-5 staff scraps (the ingredient the staff head is made of).

Staff renderer changes

• Changed staff model format
  • Item position on top of the staff can now be specified
• Bright items, such as lit furnace variants and lit campfire varaints now light up in the staff when in the dark
• Enhance campfire flame effect

Other additions

• Pranked sound effect
• bellStaffEsp game rule (default: false). See bell staff behavior changes above
• Certain items can be enabled or disabled for each staff using data packs. See the mod's built-in datapack.
