Staffs

Staffs

The mod currently adds two staffs: Wind Staff and Lightning Staff. Both are crafted from the Arcane Rod, but each has a different role.

Staff Summary

Staff	Role	Durability	Cooldowns	Durability cost
Wind Staff	Movement, gliding, target control, mounted boost	192	2 seconds for leap, 12 seconds for target launch	1 per accepted use
Lightning Staff	Direct lightning strike	128	3 seconds	3 per cast

Both staffs are durability enchantable and vanishing enchantable, so they can receive durability-related enchantments such as Unbreaking, Mending, and Curse of Vanishing where Minecraft's current enchantment rules allow them.

Arcane Rod

Both staffs use one Arcane Rod. In recipe diagrams, x marks an empty slot.

Wind Leap

Right click with the Wind Staff to launch yourself in your aim direction.

Details:

• Adds forward momentum based on where you are looking.
• Adds upward lift.
• Clears fall distance when accepted.
• Costs 1 durability.
• Applies a 40 tick cooldown.

Mounted Gust

If you right click while mounted, the Wind Staff boosts your current ride instead of only boosting you.

Details:

• Boosts the ride forward based on your horizontal look direction.
• Gives the ride upward lift.
• Clears your fall distance.
• Uses the same 40 tick cooldown as normal Wind Leap.
• Costs 1 durability.

Target Launch

Using the Wind Staff directly on a living target launches that target and applies brief Levitation.

Details:

• Non-player targets get stronger launch force.
• Player targets get a lighter launch for PvP fairness.
• Applies Levitation I for 20 ticks.
• Costs 1 durability.
• Applies a 240 tick combat cooldown.

Gale Glide

Hold the Wind Staff in either hand and hold Shift while falling to glide.

Details:

• Only works while falling.
• Does not work while flying, elytra flying, in water, or on the ground.
• Clamps downward speed to slow the fall.
• Clears fall distance while active.

Lightning Staff

The Lightning Staff is a direct ranged magic weapon centered on Stormcall.

Stormcall

Right click with the Lightning Staff to call lightning where you aim.

Details:

• Range: 16 blocks.
• Cooldown: 60 ticks, or 3 seconds.
• Durability cost: 3.
• Can hit an aimed entity, an aimed block, or the max-range point if nothing is hit.
• The spawned lightning bolt is visual-only for the world impact, so it does not light the ground on fire.
• If a living entity is directly struck, the staff manually applies vanilla lightning behavior to that entity.
• Direct entity hits can burn, damage, and transform susceptible mobs through vanilla lightning logic.

Useful examples:

• Aim at a mob to damage and burn it.
• Aim at susceptible mobs to trigger their vanilla lightning transformation.
• Aim at the ground for a visual strike without starting ground fires.
